Have you heard of Stephen King?
Yes, i have. I love Stephen King! He was born in 1947, hes american and an author of horror, supernatural fiction, suspense, science fiction and fantasy. Have you read his books? 
I have not, a friend of mine had recommended him.   
I highly recommend them as well. His books have sold more than 350 million copies, many of them adapted to films, tv series, mini series and comic books 
Oh wow! maybe I have seen one of the films? What are some film titles? 
His novella "Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption" was the bases for the film The Shawshank Redemption which is widely regarded as one of the greatest films of all time
