I listened to the King and Grisham video again tonight, the one where they visited Bradenton, Florida and had a conversation-style Q & A. Very funny. King was telling how Tabby's sister, Marcella, had overheard (through the bedroom wall) King's soon-to-be father-in-law say in a grumbling voice, "I'm gonna be supporting that four-eyed SOB for the rest of my life!".
King laughed, faced the audience, and said, "Yeah, I thought about that every time I bought him a new car."

Grisham asked him if he preferred e-books over regular books, and not skipping a beat he says, "I like 'em both; I'm a bit bisexual in that way."

Hilarious.

I dreamed Stephen King's next book was a Dark Tower book about Jake (alone) as a kind of Dr. Who in a King Universe. He appeared (Quantum Leap style) in different King novels and tried to help the good guys. Half his battle would be figuring out his mission while fighting the low men. For example, he might be in Colorado and try to help Paul escape from Annie's house. Easy, right? But Jake is just a kid and he doesn't have his Tet.
In some cases he arrives in a book before the arrival of a character (Ben to Salem's Lot, maybe) and sometimes in medias res. The fun of it would be how Jake impacts the story or even changes the outcomes we all know and love.
Two Questions:
1. Would you read this?
2. Who would you want Jake to help or which character's death would you like him to prevent? Please use spoilers.
