- No, it's not for a scarier version of Left Behind or an evangelical
 re-imagining of Carrie, but the two best-selling authors team up for a conversation on writing in the April 4 issue of Writer's Digest, hitting newsstands on Friday. The duo appear on the cover, which announces “Stephen King and Jerry B. Jenkins: An Epic Conversation on Writing.”
- On his blog, Jenkins recalls how the unlikely relationship between the two authors was spawned by their concern for a mutual friend, Frank Mueller, who had done audiobooks for each author and had been critically injured in a motorcycle accident. Jenkins describes his surprise at learning that King was familiar with his work.
- During the conversation I said, “It may surprise you to know that I’m a reader of yours.” I told Stephen that while I wasn’t into horror fiction, I had read many of his short stories and that The Green Mile
 was one of my favorite novels.
He said, “It may surprise you to know that I’m a reader of yours.”
Surprised doesn’t begin to describe it. Frank had given him copies of some of the "Left Behind" series.
