Subject: IMPORTANT; proofreading notes for The FIREMAN draft. DO NOT GO TO PRINT!
Joe,
After a few seconds of Internet research I discovered an issue regarding the vehicles in your story. I am hoping to avoid another fiasco like the mythical safety on the revolver in Heart-Shaped Box. Yikes. I bet you're still living that down. I did notice the self deprecating reference to a revolver safety again in The FIREMAN draft (it WAS a joke, right?).
Anyhow, you wrote of a Dodge Challenger police car with a mesh barrier to detain suspects in the back seat and prevent them access to the front. This is impossible even in your mythical world since the Dodge Challenger is A TWO-DOOR CAR. There would be no way to put anyone in the back seat. I guess you mean the four door Dodge Charger, a common police car.
Please do not go to print without correcting this blatant error. As the son of Stephen King you have some big glasses to fill. I hope my notes contribute to the success of your new book.
Best regards,
