Gordon said Stephen and Tabitha King came to his hometown to see if he was the right person for the book.
"They came and met me at my hometown and ate at a restaurant called Olympic Restaurant. And she told Stephen, she says, Flash is the right person for this. Stephen told me, he said, when she said that there was no other body, no other person, we were thinking that this was gonna happen with you, my friend," Gordon said.
"And that was the actual final outcome. And I'm grateful."
Gordon questioned King about why he was chosen and not anyone else.
"I asked a couple times, why me? You know, why me? And he said to me, there was no better guy to do this with because we liked how you approached the game. And I approached the game the same way I did as a kid," Gordon said.
