Stephen King, the so-called "king of horror," has published more than 50 best-selling titles over the past 44 years. His latest, "The Outsider," explores the idea of being in two places at the same time. King joins "CBS This Morning" to discuss what sparked the idea for his new novel and the themes he explores in it.

King is right about a book's characters doing things on their own. In one of my novels I introduced a minor character to enter the story, exposit, and exit. When it came time for the exit, I realized, "Hey, she wouldn't do that. She'd come along and continue to help." She became a major character. That was when I realized that once you've given a character a personality, everything the character does has to be consistent with that personality.
