Stephen Mead asked C.J. Tudor:

In The Other People, which I loved by the way, you refer to walking the Green Mile. In most prisons this is referred to as the Last Mile. Was this a deliberate nod to Stephen King, or just another example of how his work is so popular it has come to influence our language, in the way we now call internet searches "googling"?

C.J. Tudor Thanks for the question - and sorry for the delay in answering! Yes, it's a nod to Mr King. I'm a massive fan and constant reader. But I certainly see what you mean about his influence. x
