Physician Assistant in New Stephen King Novel
Maine physician assistant Julia Shumway is one of the main characters in Stephen King's upcoming novel, Under the Dome.
Characters in the cast of more than 100 include Dale Barbara, a Gulf veteran and now a cook, the town's newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a physician's assistant at the hospital and three children. They're up against an evil politician, Big Jim Rennie – who's desperate to hold onto power and will stop at nothing, even murder – and his son, who in classic King style, "is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry". Meanwhile, time under the Dome is running out.
King has been working on the novel for more than 25 years. It will be published in November.
