Interview:

If you could travel in a Time Machine would you go back to the past or into the future?
I would definitely go into the future. I'm pretty tech-savy, so giving up my cell phone and laptop to live in the past would be pretty miserable. Also, not having the vast amounts of information on the internet at my fingertips would be a real bummer.


If you were stranded on a desert island what 3 things would you want with you?
A swiss army knife, a short-wave radio, and a Kindle with a lot of books on it. That way I could try to contact passing ships, never be bored with a ton of books to read, and take care of business with the swiss army knife.

What is the last book you read?
The last book I read was Driven, the biography of Larry Miller. I tore through it in a few days and highly recommend it. It was both entertaining and informative. I took a class in college that he taught and have been able to apply many of the lessons he taught to my life. He was an amazing person. Not perfect, but amazing.

What is the last movie you saw?
Toy Story 3. It was the first time either of my sons had been to a movie theater, so it was quite the adventure. I liked the movie a lot.

If you were a superhero what would your name be?
Super Fix-It Man. I'm the guy that everyone on the block calls if something goes wrong with their computer or anything electronic.

If you could have any superpower what would you choose?
I think the most common response to this question is the ability to fly. I agree with everybody else.

What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?
I'm a biscuits and gravy fan. It doesn't get much better than that.

Is there anything you need in order to write? (ie Chocolate, quiet, music)
I needed to be alone away from distractions. I wrote the majority of my book late at night. I also wrote a good portion of it away from home on boy scout trips. During the day while the scouts were off doing their activities I would be back at the camp typing away. It was kind of <

I met Jarett Waite at the St. George Book Festival on Saturday. He was kind enough of offer me a copy of his book I Asked Her Out, She Said Yes - Now What?

I am obviously not the target audience for this book but I do have a son who turns 16 next month and thought it might be a book I could pass on to him.

I Asked Her Out, She Said Yes - Now What?: A Crash Course in Dates that Lead to Relationships is a quick, easy read. It's just 75 pages long which is a great length for the target audience. It's not intimidating and short enough to read in a single sitting. The books discusses dating basics including being creative, having fun, being yourself and a step by step walk through on planning a date.

Ironically when I got home on Saturday afternoon I found my son and his friends getting ready to go to a dance. They were surfing the internet looking for ideas on how to ask a girl to dance and how to talk to her. I'm sure this book would be right up their alley. Now to get them to read it. If I hand it to my son I'm sure he'll balk and want nothing to do with it so I'm just going to put it on his nightstand and hopefully he'll pick it up and read it.

If you have a son, grandson (or boyfriend) who is just starting to date this would be a good book to give to them. Even better for those who are a little older and need a few tips.
