The Next Big Thing

How this works: There are ten interview questions. I'll

on.

Here are the interview questions as applied to my book. Special thanks to Dana Roquet who tagged me—check out to see her Next Big Thing  here.

Let's get serious for a moment...weight in America

I was on Facebook recently and someone posted this "funny":
