What is the one book you want us to read (title, genre, and availability). 

My book is called FOOLS! FOOLS! Is an entertainment/humor book. It can be found on Smashwords or Amazon.

Give us a one sentence synopsis.

Set between 2003 and 2008 FOOLS follows the adventures of Joseph Mackey and David Chandra, as well as the misadventures and actions of various fools.

Who are the main characters and who would you like to see portray them in a movie?

Me and my friend Dave Chandra are the main characters aside from assorted fools. I would like to see Jim Carrey portray me and Kal Penn play Dave. I think they are both exceptional actors and Jim Carrey is the funniest man alive.

Tell us about the story, but please don't reveal too much.

In 2003 I meet Dave Chandra and he tells me about a man who drops his suitcase down the toilet. We quickly become friends. After that we go on adventures such as stopping robberies, catching the insane, and hanging out with the Pillsbury Dough Boy. We see and record a lot of stupid things happening which is the focus of the book. The story ends in 2008.

What inspired you to write this book and how long did it take?

This book started out as a joke between me and my friend Dave Chandra. When I was in college we laughed about it and I didn't work on it until 2006, a year after college was over. I was unemployed at the time and I thought it would be a good project. It took about a month to write on paper but the inspiration took considerably longer.

None yet, but I am in the process of writing a follow up or sequel.

Which authors inspired you, your style? None at the time although my friend Heather Dickson is a writer and she inspires me.

Is there anything else you would like us to know? 

This book was a lot of fun to write and I am glad to have done so. I loved doing it, and this book makes me laugh every time I pick it up. Hopefully many other people will do so too. At the present time, I am writing a follow up that is a direct sequel. It will take me longer as I have other responsibilities now, but it is a great work in progress.
