I love going to the movies. That’s my favorite thing to do. Second best is renting movies. I love spending time with my family.

How do you find time to connect with God?

It’s like eating. If I don’t take the time to do it I eventually get hungry and weak and cranky. I keep a steady diet going by staying in my Word.

ScoopTell us about your current book?

Scoop is about a television news crew trying to gain higher ratings. It’s a comedy and the first in my new series, The Occupational Hazards.

Full Description: Channel 7 News producer Hugo Talley dreams of working with first-class professionals. Instead he’s saddled with an aging anchorwoman who refuses to release her claw-like grip on the newsdesk, a conscience-stricken reporter who’s reluctant to focus on sensationalism, and a new assistant–former homeschool student Hayden Hazard–who can’t just seem to leave her faith outside the newsroom. When the Channel 7 News team inadvertently stumbles on a hot news story, Hugo is frantic to exploit this rare opportunity. But a series of crises–including a Botox disaster and the disappearance of a colleague–threatens to destroy his chance for ratings success and send him completely over the edge. With their oddball antics and all-too-real foibles, this lovable cast of characters offers a hilarious look at the sometimes unexpected effects of taking one’s faith boldly into the workplace.
