What are you most grateful for?My health, my faith, my family. What else is there?

What brings you joy during the holidays?My family. But that’s the same every day of the year.

What was the best book you read this year?Physics of the Future by Michio Kaku. A readable, enjoyable book on what we can expect in the future in the areas of technology, nanotechnology and medicine.

Why do you think it’s important to take time to read?For me, reading is a part of my life and I couldn’t imagine a day without it. Reading is synonymous with learning and enjoyment.

What is your number one resolution for 2012?The same as always: Take time to enjoy every day. In the rush of life, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with “noise.” I try to make a conscious effort to lessen that noise and relax on a daily basis.

Author of The Best of Me

The Best of Me Nicholas Sparks, the best-selling author of 16 novels, tells the heart-wrenching story of two former high school sweethearts who re-ignite their first love after years apart.

What drew you to India for the Tiger’s Curse series?Using India as my setting was a happy accident. I picked a white tiger for my Beauty and the Beast-themed book and research on white tigers led me to India. I found a story about Durga riding a tiger into battle and the rest is history.

Why are books the best gifts?Books are awesome presents because they take you away on little mini-vacations for a very reasonable cost and anytime you feel like revisiting you can escape once again.

What is the greatest lesson you have gleaned from your son, Colton?Understanding childlike faith has been my greatest lesson. Adults are mixtures of faith and doubt. Small children, especially, have this inborn ability to trust. Colton’s simple trust in God is incredible to witness. As he describes his faith to others, “I just know who I’m praying to. I can see his face.”

How has the success of Heaven Is for Real affected your and your family’s lives?The demands that have followed our book’s release have caused us to “schedule” family time. The day-to-day priorities of life have to be protected now. Although we are very grateful that so many people have found hope or peace through Heaven Is for Real, we must still balance parenting against publicity.

If you could have one wish this holiday season, what would it be?Providing Christmas gifts for an orphanage this Christmas is a personal wish of ours.

What is your son’s favorite part of the holidays?Colton’s favorite part of the holidays is getting out of school. He is definitely your typical boy.

What gives you joy during the holidays?We especially enjoy “downtime” with each other and making memories together.
