You seem very well spoken for a man who has spent the past 18 years behind bars. Where were you in your life when you were incarcerated? What were your plans for your life at the time? What are your plans now?

I love the juice bar name! Way to go!

Thank you so much for doing this AMA. I'm a middle school teacher and I wish my students would read more or your work. How do you feel about some of the newer works of literature that are coming out for teens these days? (Hunger Games, Twilight, Harry Potter)

I'm a middle school science teacher in NY. I have a student whose parents have threatened, in the past, to sue me if I don't allow their child to discuss the Bible in class. What exactly are the Supreme Court rulings on cases like this?

So far, they haven't sued because I'm pretty sure they know they'll lose. But, I have one more year of teaching their kids and I'd like to have as much background knowledge as possible the next time dad marches into my classroom with his little notebook of Bible verses.

Thank you so much for your answer. I'll give that a try!

I absolutely loved your interview on NPR a couple of weeks ago. Luckily, I was on a long drive and was listening on satellite radio so I was able to hear the whole thing. I'm so glad I saw this on here. It reminded me to download your book onto my Nook.
