Nicholas Charles Sparks is a great American producer! He is also a romance writer and screenwriter. Do you like him?
never heard of the guy.
Well, he has published 19 novels and only 2 non-fiction books, so he's been around for a bit. 
oh thats quite impressive.
There have been quite a few that were international bestsellers. Actually, 11 of his romantic drama novels were made into box office films.
wow wait thats so insane
You would probably best know him for his novel-turned-film, The Notebook! 
OH yea i have heard of that
Yes, it was a wonderful movie, some would say the best romance movie out there. The novel made it to the best seller the first week it was released.
thanks for all the info on the dude
