Popular Novelist Works and Homeschools in N.C.

Nicholas Sparks, author of The Notebook and Message in a Bottle, described life at home in New Bern for an Indianapolis television station, WISH-TV8:

Sparks writes 2,000 words a day ... despite all the distractions.

"I have three dogs, I have a wife at home, I home school my three kids at home, there's a teacher there, there's a manager. So the phone is ringing, the dogs are barking, people are coming and going," said Sparks.

His next novel, called
The Last Song, is coming out late this summer. And he manages to read close to 100 books a year, 60% novels.

"The other 40% are history, biographies, anyone except entertainers, and uh celebrities and economics," said Sparks.
