Bay Hill resident and author Bob<br />
Thwaites, under the pen name<br />
Robert James, will have his book,<br />
Next! The Search for My Last First<br />
Date, brought to life on the big<br />
screen, as it is in production for a<br />
movie. The screenplay has been<br />
written, and casting will start later<br />
this year. The book is a hilarious,<br />
light-hearted romance about one<br />
divorced, middle-aged man’s quest<br />
for the next love of his life, based on<br />
Robert’s own experiences.<br />
“I used to tell my old assistant,<br />
Jenny, some of my dating stories,<br />
and she told me to write them down,<br />
and I had enough material to write<br />
a book, which led me to publish<br />
Next!” Robert said.<br />
Bob Thwaites, a resident of Bay Hill, signs copies of his<br />
book, Next! The Search for My Last First Date, written under<br />
the pen name Robert James and soon to be made into a<br />
movie.<br />
The book goes through the highs<br />
and lows, odd and bizarre, funny<br />
and heartbreaking, and timing and<br />
chemistry of modern dating.<br />
