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 />
