Author of The Rotten Adventures of Zachary Ruthless

1. What exotic animal do you wish you could have as a pet? The Rotten Adventures of Zachary Ruthless by Allan Woodrow
I’m allergic to furry animals, which eliminates a whole bunch of stuff. Reptiles are slimy. Fish are boring. Pet rocks are too needy. And I don’t like to clean up after anything. In fact, I’d prefer the pet to clean up after me. So how about a robot? Just not a robot that will rebel against it’s human master and start a war, because that just sounds like way too much work for me.

2. What is your favorite mid-day snack?
After dinner, I’m all about the sweet, but mid-day I’m seriously salty. Chips of any shape or size. Nuts are good. Just not Cheetos or Doritos because it makes the keyboard orange.

3. How many movies have you seen in the past month?
I’m a Netflix movie-aholic. So maybe 8? About two a week. We don’t get out to the theater much. That’s the curse of having little kids, and being perpetually tired.

4. Describe your normal grocery store trip.
Every Sunday morning I grab the reusable grocery bags and head out, list in hand, all pre-planned down to the carrot sticks. Dinner for every night is mapped out precisely. Since my wife and i have lengthy driving commutes, it’s hard to get out mid week, even for a gallon of milk. If only my books were so well thought out ahead of time!

5. What is the most unusual thing you never leave the house without?
I’m a guy. Guy’s grab their wallets and as long as they have clothes on, they’re good to go. No purses for us manly folk. So the only thing that could be weird might be a piece of food that’s sticking to my shirt or something.

More about The Rotten Adventures of Zachary Ruthless:
Are you rotten enough to read this book?

Ha! And I mean that in a laugh-in-your-face, you’re not- really-rotten-at-all way. Have you ever destroyed the planet? Turned earthworms into your personal army of doom? Refused to eat your broccoli and hidden it in your underwear? Well, never mind that last one. I mean, who hasn’t? But still, no one is as rotten as Zachary Ruthless. In fact, his adventures are so rotten you might want to just put this book down now and back away very slowly.
