Interview with Rick Sanders

Thank you for agreeing to interview with us! Our readers would like to get to know you a bit better, and perhaps read the book your author wrote about you.

What is your favorite childhood memory?

Christmas morning. My younger brother and sister would tiptoe into my bedroom and shake me awake. One year my sister literally tugged my eyelid open, and whispered, “Is it time yet, Ricky?” We weren’t allowed to go downstairs and check out what Santa left until 6 am, and they didn’t know how to tell time, so it was all on me to get Christmas rolling. Our excitement increased once we smelled the coffee brewing because that meant it was close to six.

Now I realize my folks desperately needed that first cup before we came storming downstairs because they’d been up half the night wrapping our gifts and putting toys together.

What bad habits do you struggle to overcome?

I am a control freak. (sigh). I need to know what’s going on around me and have everything planned out. I prefer to act and not just mindlessly react. That’s not always a bad thing, but it kills spontaneity, which is. I guess I’m trying to be more of a go-with-the-flow kinda guy and enjoy surprises.

What smell or scent makes you feel safe?

Freshly brewed coffee definitely puts a smile on my face, but anything with cinnamon reminds me of home. As a kid, my home was my safe place. We didn’t always have a lot of extras, but I knew that no matter what, the people who lived there loved me.

What keeps you up at night?

Cops see a lot of scary stuff. Criminal actions make me angry – especially when the victim is a child or elderly. But what really worries me are vehicle accidents. Black ice, drunk drivers, and speeding are all things that can come out of nowhere and change someone’s life in an instant.

What was your proudest moment?

The way my karate students conducted themselves when they competed in their first state karate meet made me beam. One of our students made it to the final round, and every one of the other kids knelt, by rank no less, behind her in support. That showed me that the philosophy behind karate, and not just the physical aspect of the sport, had sunk in.

Who always makes you smile?

Piper makes me smile – most of the time, lol. I love her compassion and dedication to her students most of all. She’s incredible. I’m learning that it’s okay to let go a little because she always has my back. I know I can trust her.

What is the biggest turn on for you?

Confidence is a huge turn on for me. When a woman walks into a room and doesn’t worry about how expensive her clothes are, or if the diamond on her finger is the biggest, but looks people in the eye and is herself – that’s sexy.

Do you have pets?

We live in an apartment and pets aren’t allowed. But! The second we buy our own home, I want a big hairy monster of a dog! The kind that gives you big slobbery kisses when you get home and lets all the neighborhood kids pet him.

Getting shaken awake and having an eyelid tugged open doens’t sound pleasant to me. If this is Rick’s favourite memory, I wander if he’s a secret masochist. ;-)

There’s something about a man who loves a big, hairy dog that makes me want to get to know him.
