Hi, my name is Chris Lytle. I’m the author of the new book Lights Out on Bullying. My youngest son Jake has autism and it’s just always something - since I’ve really watched him and noticed him growing up - I just realized I’m very sensitive to that type of thing. I pay attention when I hear that other kids are having problems or being bullied, it really hurts my heart and bothers me. I think, “Is there anything I could do?” and I know there is something that I can do and this is it. This is one thing I can do where people will actually listen to me and hopefully I can make a difference.
If I hadn’t published this book, I think a lot would be lost as far as, like, kids won’t be able to hear from a fighter, that they look at as something who is going to possibly be a bully, and all of a sudden they’re talking to them about not bullying; I think they get a lot from that.
Challenging Readers
As I’m challenging people to step up and to stop bullying and to do things that it is their responsibility. When I challenge people to do that and they say they will accept that challenge that they will stop it next time, that’s a huge reward. That’s kind of the biggest reward I could ever ask for.
Publishing the Book
I tried to figure out who I wanted to have publish this; I really didn’t know. I met a gentleman who worked for WestBow and I started looking into them. They have a lot of different resources so I decided that would be a good one to look into. The more I got to talking to people the more it seemed like a good fit. You have a lot of different access and a lot of different people saying positive things – that’s where you want to go.
