Y grad aims to build a social network for LDS singles

It's hardly a new idea to use the Internet to help 20-something and 30-something single adult members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints meet, date and marry.

He wants to create the ultimate site for LDS singles, the last one that he or anyone else will ever need or use to meet and mingle with like-minded LDS singles.

Best-selling Mormon author shares story — and his cellphone number

Several years ago I appeared on Glenn Beck's television program to discuss my novel, “The Wednesday Letters.” Much to Beck’s astonishment, I chose to share my cellphone number on air with his audience. I invited them to call and share their memories on the importance of personal, handwritten letters in their lives. I will never forget Beck leaning forward and looking straight into the camera with that patented, sneaky look in his eyes. “Please call him at 2 in the morning." After the interview ended, we said goodbye and he promised me my phone would ring.
