S. P. Bailey
. P. Bailey {[email protected]} watched a game show called “Double Dare” back in the ’80s. Rather than answer difficult questions, contestants could declare: “I’ll take the physical challenge!” Physical challenges generally involved taking a pie in the face or having copious amounts of green slime poured over one’s head. S. P. Bailey wishes life had a “I’ll take the physical challenge!” option. Boss giving you a hard time? Don’t want to take that test? Need to discipline a difficult child? Spouse reasonably concerned about something? Just take the physical challenge! S. P. Bailey resides in Utah with his wife and kids. He practices law in Utah and Idaho. He is the author of Millstone City and The Mission Rules, and his works have also appeared in Fire in the Pasture and Monsters & Mormons. His homemade author vanity website: spbailey.net
