Jack Gunthridge has a high functioning form of autism known as Asperger's Syndrome. He is very open about his autism diagnosis and doesn't consider it a disability. It is a difference in thinking that people like Jane Austen, Mark Twain, Beethoven, Michelangelo, Isaac Newton, and Albert Einstein are believed to have had.Jack wants to encourage readers to give his books a try. If you look at his reviews, they are either positive or negative with very little in the middle. Since he has a different way of thinking, his books will be written differently. Some will find this refreshing. Others won't quite know what to do with it because it doesn't fit the standard pattern or expectations of what other authors are producing.

Out of the Blue Whispers in the Dark - Jack Gunthridge
Chapter One
I have never understood love, even though I have always felt there is a soul mate waiting for me somewhere out there. It was like my heart was a bank that was saving up all of my love for some future girl that would forever change my life.
I have looked for logical explanations. I could blame it on the fact I have been haunted by dreams of another life that I knew I wasn’t really living. For as long as I can remember I have had dreams where it felt like I was watching myself with this girl, even though I knew that the person I was watching didn’t look anything like me. He was more muscular, had curly brown hair, and brown eyes. For the longest time, I had hoped I would grow into his body, but I was never willing to put that amount of time in at the gym and muscles like that do not develop on a boy just because he dreamed them. I was content to share in that idealized man’s experiences, even though they were things that a boy of my age wouldn’t dream about.
It was probably better for me to look like that in my dreams with her. How could she not love me? I had an eight pack, defined pecks, arms of a warrior, legs of lethal fury, and an ass that could crack walnuts with a simple squeeze. I don’t want to put down my own body and its strength, but my arms couldn’t crack a walnut. My ass could manage it if I somehow stumbled and fell on it in the right way. But in dreams, I could be this magnificent man worthy of her.
She was beautiful, sweet, and fun to be around. She adored me with every ounce of her being. A smile always came to her lips as soon as she saw me, but it would never truly hide the sadness in her eyes. It was like she was wanting something more from me. She was looking for a release. She was waiting for me to find a way for our souls to become one. She wanted us to be together. I just could never figure out how we spent so much time together in dreams and she wanted more. What was separating us, except the fact that we had never met? I couldn’t solve the riddle. How do you find the love of your life when you have only seen her in your dreams and you have nowhere else to begin to look for her?
I tried talking to Maggie about it one time, but I don’t think she really understood what I was telling her. She told me that years of Disney movies and romantic comedies had made her expect certain things from men, relationships, and dating. According to everything she had seen on TV and movies, she should have been able to get a certain guy that she liked to ask her out by this point.
I knew she was talking about me. Everybody knew that Maggie loved me. I admit I might have been a little bit slower picking up on it than most people, but I did figure it out when she wrote our names inside of a heart in the back of my sixth grade social studies book. The painfully obvious barely escapes me.
That made for an awkward summer. I acted like I had never seen the heart. It seemed like a good idea at the time. My thinking was that if I denied her handwritten declaration of love for me, then we could continue being friends like we had always been. We could still talk, hang out, laugh, and tell each other all of the stuff that none of our other friends would understand.
It’s not that I didn’t want to ask her out or have a relationship with her. I liked her a lot and still do. She’s my best friend. It’s just that I can’t escape these dreams of a girl that I have never met and my relationship with her. As good as I am with Maggie, I am better with this other dream girl. It’s like she is my soul mate, whereas Maggie is a female friend that I am attracted to and have fun with.
I don’t know how to explain it other than saying that it is a feeling of knowing that there is a girl out there for me that completes me. She fills a longing and aching in my heart and soul. Anybody else is just trying to fill a
