Debut Author Maha Huneidi on Blog Talk Radio’s World of Ink Network show: Stories for Children –September 12, 2011

Blog Talk Radio’s World of Ink Network Show: Stories for Children with hosts VS Grenier, Kris Quinn Christopherson and Irene Roth will be chatting with debut children’s author Maha Huneidi.
As a mother, grandmother, meditation and yoga instructor, debut children’s author Maha Huneidi is finally doing what she is most passionate about, at sixty, being charged by a mere idea, one that she can turn into a story or article.
“I love to write. It empowers and delights me,” states Huneidi. “I also love the newness, exuberance and curiosity of little kids, and I share the two latter traits with them, as well as many other traits like the ability to make mistakes fearlessly and learn from them, for example.”
Huneidi’s debut picture book, When Monsters Get Lonely shares a fun story about a little girl who is afraid of the dark. As the lights go out, the all too real feeling of what might be hiding in the dark awaits young readers as they learn ways to face their own fears with the main character Hannah.

The hosts of Stories for Children will chat with Maha Huneidi about the inspiration behind, When Monsters Get Lonely, her upcoming World of Ink Virtual Tour and how parents/grandparents can help young children overcome their fears.

The show will air live, September 12, 2011 at 2pm EST. Tune in at the BTR World of Ink Network site at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/worldofinknetwork. You can listen/call in at (714) 242-5259. (Note: if you can’t make the show, you can listen on demand at the same link.)

Otherwise, it could be a pretty short story. Assuming you are ready to put 40 years or more down on paper, here are some tips for maximizing the effect of your finished work.

For this reason, it makes sense to give yourself lots of time, even as much as a year or more. Hopefully, you have a supply of old photographs you will be going through at the same time. But even if you don't, you can dig out those memories that are buried within. A good place to start is with a general time line of your life. You may find that you need to make more than one draft of this line, because you are likely to remember important ...
