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.)

Interview Friday with Author Maggie Lyons

Maggie Lyons was born in Wales and brought up in England before gravitating west to Virginia’s coast. She zigzagged her way through a motley variety of careers from orchestral management to law-firm media relations to academic editing. Writing and editing nonfiction for adults brought plenty of satisfaction but nothing like the magic she discovered in writing fiction and nonfiction for children. Several of her articles, poetry, and a chapter book have been published in the children’s magazines Stories for Children Magazine and knowonder! VS: I want to thank you for being my guest here on The Writing Mama today, Maggie. To get things started can you share what you do to help balance your writing life with your family life? Maggie: Very fortunately for me, I’m retired and my son left the nest some time ago. That doesn’t mean I have no other commitments, of course. In fact, I’m very busy as a freelance editor, but I do have the privilege of being able to control m...

Interview Friday: Author Sands Hetherington

Sands Hetherington credits his son John for being his principal motivator. Sands raised his son as a single parent from the time John was six. He read to him every night during those formative years.

Writing Prompt Monday: The Challenge

The idea is too basically express yourself on paper, learn how to use your five senses, or build upon an idea. Think back to when you were in school, it used to only take your teacher saying, “Write a paragraph or one page composition on any subject you want.” This was all it used to take to get those creative juices flowing, but what about now? If you are like me and most writers I know, you have most likely experience the dreaded word “Writer’s Block” from time to time. Getting past this wide-eyed, blank page stare can be hard, and the flashing cursor does not help matters. What is a writer to do? Well it does not matter if you are a New York Best-selling author or an aspiring author, we all need a little creative boost from time to time and that is where my Writing Prompt Monday comes in. In my search for a writing prompt for this week, I came across a great site called Creative Writing Prompts . They have over 300 writing prompts to get your creative juices flowin...
