<p><i>BABYSITTING SUGARPAW</i>, the first book in the series, won two awards (Silver Mom's Choice Award & 2011 LUW Silver Quill Award) and because of this, Grenier decided to take yet another one of her childhood memories and turn it into another adventure full of mischief starting SugarPaw and Bonnie Whiskers.</p>

<p>Grenier has been working all this time on the book editing and going over artwork with illustrator Kevin Collier. As they come to the end of the <span class="il">KickStarter</span> campaign launched to raise the funds to get the 2nd book printed, it has motivated them to make it even better.</p>
<p> </p>

This week on Monday June 9, 2014 our guest is Dorothy Smaniotto, whose son Alex created and illustrated the Buhdeedoo. Alex is a young man with Asperger's Syndrome. He was diagnosed at the age of 6, but has never let that diagnosis slow him down. As Alex puts it, "I embrace my Asperger's rather than look at it as a disability."<br/> <br/> Dorothy is the author of her own book called "The Burgundy Journey: Using Hope, Humor & Faith To Conquer Adversity--No Matter What." The book tells the story of her struggles with a rare, incurable autoimmune disease that has caused numerous health issues. It also details how Alex was physically attacked by classroom aides in his previous public school and the emotional scars left with him.<br/> <br/> For more information, visit<br/> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/dorothy.smaniotto" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/dorothy.smaniotto</a><br/> <a href="https://www.createspace.com/4626797" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">https://www.createspace.com/4626797</a><br/> Books are also available through the author.<br/> <br/> Learn more about our network at <a href="http://worldofinknetwork.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://worldofinknetwork.com</a><br/> Find great books and articles on <a href="http://worldofinknetwork.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">our blog</a> or follow us on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-World-of-Ink-Network/214781805221758?ref=hl" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Facebook Fanpage!</a><br/> <br/>

<p><i>Whistle Beans</i> is the second book in the SugarPaw Adventure series from Award-winning Author VS Grenier. The first book, <i>Babysitting SugarPaw</i> is a Silver Mom's Choice and 2011 Silver Quill Award-winner.<br/> <br/> The artwork found inside the series is done by Illustrator and Animator Kevin Scott Collier. <br/> <br/> BEHIND THE STORY -<br/> The concepts for the books in the SugarPaw Adventure series are from Author VS Grenier's personal life.<br/> When Grenier was little, she couldn't whistle. A family friend, Charlie Baker, was one of the best whistlers and she wanted to have a strong whistle like his. Grenier practiced everyday...but never got much out beyond the <i>WHOOSHING</i> sound of air passing her lips.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>

<p></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>
<p>It was the holidays when Charlie shared his secret to a strong whistle with her over a big Christmas Dinner at her family's house. A memory VS Grenier cherishes to this day!</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-It0KMvC9T5c/U3JhFdBXrOI/AAAAAAAAEEg/SrQHcslu7sA/s1600/Whistle+Beans+9.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-It0KMvC9T5c/U3JhFdBXrOI/AAAAAAAAEEg/SrQHcslu7sA/s1600/Whistle+Beans+9.jpg" border="0" height="260" width="400"/></a></div>
<p><br/> SugarPaw will share this secret with young readers all over the world in his second children's book adventure, which is also dedicated to the loving memory of Charlie Baker!</p>

<p>Blurb:<br/> "Long ago, when Atlantis began, creatures of the world united to create a place everyone with magical blood could call home. Now the magic is under attack. One madman who thinks only his kind should be allowed is determined to shut down all the gates leading to Atlantis, to keep out the impure and unworthy before anyone figures it out and stops him.<br/> <br/> Mermaids fall ill, and the source of light and power over Atlantis begins to fade. By mistake, two mermaids discover the broken gates and issue a call to all magical creatures: unite and fight. They team up with a group of unlikely heroes and together stand against what will not only be the downfall of Atlantis, but the world."</p>

This weeks guest is <b>Lisa S. Roberts</b>, author of a 29-book adventure for children, middle school age.<br/> <b><i>Back to the Basics with Aydan & Addy – “Leadership with Abraham Lincoln”</i></b> (Tate Publishing) kicks off this series, which is both historical and magical, with leadership mentor, President Abraham Lincoln.<br/> The series features best friends, Aydan and Addy, being led by a different Spiritual Mentor in each magical adventure.<br/> <br/> Tremendous research has gone into each book, with Roberts studying the actual lives and historical legacy of the “spirit mentors” in each book.<br/> <br/> “There are so many challenges we face in America today, and life in general,” the author says. “I thought for a long time about the importance of getting back to basics and teaching some fundamental values to children through a series of fun and adventurous stories.”<br/> <br/>

<p><br/>I decided it was time to take my outline and short scene I did for a writing workshop and finally make it into the novel I've talked about for many years. What makes this novel so special to me isn't the fact I'm doing it for NaNo, but the fact it is based on true events from my junior year of high school. The main character is a mirror of myself in that year. The emotions I felt when I lost my best friend have never wholly been shared. I have rarely (and very lightly) talked about this event to anyone. I have never faced down this time in my life and I hope during this process I finally heal completely.<br/><br/><br/>A few words to my dear friend:</p>

<p><b>October 14th—19th, 2013</b></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Jon Sebba, 2013 Utah Poet of the Year Recipient, was born in South Africa. As a student in Jerusalem, he worked cataloging 19th Century medical journals, as well as at the Hydrology Institute. He also worked as a laborer in the construction of Jerusalem apartment buildings and of evaporation lagoons at the Dead Sea (1400 feet below sea level) with summer temperatures topping 115°F.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When the 1967 Arab-Israeli Six Day War began, he was married with one child. As a reservist, he was mobilized to fight in Jerusalem. Among the things he learned from that experience are: death in war is random; wars should definitely be avoided; and given the choice, few soldiers would ever start one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In 1968, Jon immigrated to the US to study civil engineering, arriving the day before Rev. Martin Luther King was assassinated. En route, he worked as a lorry driver in London for four months. He has lived and worked as an engineer in six states, divorced and remarried. He now lives in Murray, Utah, with his wife and muse, Chris. Together they have four children scattered across the US. Jon has been writing poetry since the 1970’s. In early 2013, he had a play produced at the Gallery Theater in Ogden.</p>

<p>David W. Smith, perhaps it is because his name is about as common as door knobs and paperclips that he has always tried to lead as much of an unusual life as he could. Not that David has tried a lot of unusual things; he hasn’t! A lot of David's personality and abilities dealing with people came from six years as a “Cast Member” at Walt Disney’s Magic Kingdom. At the same time he played tennis for California State University, Fullerton.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Writing for David started with short stories, written for no one and without any goal of publishing anything. But it initiated a strong desire to write more. Since tennis was such a big part of his life, and because he had such extensive experience teaching beginners to world-ranked players, David's first book attempt was in 2004, TENNIS MASTERY. The book has since been reprinted and has maintained its status as one of the top three best-selling tennis books in the country.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He later co-wrote the first of five books with Nancy Rodrigue, a Disney historian and aficionado. She was also a writer. In 2009, HIDDEN MICKEY: Sometimes Dead Men DO Tell Tales was born! The Hidden Mickey series has become the top-selling books at the Disneyland Resort as well as being one of the top-selling books at the LA Times Book Festival in 2011. The last of the series, HIDDEN MICKEY 5: Chasing New Frontiers, again a treasure hunt of sorts, is based on David's reality of working at Disneyland.</p>

<p>Traci McDonald has been a writer since she figured out how to make words on a page. Traci wrote for English classes like most people, but she wrote everything else in between. Traci won minor competitions with short stories, poetry and lyrics before becoming visually impaired. That is just a political correct way of saying Traci McDonald is blind. Traci lost her eyesight 17 years ago, but it never stopped her from living life and following her dreams. She has struggled with her health and raising kids, prior to the publication of her first novel. Traci is very excited to see her dream in life coming true. She lives in a small cozy town in the Mojave Desert, less than 150 miles from Las Vegas, Nevada.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Traci McDonald has four other books in the process of becoming published and a whole list of others she plans to write.</p>

<p>C. Michelle Jefferies practically grew up in a library. She spent her early years learning to love reading at her mother’s side. In high school, she met another writer who inspired her to write a full-length novel instead of just short stories. Michelle finished that 189 page handwritten novel the summer of her junior year.</p>
<p>When her children were old enough for her to spend a few hours at the computer without them burning the house down she returned to writing and hasn't stopped since. She can often be found writing or editing with a child in her arms or under her feet. With a passion for secret agents and all things Asian, she writes futuristic thrillers and urban fantasies about bad boys turned good. She also enjoys beating herself up in Karate class as she works toward her black belt in Tang Soo Do.</p>

In <br/>fact, when she was in the fourth grade, she completed a career project <br/>and dressed as an author with dreams of writing her own book one day.<br/> LeeAnna attended Duquesne University with a double major in political <br/>science and English with intentions of attending law school after <br/>graduation. While studying abroad in Rome, Italy, LeeAnna had a change <br/>of heart and decided to continue her education at Duquesne studying <br/>elementary education instead. She knew she found her niche the first day<br/> of class. Inspired by an assignment from a children’s literature <br/>course, LeeAnna's dream of writing a book has come true.<br/> LeeAnna currently teaches in Pittsburgh and hopes to be an inspiration to her students to follow their dreams.<br/><br/>Find out more about our Guest Author and The World of Ink Network at <a href="http://worldofinknetwork.com/">http://worldofinknetwork.com</a></div>

<p>Hadiyah Joan Carlyle grew up in a Jewish immigrant neighborhood in New Jersey, became active in the Civil Right movement of the sixties and migrated to San Francisco’s colorful Haight-Ashbury to be part of the counter-culture there. In the seventies, she was the first and only female shipyard welder in Bellingham, Washington, north of Seattle.</p>
<p>In the eighties, Hadiyah returned to the East coast to earn her MSW at Rutgers University. In 2003, she completed the certificate program in Memoir Writing through the University of Washington Extension. She is an active member of Seattle’s thriving community of writers.</p>

<div class="KonaBody player-description"><p>The Stories for Children show airs on Mondays here on the Featured World of Ink Network. Host Virginia S Grenier brings listeners Best-selling to Debut children's and young adult authors.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This week our guest will debut author L.R.W. Lee, who is touring her middle grade fantasy adventure, <em>Andy Smithson: Blast of the Dragon’s Fury (Book 1)</em> throughout May 2013.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2997467466?profile=original"><img width="323" class="align-left" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2997467466?profile=RESIZE_480x480" width="323"/></a>If you love fast-paced adventures with unexpected twists, there’s plenty of action and suspense found throughout the Land of Oomaldee.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since the age of eight, L.R.W. Lee knew she wanted to write a book. Fortunately or unfortunately, she required of herself that she have something significant to say; she sought to contribute to others in a way that could change their lives. Because a degree in Accounting at Cedarville University, as well as work in public and corporate accounting, did not provide riveting fodder for a best seller, she waited. Upon selling her business in early 2012, she had time to write and, more importantly, something significant to share.</p>

<p>Virginia S Grenier will be chatting with debut author Susanne Jacoby Hale, a former drop-out prevention teacher from New York and author of Shades of Gray. Jacoby Hale earned a master's degree from New York University in education and creative writing. Although, when she began teaching in the real ACE program, depicted in Shades of Gray, she had no idea that it would change her life forever. Having been out of the classroom for a few years, Jacoby Hale still felt the need to make a difference in the lives of students.<br/> <a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2997468513?profile=original" target="_self"><img width="319" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2997468513?profile=RESIZE_320x320" class="align-center" width="319"/></a></p>
<p>Susanne Jacoby Hale felt the need to tell the story of a dedicated teacher. She believes good teachers are often unappreciated, while students’ needs are frequently misconstrued. Sometimes the only thing missing in today’s classrooms is compassion. Her book is the fictional account of a new teacher's experience with one of NYC's most notoriously turbulent schools, while attempting to maintain control over her life outside the classroom.</p>
<p>Susanne Jacoby Hale has been featured on NBC, USA Today, and ABC. More information about the book: Shades of Gray by Susanne Jacoby Hale at <a href="http://susannejacobyhale.com/">http://SusanneJacobyHale.com/</a></p>
