2:07
on
2:08
the
2:08
Boy
2:08
in
2:08

2:09
I'm
2:09
looking
2:10
forward
2:10
to
2:10
our
2:11
conversation.
2:12
Chrishana
2:13
is
2:13
a
2:13
prolific
2:14
children's
2:15
book
2:15
authority
2:16
and
2:16
is
2:16
also
2:16
co
2:17
authored
2:17
with
2:17
her
2:17
daughter,
2:18
Brooklyn.
2:19
I
2:19
went
2:19
to
2:20
your
2:20
website
2:20
and
2:20
I
2:21
counted
2:21
how
2:21
many
2:21
children's
2:22
books
2:23
I
2:23
think
2:23
I
2:24
got
2:24
you
2:24
around
2:25
10,
2:25
is
2:25
that
2:26
correct?
2:27
I'm
2:28
probably
2:28
over
2:28
10
2:28
by
2:28
now.
2:30
That's
2:31
fantastic.
2:32
It's
2:32
just
2:32
wonderful
2:33
when
2:33
you
2:33
think
2:33
of
2:34
the
2:34
amount
2:34
of
2:34
books
2:35
that
2:35
you
2:35
children's
2:35
books
2:36
you've
2:36
brought
2:36
into
2:37
the
2:37
world.
2:38
And
2:39
also
2:41
I
2:41
want
2:41
to
2:41
thank
2:42
you
2:42
for
2:43
co
2:43
authoring
2:44
with
2:44
your
2:44
daughter
2:44
because
2:45
you
2:45
know
2:45
what?
2:45
I've
2:46
co
2:46
authored
2:47
my
2:47
first
2:47
book
2:47
with
2:48
my
2:48
oldest
2:48
granddaughter
2:49
and
2:50
we
2:50
just
2:51
are
2:51
launching
2:51
our
2:52
second
2:52
book,
2:52
High
2:52
Jinks
2:53
from
2:53
the
2:53
Big
2:53
Head
2:54
Folk
2:54
Music
2:54
Festival.
2:55
And
2:55
this
2:55
is
2:56
my
2:56
oldest
2:56
granddaughter,
2:57
Kyra.
2:58
And
2:58
this
2:58
is
2:59
my
2:59
middle
3:00
granddaughter,
3:00
Bailey.
3:01
And
3:01
they're
3:01
both
3:01
characters
3:02
in
3:02
the
3:02
book.
3:02
So
3:03
fun.
3:03
It's
3:04
neat
3:04
that
3:04
we
3:04
share
3:05
that
3:05
in
3:05
common.
3:07
Before
3:07
we
3:07
get
3:08
into
3:08
the
3:08
details
3:09
of
3:09
your
3:10
book,
3:10
I'd
3:11
like
3:11
to
3:11
talk
3:11
to
3:11
you
3:11
about
3:12
because
3:12
with
3:13
you
3:13
being
3:13
such
3:13
a
3:14
prolific
3:14
children's
3:15
book
3:15
author,
3:16
can
3:16
you
3:17
talk
3:17
to
3:18
us
3:18
about
3:19
what
3:19
does
3:19
it
3:19
mean
3:20
being
3:20
a
3:20
children's
3:21
book
3:21
author
3:21
for
3:21
you?
3:23
Being
3:23
a
3:23
children's
3:23
book
3:24
author
3:24
means
3:25
I'm
3:26
able
3:26
to
3:26
tell
3:27
stories
3:27
to
3:27
all
3:28
different
3:28
groups
3:28
and
3:29
classes
3:29
of
3:29
children,
3:30
regardless
3:30
of
3:30
where
3:31
their
3:31
background.
3:31
So
3:32
as
3:32
you
3:32
when
3:32
you
3:32
look
3:33
at
3:33
my
3:33
books
3:34
online,
3:34
you
3:34
see
3:34
I
3:35
have
3:35
so
3:35
many
3:35
different
3:36
types
3:36
of
3:36
books.
3:37
I
3:37
don't
3:37
write
3:37
books
3:37
like
3:38
the
3:38
Cat
3:38
in
3:38
the
3:38
Hat
3:38
or
3:39
spongebob
3:40
squarepants,
3:40
but
3:41
no
3:41
shade
3:42
intended.
3:42
None
3:43
whatsoever.
3:43
But
3:43
I
3:43
try
3:44
to
3:44
make
3:44
realistic
3:44
books.
3:45
So
3:45
for
3:45
example,
3:45
like
3:46
my
3:46
book
3:46
the
3:46
Boy
3:46
in
3:46
the
3:47
Wheelchair,
3:47
that
3:47
book
3:48
is
3:48
speaks
3:48
on
3:48
the
3:49
realistic
3:49
of
3:49
a
3:49
child
3:49
that's
3:50
in
3:50
the
3:50
wheelchair
3:51
and
3:51
the
3:51
struggle
3:52
that
3:52
they
3:52
may
3:52
have
3:52
the
3:53
positivity
3:54
and
3:54
the
3:54
light
3:54
and
3:55
really
3:55
ultimately
3:56
show
3:56
that
3:56
they
3:56
are
3:56
able
3:57
to
3:57
live
3:57
a
3:57
normal
3:57
life.
3:58
Fantastic.
3:59
So
4:00
talk
4:00
to
4:00
us
4:01
about
4:01
the
4:01
inspiration
4:02
behind
4:03
this
4:03
book,
4:04
the
4:04
Boy
4:04
in
4:04
the
4:05
Wheelchair.
4:06
So
4:07
the
4:07
inspiration
4:07
about
4:07
that
4:08
book
4:08
came
4:08
from.
4:10
How
4:10
can
4:10
I
4:10
say
4:10
this?
4:11
So
4:12
I'm
4:12
a
4:12
veteran.
4:13
Okay.
4:14
I'm
4:14
going
4:14
to
4:14
be
4:14
quite
4:14
transparent.
4:15
I'm
4:15
a
4:15
military
4:16
veteran
4:16
and
4:16
when
4:17
I
4:17
go
4:17
inside
4:17
the
4:17
va,
4:18
I
4:18
see
4:18
so
4:18
many
4:19
different
4:19
vets
4:19
that
4:20
are
4:20
in
4:20
wheelchairs
4:21
and
4:21
everything
4:21
like
4:21
that.
4:21
Like,
4:21
I
4:22
have
4:22
not
4:22
really
4:22
came
4:22
across
4:23
a
4:23
lot
4:23
of
4:23
children
4:23
in
4:24
wheelchairs,
4:24
but
4:25
I
4:25
See
4:25
a
4:25
lot
4:25
of
4:25
veterans
4:26
like
4:26
it.
4:26
So
4:26
that's
4:26
what
4:27
really
4:27
inspired
4:27
me
4:27
to
4:28
really
4:28
write
4:28
the
4:28
book.
4:28
Like
4:28
just
4:29
seeing
4:29
my
4:29
fellow
4:29
vets.
4:29
But
4:30
I
4:30
didn't
4:31
want
4:31
to
4:31
write
4:31
it
4:31
from
4:32
a
4:32
veteran's
4:33
perspective
4:34
because
4:34
all
4:34
my
4:34
books
4:35
are
4:35
geared
4:35
towards
4:36
children.
4:36
So
4:37
I
4:37
just,
4:37
I
4:37
just
4:38
geared
4:38
it
4:38
back
4:38
towards
4:38
children.
4:39
But
4:39
I
4:39
did
4:39
a
4:39
little
4:39
bit
4:39
more
4:40
research
4:40
on
4:40
it
4:40
to
4:40
really
4:41
see
4:41
how
4:42
children
4:42
are
4:42
able
4:42
to
4:42
participate
4:43
within
4:43
the
4:43
world
4:43
in
4:44
regards
4:44
to
4:44
how
4:44
they're
4:45
able
4:45
to
4:45
bicycle,
4:45
how
4:46
they're
4:46
able
4:46
to.
4:46
Able
4:46
to
4:46
do
4:47
swim
4:47
lessons
4:47
and
4:47
things
4:48
of
4:48
that
4:48
nature.
4:48
So
4:49
I
4:49
just
4:49
took
4:49
my
4:49
military
4:50
experience
4:50
and
4:50
what
4:50
I
4:50
see
4:50
on
4:51
a
4:51
day
4:51
to
4:51
day
4:51
and
4:51
I
4:51
just
4:52
transitioned
4:53
it
4:53
back
4:53
to
4:53
my
4:53
work.
4:54
Fantastic.
4:55
Fantastic.
4:56
And
4:56
was
4:57
there,
4:57
is
4:58
that,
4:58
was
4:59
there
4:59
any
4:59
specific
5:00
experience
5:01
that
5:01
you
5:01
had
5:02
that
5:02
besides
5:03
the
5:03
vets,
5:03
like
5:04
in
5:04
terms
5:04
of,
5:05
was
5:05
the
5:05
child
5:06
reflected
5:06
in
5:07
any
5:07
way
5:07
that
5:08
someone
5:08
you
5:08
knew
5:09
or.
5:10
It
5:11
wasn't
5:11
even
5:11
more
5:11
so
5:11
in
5:12
regards
5:12
to,
5:12
in
5:12
regards
5:12
to
5:13
like
5:13
children.
5:13
It
5:13
was
5:14
more
5:14
so
5:14
just
5:14
a
5:14
struggle
5:15
that
5:15
I
5:15
see
5:15
veterans
5:16
go
5:16
through.
5:16
Like,
5:16
I
5:16
see
5:17
veterans
5:17
like
5:18
they're
5:18
as.
5:18
When
5:18
I
5:18
go
5:18
outside
5:19
to
5:19
be.
5:19
I
5:19
see
5:19
veterans
5:20
are
5:21
taking
5:21
so
5:21
many
5:22
necessary
5:22
steps
5:23
to
5:23
be
5:23
able
5:23
to
5:23
participate
5:24
in
5:24
a
5:24
normal
5:25
day
5:25
life.
5:26
So
5:26
I'm
5:26
like,
5:26
oh,
5:26
there
5:26
are
5:26
children
5:27
that
5:27
are
5:27
like
5:27
this.
5:27
So
5:27
let
5:28
me
5:28
enhance
5:29
this
5:29
and
5:29
bring
5:29
more
5:30
light
5:30
to
5:30
it.
5:30
Okay.
5:31
I'm
5:31
really
5:32
interested
5:33
because
5:33
I've
5:33
only
5:33
had,
5:34
besides
5:35
yourself,
5:35
I've
5:36
only
5:36
had
5:36
one
5:36
other
5:37
children's
5:37
book
5:37
author
5:38
who
5:38
has
5:38
written
5:39
as
5:39
many
5:39
books
5:39
as
5:39
you.
5:40
So
5:40
that's
5:40
just
5:41
incredible.
5:41
Hats
5:42
off
5:42
to
5:42
you.
5:42
And
5:43
I'm
5:43
interested.
5:45
Do
5:45
you
5:45
have
5:45
a
5:46
children's
5:46
book
5:47
business
5:48
plan?
5:48
What's
5:48
your
5:49
business
5:49
plan
5:50
that
5:50
you're
5:50
so
5:50
prolific
5:51
in
5:51
bringing
5:51
all
5:52
these
5:52
books
5:52
to
5:52
market?
5:54
I
5:54
think
5:54
what
5:55
makes
5:55
my.
5:55
Are
5:55
you
5:55
asking
5:56
what
5:56
makes
5:56
my
5:56
book?
5:56
How
5:56
am
5:57
I
5:57
able
5:57
to
5:57
market
5:57
my
5:57
books?
5:58
The
5:58
whole
5:59
business
5:59
plan
6:00
to
6:00
be
6:00
able
6:00
to
6:01
bring
6:01
that
6:01
many
6:01
books
6:02
to
6:03
life
6:03
is
6:04
just
6:04
remarkable.
6:05
We're
6:06
launching
6:06
our
6:06
second
6:07
book
6:07
and
6:07
I
6:07
know
6:08
how
6:09
much
6:09
work
6:09
it
6:10
is,
6:10
so
6:10
I
6:10
know
6:11
how
6:11
much
6:11
work
6:11
you've
6:12
done.
6:12
And
6:12
I'm
6:13
just
6:13
curious,
6:13
how
6:13
did
6:14
you
6:14
build
6:14
a
6:14
business,
6:15
a
6:15
children's
6:16
book
6:16
business
6:17
from
6:18
this?
6:18
But
6:19
to
6:19
be
6:19
honest,
6:19
it
6:19
started
6:20
with
6:20
my
6:20
daughter.
6:21
It
6:21
started
6:21
at
6:21
the.
6:21
Our
6:22
first
6:22
book.
6:22
If
6:22
you
6:22
look
6:22
on
6:22
my
6:23
website,
6:23
my
6:23
first
6:23
children
6:23
book
6:24
that
6:24
ever
6:24
published
6:25
was
6:25
Me
6:25
and
6:25
Mommy's
6:26
Adventures.
6:27
And
6:28
with
6:28
that
6:29
book,
6:29
when
6:29
I
6:29
first
6:30
published
6:30
that
6:30
book,
6:30
like,
6:31
people
6:31
just
6:32
loved
6:32
it.
6:33
So
6:33
I'm
6:33
like,
6:33
okay,
6:33
maybe
6:34
this
6:34
is
6:34
my
6:34
niche.
6:35
And
6:35
then
6:35
I
6:35
just
6:35
started
6:35
getting
6:36
able
6:36
to
6:37
write
6:37
the
6:37
books
6:37
faster.
6:38
Like
6:38
it
6:38
literally
6:38
takes
6:39
me
6:39
like
6:39
30
6:39
minutes
6:40
or
6:40
20
6:40
minutes
6:40
to
6:40
write
6:40
a
6:40
book.
6:41
And
6:41
then
6:41
I
6:42
just
6:42
started
6:42
using
6:42
like
6:43
the
6:43
platform
6:43
that
6:43
I
6:43
had
6:43
built
6:44
from
6:44
like
6:44
social
6:44
media
6:45
and
6:45
I
6:45
just
6:45
posted
6:45
it
6:46
and
6:46
the
6:46
stuff
6:46
that
6:46
I
6:46
have
6:46
may
6:47
have
6:47
learned
6:48
from
6:48
when
6:48
I
6:48
went
6:49
through
6:49
a
6:49
publisher,
6:51
the
6:51
things
6:51
that
6:52
I
6:52
learned
6:52
from
6:52
them,
6:52
I
6:52
just
6:53
started
6:53
using
6:53
that
6:53
as
6:53
well
6:54
now
6:54
that
6:54
I'm
6:54
separated
6:55
from
6:55
a
6:55
publishing
6:55
company.
6:56
So
6:56
like
6:56
I
6:56
know
6:56
social
6:57
media
6:57
is
6:57
a
6:57
big
6:57
thing.
6:58
Getting
6:58
inside
6:58
stores
6:59
like
6:59
Walmart,
6:59
Target,
7:00
those
7:00
are
7:00
big
7:00
things
7:01
which
7:01
I
7:01
have
7:01
accomplished.
7:02
So
7:02
it's.
7:02
Hey,
7:03
then
7:03
also
7:03
like
7:03
just
7:04
being
7:04
present.
7:04
Like
7:04
when
7:04
it
7:04
comes
7:05
to
7:05
like
7:05
book
7:05
fairs.
7:05
Like,
7:06
I'm
7:06
very
7:07
present
7:07
when
7:07
it
7:07
comes
7:07
to
7:08
book
7:08
fairs.
7:08
I'm
7:08
not
7:08
one
7:09
of
7:09
those
7:09
authors
7:09
to
7:09
jump
7:10
on
7:10
every
7:10
book
7:10
fair
7:10
because
7:11
every
7:11
book
7:11
fair
7:11
does
7:12
not
7:12
have
7:12
the
7:12
same
7:12
outcome.
7:14
I
7:14
don't
7:14
that
7:14
I
7:15
try
7:15
to
7:15
do
7:15
a
7:15
little
7:15
bit
7:15
more
7:15
research
7:16
and.
7:16
But
7:16
I
7:16
also
7:17
understand
7:17
that
7:18
not
7:18
every
7:18
book
7:19
fair
7:19
is
7:19
going
7:19
to
7:19
be
7:20
about
7:20
selling,
7:20
is
7:20
mostly
7:21
about
7:21
networking
7:21
as
7:21
well.
7:22
Okay,
7:23
I
7:24
just
7:24
want
7:24
to
7:24
pick
7:24
up
7:25
on
7:25
that
7:25
for
7:25
a
7:25
moment
7:26
because
7:26
most
7:26
of
7:26
the
7:27
independent
7:28
or
7:28
self
7:28
published
7:29
children's
7:29
book
7:29
authors
7:30
I
7:30
talked
7:30
to
7:31
haven't
7:32
had
7:32
the
7:32
ability
7:33
to
7:33
get
7:33
their
7:33
books
7:34
in
7:34
Walmart
7:34
and
7:35
other
7:35
major
7:35
retailers.
7:36
How
7:37
did
7:37
you
7:37
go
7:37
about
7:37
doing
7:38
that?
7:39
You're
7:39
across
7:39
the
7:39
web
7:39
platform.
7:40
There
7:40
are
7:40
so
7:40
many
7:41
different
7:41
platforms
7:41
to
7:41
do
7:41
it.
7:42
So
7:42
I'm
7:42
one.
7:43
Do
7:43
you
7:43
want
7:43
me
7:43
to
7:43
tell
7:43
you
7:43
right
7:43
now
7:44
on
7:44
this
7:44
podcast?
7:44
Yeah.
7:45
You
7:45
want
7:45
to
7:45
keep
7:45
the
7:46
secret
7:46
for
7:46
later?
7:47
I'm
7:47
going
7:47
to
7:47
tell
7:47
you
7:48
the
7:48
secret
7:48
later.
7:48
Okay.
7:49
But
7:49
no,
7:50
like
7:50
you
7:50
just
7:50
have
7:50
to
7:50
go
7:51
through.
7:51
You're
7:51
a
7:51
part
7:51
of
7:51
a.
7:52
Like,
7:52
for
7:52
example,
7:53
like
7:53
platforms
7:53
like
7:54
Amazon.
7:54
Amazon
7:54
is
7:55
fine.
7:55
They
7:55
help
7:55
you
7:55
like
7:55
printing
7:56
books
7:56
like
7:56
those
7:56
on
7:57
demand
7:57
printers.
7:57
When
7:58
it
7:58
comes
7:58
to
7:58
getting
7:58
your
7:58
books,
7:59
like
7:59
Ingram.
7:59
Ingram
8:00
helps
8:00
when
8:00
it
8:00
comes
8:00
to
8:00
getting
8:00
your
8:01
book
8:01
inside
8:02
stores,
8:02
at
8:03
least
8:03
on
8:03
their
8:03
website.
8:04
And
8:04
then
8:04
it's
8:04
a
8:05
lot
8:05
of
8:05
networking.
8:05
Like
8:05
you
8:05
can
8:06
reach
8:06
out
8:06
to
8:06
those
8:06
companies
8:07
directly,
8:07
at
8:07
least
8:07
I
8:07
know
8:07
I
8:08
did.
8:08
I
8:08
reached
8:08
out
8:08
to
8:08
Walmart
8:09
myself
8:10
and
8:10
tried
8:10
to
8:10
build
8:10
some
8:10
type
8:11
of
8:11
relationship
8:11
when
8:11
it
8:11
came
8:11
to
8:11
them.
8:12
Okay.
8:12
It's
8:12
the
8:13
same
8:13
for
8:13
libraries.
8:13
Like
8:13
you
8:14
have
8:14
to
8:14
reach
8:14
out
8:14
to
8:14
those
8:14
libraries
8:15
and
8:15
build
8:15
some
8:15
type
8:15
of
8:16
rapport.
8:16
Like
8:16
I
8:17
like
8:17
libraries
8:18
will
8:18
reach
8:18
out
8:18
to
8:18
me
8:18
and
8:19
say,
8:19
hey,
8:19
we're
8:20
doing
8:20
an
8:20
African
8:20
American
8:21
black
8:21
history
8:22
book
8:23
fair.
8:23
Can
8:23
you
8:23
come?
8:24
Sure.
8:24
Or
8:24
can
8:24
you
8:24
come
8:25
read
8:25
to
8:25
the
8:25
students
8:25
for
8:26
free?
8:26
Why
8:26
not?
8:26
So
8:27
I
8:27
just
8:27
try
8:27
to
8:27
make
8:27
sure
8:28
that
8:28
I
8:28
put
8:28
myself
8:28
on
8:28
the
8:29
fender
8:29
and
8:29
let
8:29
them
8:29
know
8:29
that
8:30
I'm
8:30
available.
8:30
Even
8:30
when
8:31
it
8:31
comes
8:31
to
8:31
schools.
8:31
Like,
8:32
reaching
8:32
out
8:32
to
8:32
schools
8:33
is
8:33
very
8:34
important.
8:34
But
8:34
also
8:35
as
8:35
an
8:35
author
8:36
who's
8:36
just
8:36
coming
8:36
in,
8:38
you
8:38
have
8:38
to
8:38
understand
8:39
that
8:39
everything
8:40
is
8:40
not
8:40
about
8:40
money.
8:41
So
8:41
like
8:41
you
8:41
can't
8:42
Come
8:42
in
8:42
and
8:42
say,
8:42
hey,
8:42
I'm
8:42
going
8:43
guest
8:43
speaking.
8:43
I
8:43
want
8:43
you
8:43
to
8:44
pay
8:44
me
8:44
$3,000.
8:45
I'm
8:45
going
8:45
to
8:45
pay
8:45
you
8:45
that
8:45
much.
8:46
But
8:46
once
8:46
you
8:47
get
8:47
your
8:47
books
8:47
up
8:47
and
8:47
you
8:48
start
8:48
establishing
8:48
some
8:48
type
8:49
of
8:49
name,
8:49
then
8:49
people
8:49
will
8:49
definitely
8:50
pay
8:50
you
8:50
for
8:50
what
8:50
you're
8:51
worth.
8:51
I
8:52
noticed
8:53
with
8:53
your
8:53
books,
8:54
you
8:54
both
8:54
have
8:55
hardcover
8:56
and
8:56
paperback
8:58
versions,
8:59
and
8:59
some
8:59
of
8:59
you
8:59
and
9:00
a
9:00
few
9:00
of
9:00
your
9:00
books,
9:00
you
9:00
have
9:01
ebook,
9:02
the
9:02
ebook
9:03
format.
9:03
So
9:04
talk
9:04
to
9:04
us
9:04
about
9:04
the
9:05
different
9:05
formats
9:06
and
9:06
how
9:07
you're
9:07
using
9:08
those.
9:09
Ebook.
9:10
I
9:10
have
9:10
the
9:10
ebook,
9:11
which
9:11
is
9:12
Ibook,
9:13
which
9:13
is
9:13
a
9:14
part
9:14
of
9:14
Apple.
9:14
Yeah.
9:15
I
9:15
have
9:17
Amazon,
9:17
ebook,
9:18
Kindle.
9:18
And
9:19
then
9:19
I
9:19
have
9:19
the
9:19
hardback
9:20
and
9:20
the
9:20
paperback.
9:20
I
9:21
typically
9:22
prefer
9:22
the
9:23
hardback
9:23
because
9:23
they
9:23
last
9:24
longer.
9:24
Hardback
9:25
is
9:25
a
9:25
little
9:25
bit
9:25
more
9:25
expensive
9:26
than
9:26
paperback.
9:27
So
9:27
I
9:27
give
9:27
my
9:27
readers,
9:28
like
9:28
the
9:28
option,
9:28
especially
9:29
when
9:29
I'm
9:29
going
9:29
out
9:29
to
9:29
my
9:29
fairs
9:30
to
9:30
give
9:30
them
9:30
the
9:30
option
9:30
to
9:31
say,
9:31
hey,
9:31
this
9:31
is
9:31
what
9:31
this
9:32
calls.
9:32
But
9:32
I
9:32
also
9:32
have
9:32
this
9:33
as
9:33
well.
9:33
So
9:34
it
9:34
gives
9:34
them
9:34
the
9:34
option
9:34
to
9:35
buy
9:35
what
9:35
they
9:35
can
9:35
afford.
9:35
And
9:36
ultimately
9:36
still
9:36
me
9:37
they'll
9:37
be
9:37
able
9:37
to
9:37
make
9:37
myself.
9:38
So
9:39
are
9:39
with
9:39
the
9:40
hardcover
9:41
running
9:41
a
9:41
large
9:42
quantity
9:43
to
9:43
get
9:43
the
9:43
price
9:44
down.
9:45
So
9:45
I
9:46
buy
9:46
more
9:46
of
9:47
paperback.
9:48
Okay.
9:49
And
9:49
that's
9:50
over
9:50
the
9:50
years.
9:51
And
9:51
that's
9:52
only
9:52
because
9:52
over
9:52
the
9:52
years,
9:53
paperback
9:53
is
9:54
always
9:54
cheaper.
9:54
I
9:54
just
9:55
want
9:56
$2.
9:57
But
9:57
hardback
9:58
books
9:58
have
9:59
gone
9:59
up
9:59
to
9:59
$10
10:00
a
10:00
book.
10:00
So
10:01
it's
10:01
like
10:01
you,
10:01
you
10:02
don't
10:02
want
10:02
to
10:02
buy
10:02
so
10:03
much.
10:03
I
10:03
don't
10:03
buy
10:04
large
10:04
quantities
10:04
of
10:05
hardback
10:05
because
10:06
there's
10:06
a
10:06
chance
10:06
that
10:06
it
10:06
may
10:07
not
10:07
fail.
10:07
Now
10:08
you're
10:08
just
10:08
in
10:09
so
10:09
much
10:09
inventory.
10:09
So
10:09
I
10:10
don't
10:10
put
10:10
myself
10:10
in
10:10
that
10:11
situation.
10:11
So
10:12
what
10:12
I
10:12
do,
10:12
if
10:12
I
10:12
go
10:12
out
10:12
to
10:13
fairs,
10:13
I'll
10:14
order
10:14
the
10:14
hardback
10:14
stand
10:15
maybe
10:15
like
10:15
a
10:15
couple
10:16
of
10:16
weeks
10:16
before,
10:16
so
10:17
I
10:17
may
10:17
order
10:17
50
10:18
copies
10:18
of
10:18
it
10:19
and
10:19
then
10:19
the
10:20
rest,
10:20
if
10:20
I
10:20
run
10:20
out
10:20
of
10:20
hardbacks.
10:21
Now
10:21
I'm
10:21
just
10:21
selling
10:21
the
10:21
softback.
10:22
Yeah,
10:22
it's
10:23
good
10:23
to
10:23
know
10:23
because,
10:23
so
10:24
I've
10:24
noticed
10:25
some
10:25
people
10:25
will.
10:27
They'll
10:27
print.
10:27
They
10:28
do
10:28
a
10:28
lot
10:28
of
10:28
print
10:28
on
10:29
demand.
10:29
That's
10:29
what
10:29
it
10:29
sounds
10:30
like
10:30
you're
10:30
doing.
10:30
And
10:31
then
10:31
I've
10:31
heard
10:32
other
10:32
people
10:32
tell
10:32
me
10:33
that
10:33
they
10:34
ordered
10:35
offshore,
10:35
like
10:35
through
10:36
China,
10:37
where
10:37
they
10:37
can
10:37
get
10:38
hardcover
10:38
for
10:39
a
10:39
lot
10:39
cheaper.
10:40
So
10:40
I've
10:40
definitely
10:41
heard
10:41
of
10:41
all
10:41
kinds
10:41
of
10:42
different
10:42
versions.
10:42
But
10:43
I
10:43
guess
10:43
if
10:44
you're
10:44
able
10:44
to
10:44
get
10:44
hardback
10:45
printed
10:46
for
10:46
$10,
10:47
you
10:47
could
10:47
probably
10:48
sell
10:48
them
10:48
for
10:49
under
10:49
20,
10:50
1999
10:51
or
10:51
something
10:51
like
10:51
that.
10:52
Yeah,
10:52
something
10:52
like
10:52
that.
10:53
I
10:53
haven't
10:53
tried
10:54
the,
10:54
the
10:54
overseas
10:54
purchasing
10:55
yet
10:55
because
10:56
I'm
10:56
kind
10:56
of.
10:57
We
10:57
don't
10:57
really
10:57
know
10:58
the
10:58
paper
10:58
quality
10:58
you
10:58
don't
10:59
already
10:59
know.
10:59
And
10:59
it's
10:59
like
10:59
you're
11:00
taking
11:00
a
11:00
risk.
11:00
And
11:00
then
11:00
also
11:01
like
11:01
you're
11:01
saying
11:01
you
11:02
buying
11:02
big
11:02
books.
11:02
So
11:03
what
11:03
if
11:03
I
11:03
buy
11:04
a
11:04
large
11:04
quantity
11:05
of
11:05
hardback
11:05
books
11:06
and
11:06
then
11:06
I
11:06
don't
11:06
like
11:06
the
11:06
quality
11:07
of
11:07
the
11:07
paper,
11:07
I
11:08
don't
11:08
like
11:08
the
11:08
thing,
11:08
so
11:09
now
11:09
I'm
11:09
stuck
11:09
with
11:09
it.
11:09
So
11:09
I
11:09
don't
11:10
normally
11:10
put
11:10
myself
11:10
in
11:10
that
11:11
type
11:11
of
11:11
situation,
11:11
at
11:11
least
11:11
with
11:12
companies
11:12
like
11:12
Ingram.
11:13
And
11:13
I
11:13
want
11:13
to
11:13
say
11:13
this
11:14
other
11:14
company
11:14
is.
11:16
I
11:17
can't
11:17
even
11:17
think
11:17
of.
11:17
I
11:18
can't
11:18
even
11:18
think
11:18
of
11:18
the
11:18
company.
11:18
But
11:18
it's
11:19
another
11:19
company.
11:19
Those
11:19
front
11:19
demand
11:20
companies,
11:20
at
11:20
least
11:20
with
11:21
them,
11:21
if
11:21
you
11:21
don't
11:21
like
11:21
the
11:22
quality
11:22
of
11:22
the
11:22
paper,
11:22
you
11:23
can
11:23
return
11:23
it.
11:24
You
11:24
could
11:24
email
11:24
them
11:25
like,
11:25
hey,
11:25
I
11:25
don't
11:25
like
11:25
it.
11:25
And
11:26
then
11:26
they'll
11:26
try
11:26
to
11:26
address
11:26
it.
11:27
I
11:27
don't
11:27
know
11:27
how
11:27
it
11:27
is
11:28
overseas,
11:28
but
11:28
I
11:28
also
11:28
don't
11:29
want
11:29
to
11:29
take
11:29
that
11:29
risk.
11:29
Sure,
11:30
for
11:30
sure.
11:31
Okay.
11:31
And
11:32
so
11:33
now
11:33
you
11:33
said
11:33
you
11:34
moved
11:34
away
11:34
from
11:35
traditional
11:36
publishing
11:36
or
11:36
self
11:37
publishing
11:37
to
11:38
indie
11:38
publishing
11:39
because
11:39
I
11:39
noticed
11:39
that
11:40
you
11:40
have
11:40
your
11:41
daughters
11:41
and
11:42
your
11:42
name
11:43
in
11:43
your
11:44
publishing
11:44
company's
11:45
name.
11:45
So
11:46
tell
11:46
us
11:46
a
11:46
little
11:47
bit
11:47
about
11:47
your
11:48
indie
11:48
book
11:49
publishing
11:49
company.
11:50
So
11:50
I
11:51
have
11:51
a
11:51
publishing
11:51
company
11:51
called
11:52
Davidson
11:52
Great
11:52
Publishing,
11:53
which
11:53
is
11:53
me
11:54
and
11:54
my
11:54
daughter
11:54
and
11:55
all
11:56
our
11:56
books
11:56
outside
11:57
of
11:57
my
11:57
very
11:57
first
11:57
book.
11:58
My
11:58
very
11:58
first
11:58
book
11:59
was
11:59
published
11:59
under
11:59
Simon
12:00
and
12:00
Schustner's
12:01
self
12:01
publishing
12:02
company
12:02
called
12:04
Archway
12:05
Publishing.
12:05
They're
12:06
a
12:06
self
12:06
publishing
12:06
company
12:06
for
12:06
Simon
12:07
Schustner.
12:08
And
12:09
honestly,
12:09
like
12:09
when
12:09
I
12:10
first
12:10
started
12:10
doing
12:10
it,
12:10
when
12:11
I
12:11
went
12:11
through
12:11
them,
12:11
I
12:11
was
12:11
like,
12:12
oh,
12:12
I
12:12
learned
12:12
a
12:12
lot,
12:12
but
12:13
I
12:13
spent
12:13
a
12:13
lot
12:13
of
12:13
money.
12:14
So
12:14
then
12:14
I
12:15
took
12:15
one.
12:15
I
12:15
could
12:15
do
12:15
this
12:15
stuff
12:16
myself
12:16
and
12:16
then
12:17
not
12:17
have
12:17
to
12:17
spend
12:17
all
12:18
that
12:18
money.
12:18
So
12:18
that's
12:18
when
12:19
Davis
12:19
and
12:19
Grit
12:19
Publishing
12:20
came
12:20
about.
12:20
Good
12:21
for
12:21
you.
12:21
So
12:21
if
12:22
you
12:22
look
12:22
at
12:22
all
12:22
my
12:22
books
12:23
are
12:23
published
12:24
under
12:24
me.
12:24
Nice.
12:25
Nice.
12:25
And
12:25
you
12:26
know
12:26
what,
12:26
just
12:26
so
12:26
you
12:27
know,
12:28
we
12:28
actually
12:28
have
12:29
published
12:29
under
12:29
our
12:30
own
12:30
indie
12:31
publishing
12:31
company
12:32
also.
12:32
We
12:32
call
12:33
ours
12:33
Caboose,
12:34
the
12:34
Rocky
12:34
Mountain
12:35
Bear
12:35
Publishing
12:35
Den,
12:36
Inc.
12:37
So,
12:37
yeah,
12:38
it's
12:38
fun
12:38
and
12:39
it
12:39
takes
12:39
a
12:39
while
12:40
to
12:40
learn
12:40
the
12:40
skill
12:41
and
12:41
all
12:41
that
12:42
kind
12:42
of
12:42
good
12:42
stuff.
12:42
But
12:43
now
12:43
we're
12:44
publishing
12:44
our
12:44
second
12:45
book
12:45
under
12:45
our
12:46
own
12:46
banner,
12:46
so
12:46
that's
12:47
neat.
12:48
I
12:48
noticed
12:48
also
12:50
that
12:52
you
12:52
don't
12:52
have
12:52
an
12:53
illustrator's
12:54
name
12:55
on
12:55
your
12:55
book.
12:56
So
12:56
talk
12:56
to
12:57
us
12:57
about
12:57
the
12:57
illustrations.
12:58
How
12:58
does
12:58
that
12:59
all
12:59
come
12:59
to
12:59
be?
13:00
I
13:01
do
13:01
all
13:01
my
13:01
own
13:01
illustration.
13:02
Do
13:03
you?
13:03
I
13:04
do
13:04
all
13:04
my
13:04
own
13:04
illustrations.
13:05
Oh,
13:05
you're
13:05
very
13:05
talented.
13:06
Wow.
13:06
All
13:07
my
13:07
illustrators
13:07
belong
13:08
to
13:08
me.
13:08
I
13:08
do
13:08
my
13:08
own
13:09
all
13:09
My
13:09
own
13:10
illustrations.
13:10
So
13:11
why
13:11
don't
13:11
you
13:11
give
13:11
yourself
13:12
credit
13:12
for
13:13
the
13:13
illustrations?
13:16
I
13:16
don't
13:16
know.
13:16
I
13:16
think
13:16
I
13:17
just
13:17
focus
13:17
so
13:17
much
13:18
on
13:19
the
13:20
book
13:20
as
13:20
the
13:20
whole
13:20
author
13:21
that
13:21
I
13:21
don't
13:22
even
13:22
really
13:22
focus
13:22
on
13:23
the
13:23
illustration
13:23
because
13:23
I'm
13:24
like
13:24
my.
13:25
I
13:25
gotta
13:25
tell
13:25
you,
13:26
you're
13:26
very
13:26
talented
13:27
and
13:28
I
13:28
would,
13:28
if
13:29
I
13:29
had
13:29
your
13:29
talent,
13:29
I
13:30
would
13:30
definitely
13:30
give
13:31
myself
13:31
credit
13:32
as
13:32
the
13:32
illustrator
13:33
also.
13:33
That's
13:33
just
13:34
my
13:34
opinion,
13:34
but
13:35
good
13:35
for
13:35
you.
13:36
Yeah.
13:36
Thank
13:37
you.
13:37
Which
13:37
do
13:37
you
13:38
enjoy
13:38
more,
13:38
the
13:39
children's
13:40
book
13:40
writing
13:41
or
13:41
the
13:41
illustrations?
13:43
I
13:43
think
13:43
both.
13:44
Okay.
13:45
This
13:45
is
13:45
both.
13:46
And
13:46
I'm
13:46
going
13:46
to
13:46
say
13:46
why?
13:47
Because
13:48
the
13:48
illustrations
13:49
is
13:49
what
13:50
makes
13:50
the
13:50
book.
13:51
Absolutely.
13:52
I
13:52
couldn't
13:52
agree
13:52
with
13:52
you
13:53
more.
13:53
It's
13:53
what
13:54
makes
13:54
the
13:54
book
13:54
like,
13:55
I
13:55
have
13:55
a
13:55
book
13:55
coming
13:55
out,
13:56
I
13:56
want
13:56
to
13:56
say,
13:58
in
13:59
September.
13:59
I
14:00
have
14:00
a
14:00
book
14:00
coming
14:00
out.
14:01
And
14:01
with
14:01
this
14:01
book
14:01
have
14:02
been
14:02
probably
14:02
the
14:03
most,
14:03
longest,
14:05
painful
14:05
book
14:05
I
14:06
have
14:06
ever
14:06
accepted
14:07
with
14:07
illustration.
14:08
Wow.
14:08
Okay.
14:09
Only
14:09
because
14:10
it's
14:10
a
14:10
lot
14:10
of
14:11
dialogue.
14:11
And
14:12
to
14:12
someone
14:13
who
14:13
just
14:13
getting
14:13
into
14:14
the
14:14
art,
14:14
just
14:15
getting
14:15
into
14:15
the
14:15
writing
14:16
world,
14:16
okay,
14:16
the
14:16
illustrations
14:17
are
14:17
nice,
14:17
but
14:17
someone
14:17
like
14:18
me,
14:18
who
14:18
has
14:18
been
14:18
doing
14:18
it
14:18
for
14:19
a
14:19
while,
14:19
I
14:19
know.
14:19
No,
14:20
it's
14:20
not
14:20
nice.
14:20
Like,
14:20
it's
14:21
going
14:21
to
14:21
be
14:21
bunched
14:21
up.
14:22
It's
14:22
not
14:22
going
14:22
to
14:22
look
14:22
right.
14:22
Like
14:22
everything
14:23
have
14:23
to
14:23
pop
14:23
to
14:24
make
14:24
my
14:24
book
14:24
come
14:24
to
14:24
life.
14:25
Right.
14:25
Yeah.
14:26
And
14:27
is
14:27
it.
14:28
And
14:28
you
14:29
know
14:29
what?
14:29
It
14:29
could
14:29
be
14:29
both.
14:30
But
14:30
is
14:30
it
14:30
the
14:31
words
14:31
that
14:31
come
14:31
to
14:32
you
14:32
first
14:32
or
14:33
the
14:33
illustrations,
14:34
or
14:34
is
14:34
it
14:34
a
14:34
combination?
14:36
It's
14:36
the
14:37
words.
14:37
It's
14:38
the
14:38
words
14:38
that
14:38
come
14:38
first
14:39
and
14:39
then
14:39
the
14:40
illustrations.
14:40
And
14:40
then
14:40
once
14:41
I
14:41
see
14:41
the
14:41
illustrations,
14:42
you
14:42
have
14:42
to
14:42
change
14:42
the
14:42
words.
14:43
I
14:43
don't
14:43
know
14:43
about
14:43
these
14:43
words.
14:45
That's
14:45
fantastic.
14:47
Good
14:47
for
14:47
you.
14:48
Wow,
14:48
that's
14:49
incredible.
14:50
And
14:52
I'm
14:52
also
14:53
interested
14:54
in
14:54
your
14:54
website.
14:54
Like,
14:55
I
14:55
pulled
14:55
your
14:55
website
14:56
up
14:56
and
14:57
so
14:58
it's.
14:58
Talk
14:59
to
14:59
us
14:59
about
14:59
your
14:59
website.
15:00
How
15:00
did
15:00
you
15:00
develop
15:01
your
15:01
website?
15:03
So
15:05
my
15:05
website
15:05
came
15:06
about.
15:07
Every
15:07
author
15:08
needs
15:08
a
15:08
website.
15:09
I
15:09
learned
15:09
that
15:10
at
15:10
my
15:10
first
15:10
part
15:10
of
15:11
my
15:11
first
15:11
book
15:11
fair.
15:11
Every
15:11
author
15:12
needs
15:12
a
15:12
website.
15:12
So
15:13
I
15:13
just
15:13
went
15:13
and
15:13
I
15:13
just
15:14
created
15:14
me
15:14
a
15:14
website
15:15
just
15:15
to
15:15
help
15:15
me
15:15
gain
15:15
more
15:16
recognitions
15:16
and
15:16
to
15:16
help
15:17
my
15:17
readers
15:17
get
15:18
and
15:18
be
15:18
able
15:18
to
15:18
see
15:19
what's
15:19
going
15:19
on
15:19
with
15:19
me
15:20
and
15:20
actually
15:20
just
15:21
know
15:21
where
15:22
I'm
15:22
going
15:22
to
15:22
be
15:22
or
15:23
when
15:23
I'm
15:23
going
15:23
to
15:23
be
15:23
there
15:23
and
15:24
just
15:24
be
15:24
able
15:24
to
15:24
keep
15:25
some
15:25
type
15:25
of
15:25
tab
15:25
on
15:25
me.
15:26
Okay.
15:27
Have
15:27
a
15:27
main
15:27
point
15:28
of
15:28
contact
15:28
to
15:28
purchase
15:29
my
15:29
books
15:29
without
15:30
always
15:30
having
15:30
to
15:30
reach
15:31
out
15:31
to
15:31
me
15:31
via.
15:32
Via
15:33
social
15:33
media
15:33
or
15:34
emailing
15:34
me
15:34
or
15:34
going
15:35
through
15:36
a
15:36
book
15:36
fair
15:36
or
15:37
going
15:37
through
15:38
Amazon
15:39
just
15:39
to
15:39
Eliminated
15:40
the
15:40
third
15:40
party,
15:41
in
15:41
a
15:41
sense
15:41
and
15:41
just
15:41
gave
15:42
it
15:42
to
15:42
come
15:42
directly
15:42
to
15:42
me.
15:43
I
15:43
noticed
15:43
a
15:43
couple
15:44
of
15:44
neat
15:44
things
15:44
that
15:44
you
15:45
do
15:45
the
15:46
first
15:46
one,
15:46
and
15:47
I've
15:47
never
15:47
seen
15:47
a
15:48
children's
15:48
book
15:48
author
15:49
do
15:49
this.
15:49
So
15:50
again,
15:50
we're
15:50
trying
15:51
to
15:51
help
15:51
aspiring
15:52
children's
15:52
book
15:52
authors.
15:53
I
15:53
noticed
15:54
that
15:55
you
15:55
have
15:56
an
15:56
area
15:57
where
15:57
people
15:58
can
15:58
actually
15:58
log
15:59
in.
16:00
And
16:00
I
16:00
was
16:00
thinking,
16:01
okay,
16:01
so
16:01
why
16:02
a
16:02
login
16:03
feature
16:03
and
16:04
what's
16:04
the
16:04
advantage
16:04
to
16:05
having
16:05
a
16:05
login
16:06
feature?
16:07
So
16:07
the
16:08
login
16:08
feature
16:08
is
16:08
basically
16:09
you're
16:09
joining
16:09
like
16:09
my
16:09
little
16:10
community.
16:10
What
16:11
do
16:11
we
16:11
get
16:11
from
16:11
your
16:11
community?
16:12
If
16:12
I
16:12
joined
16:13
your
16:13
community,
16:13
what
16:13
am
16:14
I
16:14
getting
16:14
extra
16:15
that
16:15
I
16:15
don't
16:16
see
16:16
on
16:16
your
16:16
website?
16:17
So
16:18
you're
16:18
going
16:18
to
16:18
be
16:18
able
16:18
to
16:18
get
16:19
updates
16:19
there
16:20
before
16:20
I
16:20
even
16:20
post
16:21
them
16:21
online.
16:22
You're
16:22
going
16:22
to
16:22
be
16:23
know
16:23
what
16:23
fears
16:23
I'm
16:24
going
16:24
to
16:24
be
16:24
at
16:24
before
16:24
I
16:24
even
16:25
make
16:25
them
16:26
public.
16:26
Like,
16:26
I
16:26
have
16:26
a
16:27
fear
16:27
that
16:27
I'm
16:27
supposed
16:27
to
16:27
be
16:27
attending
16:28
in
16:28
a
16:28
couple
16:28
weeks.
16:28
I
16:28
haven't
16:29
even
16:29
announced
16:29
it
16:29
yet.
16:29
I
16:30
actually
16:30
am
16:30
supposed
16:31
to
16:31
post
16:31
it
16:31
on
16:31
the
16:32
website,
16:32
not
16:32
on
16:33
the
16:33
website.
16:33
I'm
16:34
supposed
16:34
to
16:34
add
16:34
it
16:34
to
16:34
the
16:35
community
16:35
in
16:35
a
16:36
couple
16:36
days.
16:36
Okay.
16:37
Just
16:37
wait
16:37
for
16:37
the
16:37
marketing
16:37
material
16:38
to
16:38
come
16:38
out,
16:38
to
16:38
be
16:38
honest,
16:39
before
16:39
I
16:39
add
16:39
it
16:39
to
16:39
the
16:39
web,
16:40
before
16:40
I
16:40
start
16:40
pushing
16:41
it
16:41
out.
16:41
And
16:42
you're
16:42
able
16:42
to
16:43
basically
16:43
just
16:44
know
16:44
what's
16:44
going
16:44
on
16:45
with
16:45
me
16:45
before
16:45
everyone
16:45
else
16:46
is.
16:46
You're
16:46
able
16:46
to
16:46
know
16:46
when
16:46
books
16:47
are
16:47
coming
16:47
out.
16:47
You're
16:47
able
16:47
to
16:47
see
16:47
and
16:48
track
16:48
your
16:48
orders
16:48
a
16:48
little
16:48
bit
16:48
better
16:49
and
16:49
have
16:49
a
16:50
better
16:50
direct
16:50
contact
16:51
with
16:51
me.
16:52
Good
16:52
for
16:52
you.
16:52
That's
16:53
a
16:53
great
16:54
idea.
16:55
I've
16:55
just
16:55
never
16:55
seen
16:56
it
16:56
before.
16:56
So
16:56
thank
16:57
you
16:57
for
16:57
sharing
16:57
that.
16:58
I
16:58
also
16:59
noticed
17:00
on
17:00
your
17:00
website
17:00
because
17:01
I
17:01
always
17:02
trying
17:02
to
17:03
find,
17:03
you
17:03
know
17:04
what,
17:04
being
17:04
a
17:04
children's
17:05
book
17:05
author
17:05
and
17:06
trying
17:06
to
17:06
build
17:07
a
17:07
business
17:07
is
17:08
not
17:08
for
17:08
the
17:08
faint
17:08
of
17:09
heart.
17:09
Because
17:10
the
17:10
average
17:10
children's
17:11
book
17:11
author
17:12
sells
17:12
between
17:13
100
17:13
and
17:13
500
17:14
copies
17:15
over
17:15
the
17:15
whole
17:16
lifetime
17:16
of
17:16
the
17:17
book.
17:17
So
17:18
I
17:18
always
17:19
am
17:19
curious
17:19
on
17:20
how
17:20
people
17:21
support
17:22
themselves
17:22
as
17:23
a
17:23
children's
17:23
book
17:23
author.
17:24
And
17:24
I
17:24
noticed
17:25
you
17:25
offer
17:26
guest
17:26
speaking,
17:27
meet
17:28
and
17:28
greet
17:28
and
17:29
children's
17:29
book
17:29
reading.
17:30
So
17:30
tell
17:30
us
17:30
about
17:31
those
17:31
services
17:32
and
17:33
is
17:33
that
17:33
a
17:34
big
17:34
part
17:34
of
17:34
your
17:35
revenue
17:35
or.
17:37
So?
17:39
A
17:39
big
17:39
part
17:40
of
17:40
my
17:40
revenue
17:40
when
17:40
it
17:41
comes
17:41
to
17:41
books
17:42
writing
17:43
comes
17:44
from
17:44
my
17:44
fares.
17:45
It
17:45
comes
17:45
from
17:45
my
17:45
book
17:45
fairs.
17:47
Now
17:47
when
17:47
you,
17:47
when
17:47
I'm
17:48
doing
17:48
like
17:48
my
17:48
guest
17:48
speaking,
17:49
of
17:49
course
17:49
those
17:50
payments
17:50
are
17:50
more.
17:50
Because
17:51
I'm
17:51
there
17:51
for
17:51
a
17:51
longer
17:52
amount
17:52
of
17:52
time
17:52
and
17:53
then
17:53
you
17:53
get
17:53
to
17:53
ask
17:53
me
17:53
more
17:54
questions
17:55
and
17:55
it's
17:55
a
17:55
larger
17:55
crowd,
17:56
but
17:56
a
17:57
lot
17:57
of
17:57
it
17:57
comes
17:58
from
17:58
my
17:59
book
17:59
fairs
17:59
as
18:00
a.
18:00
Percentage,
18:01
what
18:01
would
18:01
guest
18:01
speaking,
18:02
meet
18:02
and
18:02
greet,
18:02
and
18:03
children's
18:03
book
18:03
readings
18:05
as
18:05
a
18:05
percentage
18:06
of
18:06
your
18:06
revenue?
18:07
What
18:07
would
18:07
that
18:07
represent?
18:09
Oh,
18:09
you
18:10
want
18:10
to
18:10
know
18:10
everything.
18:11
Well,
18:12
you
18:12
know
18:12
what?
18:12
I
18:12
tried
18:13
to
18:13
help
18:13
other
18:13
aspiring
18:14
book
18:14
authors
18:14
understand
18:15
that
18:15
generally
18:17
you've
18:17
got
18:17
multiple
18:18
titles,
18:19
a
18:19
little
18:19
different
18:20
story,
18:20
but
18:20
when
18:20
you
18:21
have
18:21
one
18:21
or
18:21
two
18:21
titles,
18:23
in
18:23
most
18:23
cases
18:23
isn't
18:24
bringing
18:24
enough
18:25
revenue
18:25
to
18:26
support
18:27
yourself.
18:27
So
18:28
that's
18:28
why
18:28
I'm
18:28
curious.
18:31
So
18:31
the
18:31
percentage
18:32
varies?
18:32
The
18:33
percentage
18:33
varies,
18:34
to
18:34
be
18:34
honest,
18:34
transparent.
18:35
It
18:35
varies
18:36
based
18:36
on
18:37
just
18:37
my
18:37
schedule.
18:38
It
18:38
based
18:38
on
18:38
if
18:38
I
18:38
have
18:39
more
18:39
book
18:39
fairs
18:40
versus
18:41
meet
18:41
and
18:41
greets
18:41
or
18:42
if
18:42
I
18:42
have
18:42
more
18:42
meet
18:42
and
18:42
greets
18:43
versus
18:43
book
18:43
fairs
18:44
coming
18:44
up.
18:44
It
18:44
just
18:44
ultimately
18:45
just
18:45
varies
18:45
based
18:46
on
18:46
how
18:47
the
18:47
year
18:47
is
18:47
going
18:48
or
18:48
how
18:48
the.
18:49
When
18:49
it
18:49
comes
18:49
to
18:49
being
18:49
a
18:49
writer.
18:50
When
18:50
it
18:50
comes
18:50
to
18:50
payment,
18:51
payments
18:51
are
18:52
in
18:52
every
18:52
three
18:52
months.
18:53
So
18:53
it
18:53
comes
18:54
based
18:54
on.
18:55
Just
18:55
on
18:55
how
18:55
I
18:56
have
18:56
it
18:57
set
18:57
up.
18:57
Okay,
18:58
and
18:58
so
18:58
in
18:59
terms
18:59
of
18:59
the
18:59
book
18:59
fairs,
19:01
you
19:01
would
19:01
be
19:01
handling
19:02
the
19:02
revenue
19:03
directly.
19:03
Would
19:04
you
19:04
be
19:04
selling
19:04
there
19:05
and
19:05
using
19:05
something
19:06
like
19:06
square
19:07
to
19:07
sell
19:08
your
19:08
books?
19:09
Correct.
19:09
Okay,
19:10
and
19:10
so
19:11
it's
19:11
a
19:11
more
19:11
immediate
19:12
revenue.
19:13
Correct.
19:14
And
19:14
is
19:14
that
19:15
one
19:15
of
19:15
the
19:15
reasons
19:15
you
19:15
focus
19:16
on
19:16
book
19:16
fairs?
19:17
I
19:18
don't
19:18
really
19:18
just
19:18
focus
19:18
on
19:19
book
19:19
fairs
19:19
for
19:19
the
19:19
revenue.
19:20
When
19:20
I
19:20
first
19:20
started,
19:20
it
19:21
was
19:21
like,
19:21
hey,
19:21
I
19:22
wanted
19:22
to
19:22
focus
19:22
on
19:22
it
19:22
because
19:23
I
19:23
want
19:23
to
19:23
sell
19:23
books,
19:23
which
19:23
is
19:24
what
19:24
any
19:24
author
19:24
wants
19:25
to
19:25
do.
19:25
But
19:25
I
19:26
feel
19:26
like
19:26
now
19:26
I
19:26
want
19:27
to
19:27
say
19:27
I'm
19:27
still
19:28
going
19:28
to
19:28
sell
19:28
books,
19:28
but
19:29
I
19:29
also
19:29
want
19:29
to
19:31
my
19:31
name
19:31
to
19:31
be
19:31
known
19:31
more
19:32
like
19:32
I
19:32
want
19:32
to
19:33
when
19:33
I
19:33
go
19:33
to
19:33
these
19:33
events,
19:34
like,
19:34
they're
19:34
like,
19:34
oh,
19:35
that's
19:35
Chrishana.
19:35
Hey,
19:36
Chrishana.
19:36
Oh,
19:36
hi.
19:37
Can
19:37
I
19:37
have
19:37
your
19:37
autograph?
19:38
Yeah,
19:38
you
19:38
can.
19:38
Things
19:39
of
19:39
that
19:39
nature.
19:39
So
19:39
I
19:40
think
19:40
I
19:40
have
19:40
surpassed
19:41
the
19:41
part
19:41
of
19:41
it
19:41
just
19:41
being
19:41
it
19:42
for
19:42
the
19:42
money,
19:42
but
19:42
more
19:42
so,
19:43
hey,
19:43
like
19:43
when
19:44
I
19:44
walk
19:44
in
19:44
a
19:44
room,
19:44
I
19:45
want
19:45
my
19:45
books
19:45
to
19:45
sell
19:45
for
19:45
themselves
19:46
because
19:46
they
19:46
like,
19:46
oh,
19:47
yeah,
19:47
she
19:47
write
19:47
great
19:47
books.
19:48
Okay,
19:49
so,
19:49
Chrishana,
19:49
tell
19:50
us
19:50
about.
19:51
So
19:51
the
19:51
book
19:51
fairs
19:52
themselves.
19:53
How
19:53
do
19:53
you
19:53
get
19:53
an
19:54
invitation
19:54
to
19:54
the
19:55
book
19:55
fairs
19:55
or
19:56
how
19:56
did
19:56
you
19:56
go
19:56
about
19:57
utilizing
19:58
that
19:58
as
19:58
a
19:58
tool
19:59
to
19:59
get
19:59
yourself
20:00
recognized?
20:01
So
20:01
it
20:02
depends
20:02
on
20:02
every
20:02
book
20:02
fair
20:03
does
20:03
not
20:03
require
20:03
amortization.
20:04
So
20:04
it
20:04
depends
20:05
on
20:05
what
20:05
book
20:05
fair
20:05
you're
20:06
attending.
20:06
For
20:06
example,
20:07
you
20:07
just
20:07
have
20:07
to
20:07
know.
20:09
You
20:09
have
20:09
to
20:09
pick
20:10
the
20:10
book
20:10
fairs
20:11
that
20:11
align
20:11
with
20:11
what
20:12
it
20:12
is
20:12
that
20:12
you're
20:12
trying
20:13
to
20:13
do.
20:13
For
20:13
example,
20:14
ala.
20:15
Do
20:15
you
20:16
know
20:16
what
20:16
ALA
20:16
is?
20:16
No,
20:17
I'm
20:17
sorry,
20:17
I
20:17
don't.
20:18
The
20:18
annual
20:18
library
20:19
association,
20:19
it's
20:20
not
20:20
the
20:20
biggest
20:20
book
20:20
fairs,
20:21
but
20:21
you
20:22
can
20:22
buy
20:22
Your
20:22
way
20:22
into
20:23
that
20:23
book
20:23
fair.
20:23
That
20:24
book
20:24
fair,
20:24
I
20:24
want
20:24
to
20:24
say,
20:24
is
20:25
like
20:25
$2,500
20:26
or
20:26
something
20:26
like
20:26
that,
20:27
which
20:27
is
20:27
a
20:27
lot
20:28
for
20:28
a
20:29
new
20:29
author.
20:29
However
20:30
the
20:30
case
20:30
may
20:30
be,
20:31
you
20:31
have
20:31
to
20:31
look
20:31
at
20:31
it
20:32
like
20:32
this
20:33
is
20:33
an
20:33
investment
20:33
because
20:33
it's
20:34
not
20:34
just
20:34
a
20:34
regular
20:34
book
20:34
fair.
20:35
This
20:35
is.
20:35
I
20:35
think
20:35
this
20:36
event
20:36
lasts
20:37
five
20:37
days.
20:38
Okay.
20:38
Wow.
20:39
And
20:39
then
20:39
also,
20:40
this
20:40
isn't
20:40
time
20:41
like
20:41
this,
20:41
when
20:41
I
20:41
said
20:42
that
20:42
everything
20:42
isn't
20:42
always
20:43
about
20:43
you
20:43
making
20:43
revenue.
20:44
You
20:44
want
20:44
to
20:44
make
20:44
money
20:45
once
20:45
you
20:45
just
20:45
fund
20:45
2,500.
20:46
But
20:47
for
20:47
when
20:47
it
20:47
comes
20:47
to
20:47
ALA
20:48
is
20:48
one
20:48
of
20:48
those
20:48
events
20:49
where
20:49
you
20:49
are
20:51
networking
20:51
because
20:52
you
20:52
have
20:52
every
20:52
big
20:53
publishing
20:53
house
20:53
in
20:53
there.
20:54
You
20:54
have.
20:54
You
20:54
have
20:54
Simon
20:55
Schustner,
20:55
you
20:55
have
20:56
Roundhouse,
20:56
you
20:56
have
20:57
Penguin,
20:57
you
20:57
have
20:58
everyone
20:58
in
20:58
there.
20:59
Okay.
20:59
It's
20:59
competitive
21:00
because
21:00
you
21:01
do
21:01
have
21:01
those
21:01
readers
21:02
who
21:02
are
21:02
walking
21:02
around
21:03
getting
21:03
free
21:03
books,
21:04
which
21:04
are
21:04
getting
21:04
from
21:04
the
21:04
big
21:05
publishing
21:05
houses.
21:06
But
21:06
then
21:06
you
21:06
know
21:06
that
21:06
you
21:07
also
21:07
have
21:07
those
21:07
who
21:08
are
21:08
coming
21:08
over
21:08
there
21:08
to
21:09
the
21:09
smaller
21:09
authors
21:10
and
21:10
are
21:10
like,
21:10
hey,
21:11
I
21:11
want
21:11
to
21:11
see
21:11
what
21:11
you
21:11
got
21:11
going
21:11
on.
21:12
Okay.
21:12
And
21:12
they'll
21:12
purchase
21:13
your
21:13
books.
21:13
And
21:13
then
21:13
you
21:13
also
21:13
have
21:14
the
21:14
panels
21:15
that
21:15
you
21:15
can
21:15
buy
21:16
your.
21:16
I
21:16
want
21:16
to
21:16
say
21:17
you
21:17
can
21:17
buy
21:17
your
21:17
way
21:17
into
21:17
the
21:18
other
21:18
one
21:18
at
21:18
ala,
21:19
or
21:19
you
21:19
could
21:19
just
21:19
go
21:20
and
21:20
sit
21:20
and
21:20
just
21:20
see
21:20
exactly
21:21
what's
21:21
going
21:21
on.
21:22
But
21:22
it
21:22
just
21:22
basically
21:23
just
21:23
depends
21:23
on
21:24
what
21:24
it
21:24
is
21:24
that
21:24
you
21:24
want
21:25
to
21:25
do
21:25
as
21:25
a.
21:26
Okay.
21:27
Is
21:27
there
21:27
any
21:27
retailers,
21:29
like,
21:29
people
21:30
who
21:30
purchase
21:30
for
21:31
bookstores
21:31
there
21:32
also
21:32
or.
21:32
No.
21:33
Yeah,
21:33
so
21:33
if
21:33
librarians
21:34
there.
21:34
ALS
21:35
is
21:35
for
21:35
the
21:35
library.
21:36
It's
21:36
the
21:36
annual
21:36
library
21:37
association.
21:37
So
21:37
it's
21:37
all,
21:38
like,
21:38
we
21:38
have
21:38
the
21:38
schools
21:39
and
21:39
everything
21:39
like
21:39
that.
21:39
And
21:39
it's
21:40
a
21:40
great
21:40
book
21:40
fair.
21:41
Only
21:41
thing
21:41
about
21:41
is
21:42
that
21:42
every
21:42
year
21:42
is
21:43
somewhere
21:43
different.
21:43
Like,
21:43
when
21:44
I
21:44
went
21:44
a
21:44
few
21:44
years
21:44
back,
21:45
it
21:45
was
21:45
in
21:45
Washington,
21:46
D.C.
21:46
okay.
21:47
I
21:47
want
21:47
to
21:47
say.
21:47
Yeah,
21:48
you
21:48
have
21:48
to
21:48
pay
21:48
the
21:48
2500.
21:49
I
21:49
want
21:49
to
21:49
say
21:49
it
21:49
was
21:49
2500.
21:50
Don't
21:51
quote
21:51
me,
21:51
because
21:52
like
21:52
I
21:52
said,
21:52
this
21:52
is
21:53
a
21:53
few
21:53
years
21:53
back.
21:54
And
21:55
what
21:55
else
21:56
is
21:56
it?
21:56
You
21:57
have
21:57
to
21:57
pay
21:57
for
21:57
your
21:57
plane.
21:58
You
21:58
have
21:58
to
21:58
pay
21:59
your
21:59
whole.
22:00
So
22:00
it's
22:00
a
22:00
lot
22:00
of
22:00
money,
22:00
but
22:01
you
22:01
have
22:01
to
22:01
look
22:02
at
22:02
the
22:02
bigger
22:02
picture.
22:02
Hey.
22:03
But
22:03
by
22:03
this
22:03
time,
22:03
when
22:04
I
22:04
went,
22:04
I
22:04
had
22:04
already
22:04
established
22:06
five
22:06
or
22:06
six,
22:06
seven
22:06
books.
22:07
So
22:07
it
22:07
was
22:07
like.
22:07
It
22:07
was
22:07
a
22:08
little
22:08
different
22:08
for
22:08
me.
22:09
But
22:09
someone
22:09
who's
22:10
coming
22:10
in,
22:10
like,
22:10
with
22:11
one
22:11
book,
22:11
do
22:12
I
22:12
think
22:12
they
22:12
should
22:12
go
22:12
with
22:12
just
22:13
one
22:13
book?
22:13
That
22:13
probably
22:13
wouldn't
22:14
be
22:14
the
22:14
event
22:14
for
22:14
them
22:14
because
22:15
they
22:15
only
22:15
have
22:15
one
22:15
book.
22:16
So
22:16
that's
22:16
when
22:16
you
22:16
like
22:17
the
22:17
smaller
22:17
local
22:18
fares
22:18
that
22:18
are
22:18
near
22:18
you
22:19
or
22:19
even,
22:19
like,
22:20
Fares
22:20
that
22:20
are
22:20
like
22:21
maybe
22:22
a
22:22
state
22:23
over
22:23
or
22:23
something
22:23
like
22:23
that,
22:23
if
22:23
you
22:24
don't
22:24
mind
22:24
driving.
22:25
Would
22:25
they
22:25
buy
22:26
the
22:26
libraries
22:27
by
22:27
multiple
22:28
titles
22:29
from
22:29
you?
22:30
So
22:31
me
22:31
and
22:31
I
22:32
have
22:32
a
22:32
great
22:32
rapport
22:33
when
22:33
it
22:33
comes
22:33
to
22:33
libraries.
22:34
I
22:34
have
22:35
a
22:35
great
22:35
rapport
22:35
when
22:35
it
22:35
comes
22:36
to
22:36
libraries.
22:36
I
22:36
have
22:36
a
22:37
great
22:37
relationship
22:37
with
22:37
librarians.
22:38
But
22:38
you
22:38
have
22:38
to
22:38
reach
22:39
out.
22:39
You
22:39
have
22:39
to
22:39
reach
22:39
out
22:40
and
22:40
say,
22:40
hey,
22:40
I
22:41
am
22:41
such
22:41
and
22:41
such.
22:41
Are
22:42
you
22:42
guys
22:42
interested
22:42
in
22:42
adding
22:43
my
22:43
book
22:43
to
22:43
you
22:43
guys
22:44
selection?
22:44
And
22:45
then
22:45
they
22:45
may
22:45
come
22:45
across
22:46
and
22:46
say,
22:46
hey,
22:46
send
22:46
me
22:46
your
22:47
titles.
22:47
And
22:47
then
22:47
you
22:47
have
22:47
to
22:47
do
22:48
whatever
22:48
necessary
22:48
step
22:49
you're
22:49
basically
22:49
just
22:49
pitching
22:50
yourself.
22:50
Yes,
22:51
you
22:51
bet,
22:51
you
22:52
bet.
22:52
And
22:53
so
22:53
they
22:53
would
22:53
buy
22:53
for.
22:54
A
22:54
lot
22:54
of
22:55
them
22:55
would
22:55
buy
22:55
for
22:55
multiple
22:56
libraries.
22:58
So
22:58
it
22:58
depends.
22:58
Let's
22:59
say,
22:59
let's
22:59
say
22:59
someone
23:00
in
23:00
New
23:00
York,
23:00
like
23:00
a
23:00
library
23:01
in
23:01
New
23:01
York,
23:02
they
23:02
may
23:02
buy
23:02
only
23:03
five
23:03
books,
23:04
right?
23:04
Yes.
23:05
Okay.
23:05
But
23:05
then
23:06
you
23:06
have
23:06
a
23:06
librarian
23:06
that's
23:07
in
23:07
California
23:07
that
23:08
may
23:08
buy
23:08
two
23:08
books.
23:09
So
23:09
if
23:09
you
23:10
may
23:10
not
23:10
be
23:10
getting
23:10
a
23:10
large
23:11
quantity
23:11
as
23:11
what
23:12
you
23:12
would
23:12
like,
23:12
but
23:12
it's
23:12
still,
23:12
hey,
23:13
when
23:13
you
23:13
look
23:13
at
23:13
it
23:13
like
23:13
when
23:14
they're
23:14
googling
23:14
your
23:14
name
23:15
when,
23:15
when
23:16
people
23:16
are
23:16
going
23:16
inside
23:17
and
23:17
they're
23:17
looking
23:17
at
23:17
the
23:18
books,
23:18
your
23:18
name
23:18
is
23:19
in
23:19
our
23:19
databases.
23:19
The
23:20
more
23:20
people
23:20
check
23:20
out
23:20
your
23:21
book,
23:21
the
23:21
more
23:21
you
23:22
know
23:22
they're
23:22
going
23:22
to
23:22
be
23:22
more
23:22
willing
23:23
to
23:23
add,
23:23
continue
23:24
to
23:24
add
23:24
your
23:24
book
23:24
to
23:24
their
23:25
collection.
23:26
Okay,
23:27
fantastic.
23:28
So
23:28
I'm
23:28
curious
23:29
about
23:30
your
23:30
motivation
23:32
starting
23:32
out
23:32
as
23:32
a
23:33
children's
23:33
book
23:33
author.
23:34
So
23:34
how
23:35
did
23:35
this
23:35
all
23:36
come
23:36
about?
23:36
Because
23:36
you
23:36
said
23:37
you
23:37
were
23:37
in
23:37
the
23:37
military
23:38
service
23:38
and
23:39
did
23:39
you
23:39
start
23:40
your
23:40
children's
23:41
book
23:41
authorship
23:42
journey
23:42
before
23:42
or
23:43
while
23:43
you
23:43
were
23:43
in
23:44
the
23:44
service
23:44
or
23:45
after
23:45
you
23:45
got
23:45
out
23:45
of
23:46
the
23:46
service?
23:46
If
23:47
I'm
23:47
quite
23:48
honest,
23:48
I
23:48
have
23:49
a
23:49
funny
23:49
little
23:49
story.
23:50
Funny
23:50
story.
23:50
I
23:51
love
23:51
it.
23:51
Love
23:51
it.
23:52
So
23:52
my
23:53
first
23:53
book
23:53
actually
23:54
was
23:54
a
23:54
young
23:54
adult
23:54
book
23:55
which
23:56
like
23:56
I
23:56
said,
23:56
I
23:56
published
23:57
under
23:57
Archway
23:58
Publishing.
23:58
That
23:58
was
23:58
my
23:58
first
23:59
book
23:59
that
23:59
I
23:59
had
23:59
ever
23:59
published,
24:00
which
24:00
was
24:00
a
24:00
young
24:00
adult
24:01
book.
24:01
Me
24:02
personally,
24:02
it
24:02
wasn't
24:03
really
24:03
my
24:03
cup
24:03
of
24:03
tea
24:04
because
24:04
I
24:04
just
24:04
feel
24:04
like
24:05
chapter
24:05
books
24:05
take
24:06
so
24:06
much
24:07
time
24:07
and
24:08
it
24:08
takes
24:08
so
24:08
much
24:08
time.
24:09
And
24:09
then
24:09
also
24:09
my
24:10
first
24:10
book
24:10
was
24:10
just
24:10
so
24:10
draining
24:11
because
24:12
reality
24:13
is
24:13
that
24:13
when
24:13
I
24:13
first
24:13
started
24:14
writing,
24:14
I
24:15
was
24:15
going
24:15
to
24:15
write
24:15
about
24:16
the
24:16
military.
24:16
I
24:16
wanted
24:16
to
24:16
write
24:16
about
24:17
something
24:17
that
24:17
I
24:17
was
24:17
actually
24:17
a
24:17
part
24:18
of.
24:18
Okay.
24:18
And
24:19
one
24:19
of
24:19
my
24:19
friends
24:20
during
24:20
this
24:20
time
24:20
I
24:20
was
24:21
living
24:21
in
24:21
Georgia
24:22
and
24:22
one
24:22
of
24:22
my
24:22
friends
24:22
had
24:22
actually
24:23
reached
24:23
out
24:23
and
24:23
she
24:23
was
24:23
like,
24:24
hey,
24:24
Chrishana,
24:25
what
24:25
are
24:25
you
24:25
doing?
24:25
And
24:26
I
24:26
was
24:26
like,
24:26
oh,
24:26
I'm
24:26
writing
24:26
a
24:26
book.
24:27
And
24:27
she
24:27
was
24:27
like,
24:28
about
24:28
that.
24:28
I
24:28
was
24:28
like,
24:29
oh,
24:29
I'm
24:29
writing
24:29
a
24:29
book
24:29
about
24:29
the
24:29
military.
24:30
She
24:30
don't
24:30
write
24:30
a
24:30
book
24:30
about
24:30
that.
24:30
Write
24:31
a
24:31
book
24:31
about
24:31
relationships.
24:31
And
24:32
I
24:32
was
24:32
like,
24:32
why
24:34
this
24:35
time?
24:35
Like,
24:35
I
24:35
wasn't
24:35
even
24:35
dating
24:36
anyone.
24:36
So
24:36
it's
24:36
like,
24:36
why
24:36
am
24:37
I
24:37
writing
24:37
a
24:37
book
24:37
about
24:37
relationships?
24:38
She
24:38
was
24:38
like,
24:38
because
24:39
everyone
24:39
just
24:39
sees
24:40
you
24:40
online.
24:40
They
24:41
just
24:41
think
24:41
everything
24:41
is
24:41
just
24:42
peaches
24:42
and
24:42
cream.
24:42
So
24:43
write
24:43
a
24:43
book.
24:43
And
24:43
during
24:43
this
24:43
time,
24:44
like
24:44
I
24:44
said,
24:44
I
24:44
wasn't
24:44
dating.
24:45
So
24:45
I'm
24:46
like,
24:46
okay,
24:46
if
24:46
everyone
24:46
thinks
24:47
my
24:47
life
24:47
is
24:47
perfect,
24:48
let
24:48
me
24:48
try
24:48
to
24:49
unperfect
24:50
my
24:50
life.
24:51
But
24:51
as
24:51
I
24:52
write
24:52
this
24:52
book,
24:54
as
24:54
I
24:54
started
24:54
to
24:54
write
24:55
this
24:55
book,
24:55
it
24:55
was
24:55
like
24:55
I
24:55
was
24:56
struggling
24:56
because
24:56
I
24:56
didn't
24:57
have
24:57
any
24:57
relationship
24:58
drama.
24:58
I
24:58
didn't
24:58
have
24:59
any
24:59
of
24:59
that.
25:00
So
25:00
now
25:00
I'm
25:00
trying
25:00
to
25:00
go
25:01
back
25:01
to
25:01
past
25:01
relationships.
25:02
Oh,
25:02
was
25:02
my
25:03
feelings
25:03
hurting?
25:03
This.
25:03
You
25:04
know,
25:06
I
25:06
went
25:06
to
25:06
social
25:06
media
25:07
and
25:07
I
25:07
looked
25:08
at
25:08
what
25:08
people
25:08
were
25:08
writing
25:08
on
25:09
social
25:09
media,
25:09
and
25:09
I'm
25:09
like,
25:09
okay,
25:09
maybe
25:10
I
25:10
can
25:10
just
25:10
write
25:10
a
25:10
book
25:10
that,
25:11
like,
25:11
just
25:11
put
25:11
everyone
25:12
into
25:12
one.
25:13
And
25:13
that's
25:14
when
25:14
my
25:14
first
25:14
book
25:14
came
25:14
out,
25:15
and
25:16
I
25:16
just
25:16
didn't
25:16
like
25:16
writing
25:16
it.
25:17
The
25:17
book
25:17
sold
25:17
out.
25:17
The
25:17
book
25:18
was
25:18
sold
25:18
out
25:18
for
25:18
me
25:18
about
25:19
three
25:19
or
25:19
four
25:19
months.
25:20
People
25:20
love
25:20
the
25:20
book.
25:21
Me
25:21
personally,
25:21
the
25:22
book
25:22
was
25:22
finally
25:22
my
25:23
first
25:23
book.
25:23
I
25:23
just
25:23
never
25:24
have
25:24
written
25:24
another
25:26
chapter
25:26
book
25:26
again.
25:27
It
25:27
just
25:27
takes
25:27
too
25:28
much
25:28
time.
25:28
And
25:29
so
25:29
how
25:29
did
25:29
you
25:29
pivot
25:30
from
25:30
that
25:31
to
25:31
then?
25:33
Was
25:34
it
25:34
your
25:34
daughter?
25:34
Right,
25:34
from
25:35
the
25:35
daughter,
25:36
yeah,
25:36
my
25:36
daughter.
25:37
Okay.
25:37
Yeah,
25:37
it
25:38
was
25:38
my
25:38
daughter
25:38
because,
25:38
like,
25:39
my
25:39
first
25:39
book,
25:39
Me
25:39
and
25:39
Money,
25:40
the
25:40
Ventures,
25:40
it's
25:40
based
25:41
on
25:41
traveling.
25:42
I
25:42
look,
25:42
based
25:42
on
25:43
the
25:43
places
25:43
that
25:43
me
25:43
and
25:43
my
25:44
daughter
25:44
have
25:44
traveled
25:44
to.
25:44
So
25:45
every
25:45
place
25:45
within
25:45
that
25:45
book,
25:46
me
25:46
and
25:46
my
25:46
daughter
25:46
been
25:47
to.
25:47
Okay.
25:48
And
25:48
so,
25:48
Chrishana,
25:48
I
25:49
noticed
25:49
pictures
25:50
of
25:50
your
25:50
daughter
25:50
online.
25:51
And
25:52
how
25:52
old
25:52
is
25:52
your
25:52
daughter?
25:53
My
25:53
daughter's
25:54
10
25:54
years
25:54
old.
25:55
Okay,
25:55
fantastic.
25:56
So
25:57
your
25:57
book
25:57
writing
25:57
journey
25:58
started
25:59
when
25:59
she.
25:59
Right,
26:00
when
26:00
she
26:00
was
26:00
born?
26:01
No.
26:02
So
26:02
I
26:02
started
26:02
writing
26:03
books
26:03
when
26:03
my
26:03
daughter
26:03
was.
26:04
I
26:04
want
26:04
to
26:04
say
26:04
three.
26:05
Three
26:05
or
26:05
four?
26:05
Three.
26:06
Okay.
26:06
Wow.
26:07
That's
26:07
still
26:07
remarkable,
26:08
what
26:08
you've
26:09
done.
26:09
And
26:09
that's
26:10
terms
26:10
of
26:10
the
26:10
number
26:10
of
26:10
books
26:11
and
26:11
the
26:11
amount
26:12
of
26:12
different
26:13
subjects
26:13
you
26:13
cover.
26:14
It's
26:14
incredible.
26:15
I'm
26:16
curious
26:16
about.
26:17
I
26:17
want
26:17
to
26:17
talk
26:18
a
26:18
little
26:18
bit
26:18
about
26:19
the
26:19
boy
26:19
in
26:19
the
26:19
wheelchair.
26:20
So
26:21
tell
26:21
us
26:21
about
26:22
your
26:22
main
26:22
character,
26:23
Lee.
26:24
How
26:24
did
26:24
you.
26:25
I'm
26:25
always
26:25
curious
26:26
about
26:26
the
26:26
name
26:27
because
26:27
in
26:27
our
26:27
books,
26:28
we.
26:28
Caboose
26:29
is
26:29
actually
26:30
the
26:30
K
26:31
in
26:31
caboose
26:32
because
26:32
caboose
26:32
is
26:33
spelled
26:33
with
26:33
a
26:33
C.
26:33
But
26:34
we
26:34
change
26:34
it
26:34
to
26:34
a
26:35
kid
26:35
to.
26:35
For
26:36
my
26:36
granddaughter
26:37
Kyra,
26:38
who.
26:38
It
26:38
starts
26:39
with
26:39
the
26:39
case.
26:39
So
26:39
I'm
26:40
wondering,
26:40
how
26:40
did
26:40
you
26:40
come
26:41
up
26:41
with
26:41
the
26:41
main
26:41
character's
26:42
name,
26:42
Ali,
26:43
and
26:43
tell
26:43
us
26:43
about
26:43
the
26:43
main
26:44
character.
26:45
So
26:46
the
26:46
name
26:46
Lee
26:47
just
26:47
came
26:47
randomly,
26:48
honestly.
26:49
So,
26:49
like,
26:49
when
26:49
I
26:50
write
26:50
these
26:50
books,
26:50
outside
26:51
of
26:51
the
26:51
books
26:51
that
26:51
have
26:51
my
26:52
daughter's
26:52
name
26:52
in
26:52
them,
26:53
I
26:53
write,
26:53
I
26:53
come
26:54
up
26:54
with
26:54
a
26:54
name
26:54
based
26:54
on
26:55
how
26:56
I
26:56
think
26:56
what
26:56
his
26:57
name
26:57
would
26:57
be
26:57
in
26:57
real
26:57
life.
26:58
Okay.
26:59
And
26:59
the
26:59
reason
27:00
I
27:00
have
27:00
a
27:00
fascination
27:01
is
27:01
my
27:01
daughter's
27:02
name
27:02
is
27:02
Lee
27:03
Ali.
27:04
Yes.
27:05
Oh,
27:05
wow.
27:06
So
27:06
that's
27:06
why
27:06
I
27:06
had
27:06
the.
27:07
Also
27:07
the
27:07
fascination
27:08
by
27:08
why
27:09
you
27:09
chose
27:09
Lee.
27:10
Yeah.
27:11
So
27:11
that
27:11
it
27:11
just
27:12
came.
27:12
Okay.
27:13
Yeah,
27:13
it
27:13
just
27:13
came.
27:14
I
27:14
just
27:14
started
27:14
writing.
27:15
Like,
27:15
honestly,
27:15
I
27:16
just.
27:16
One
27:16
day
27:17
I
27:17
was
27:17
just
27:17
in
27:17
my
27:18
car
27:18
and
27:19
I
27:19
was
27:19
waiting
27:19
for
27:19
my
27:19
daughter
27:19
to
27:20
get
27:20
out
27:20
of
27:20
school,
27:20
and
27:20
I
27:20
was
27:20
just
27:21
like,
27:21
let
27:21
me
27:21
write
27:22
this
27:22
book
27:22
while
27:22
I
27:22
was
27:22
on
27:22
the
27:22
top
27:22
of
27:23
my
27:23
head
27:23
and
27:23
I
27:23
wrote
27:23
into
27:23
my
27:24
phone.
27:24
Good
27:24
for
27:24
you.
27:25
Yeah,
27:25
I
27:25
wrote
27:25
it
27:25
in
27:26
my
27:26
phone.
27:26
And
27:27
Lee
27:27
was
27:28
the
27:28
first
27:28
thing
27:28
that
27:28
came
27:28
about,
27:29
and
27:29
it
27:29
was
27:29
just
27:29
like,
27:30
this
27:30
is
27:30
his
27:30
name.
27:31
So
27:31
tell
27:32
us
27:32
about.
27:32
Because
27:33
it
27:33
is
27:33
a
27:33
very
27:33
positive
27:34
book.
27:35
Tell
27:35
us
27:35
about
27:35
the
27:36
whole
27:37
approach
27:37
to
27:37
the
27:38
character
27:38
development.
27:40
So
27:41
with
27:41
this
27:41
book,
27:41
I
27:41
wanted
27:42
to
27:42
make
27:42
sure
27:42
that
27:42
I
27:43
brought
27:44
the
27:44
positivity
27:45
in
27:45
the
27:45
light
27:45
when
27:45
it
27:45
came
27:46
to
27:46
children
27:46
that
27:47
have
27:47
any
27:47
type
27:48
of
27:48
disabilities
27:49
or
27:49
any
27:49
type
27:49
of
27:50
issue
27:50
that
27:50
could
27:50
prevent
27:51
them
27:51
from
27:51
walking.
27:52
Because
27:52
I
27:52
do
27:52
know
27:52
that
27:53
when
27:53
it
27:53
comes
27:53
to
27:53
children
27:53
that
27:54
are.
27:56
Are
27:56
impaired
27:56
or
27:57
are
27:57
handicapped
27:58
or
27:58
anything
27:58
of
27:59
that
27:59
nature,
28:00
it
28:00
could
28:00
be
28:00
some
28:00
type
28:00
of
28:01
negative
28:01
light
28:01
that
28:02
they
28:02
may
28:02
feel
28:02
that,
28:03
hey,
28:03
I'm
28:03
not
28:03
normal,
28:04
or
28:04
I
28:04
can't
28:04
do
28:04
X,
28:05
Y,
28:05
and
28:05
Z
28:05
because
28:05
I
28:05
have
28:06
these
28:06
limitations.
28:07
I
28:08
wanted
28:08
to
28:08
make
28:08
sure.
28:08
Like,
28:09
it
28:09
really
28:09
expressive.
28:10
No,
28:10
like,
28:11
he
28:11
or
28:11
she
28:12
is
28:12
not
28:12
any
28:13
less
28:13
of
28:13
a
28:14
person
28:15
because
28:15
they're
28:16
not
28:16
able
28:16
to
28:16
do
28:16
such
28:16
and
28:17
such.
28:17
Well,
28:17
you
28:17
know
28:17
what?
28:17
I'm
28:18
glad
28:18
you
28:18
wrote
28:18
a
28:18
book
28:19
like
28:19
that,
28:19
because
28:19
I
28:19
have
28:20
a
28:20
cousin
28:20
who
28:21
got
28:21
polio.
28:22
Now
28:22
I
28:22
know
28:22
polio's
28:23
not
28:23
a
28:23
prevalent
28:24
disease
28:25
anymore.
28:25
He
28:26
got
28:26
polio,
28:26
which
28:27
restricted
28:28
his
28:28
limbs
28:29
and
28:29
kind
28:30
of
28:30
a
28:30
deformity.
28:31
But
28:31
he
28:31
still.
28:33
He's
28:33
an
28:33
adult
28:34
and
28:34
lives
28:35
a
28:35
full
28:35
life
28:35
and
28:36
has
28:36
three
28:36
children.
28:37
So
28:38
that's
28:38
what
28:38
I
28:38
love
28:38
about
28:39
your
28:39
book.
28:39
It's
28:39
so
28:40
positive
28:40
that
28:40
Lee
28:41
will
28:41
be
28:41
able
28:41
to
28:41
go
28:41
on
28:42
and
28:42
do
28:42
whatever
28:42
he
28:43
wants.
28:44
That's
28:44
the
28:44
message
28:44
of
28:45
it.
28:46
So
28:46
talk
28:47
to
28:47
us
28:48
a
28:48
bit
28:48
more
28:48
about
28:49
the
28:49
theme
28:49
of
28:49
the
28:50
book.
28:51
So
28:52
the
28:52
theme
28:52
of
28:52
the
28:52
book
28:52
is,
28:53
like
28:53
I
28:53
said,
28:53
it
28:54
just
28:54
was
28:54
really
28:55
enhancing
28:56
the
28:56
positive
28:57
light
28:57
that
28:58
people
28:58
think
28:58
that
28:59
children
28:59
who
28:59
are
29:00
in
29:00
a
29:00
wheelchair
29:01
or
29:01
people
29:01
who
29:01
are
29:01
in
29:01
a
29:01
wheelchair
29:02
can
29:02
do.
29:02
Because
29:03
when
29:03
I.
29:04
When
29:04
I
29:04
pitched
29:05
this
29:05
book
29:05
and
29:05
I
29:05
had,
29:06
when
29:06
I
29:06
pitched,
29:06
when
29:07
I
29:07
pitched
29:07
this
29:07
book
29:07
to
29:08
like,
29:08
my
29:08
friend,
29:08
hey,
29:08
like,
29:09
what
29:09
do
29:09
you
29:09
think
29:09
about
29:09
this
29:10
book?
29:10
And
29:11
even
29:11
when
29:11
I
29:11
showed
29:11
up
29:11
some
29:12
of
29:12
my
29:12
illustrations,
29:12
like,
29:12
they
29:12
did
29:13
not
29:13
believe
29:14
that
29:14
a
29:14
child
29:15
in
29:15
a
29:15
wheelchair
29:15
can
29:15
ride
29:16
a
29:16
bike.
29:16
And
29:16
it
29:16
was
29:16
like,
29:16
yeah,
29:17
he's
29:17
on
29:17
a
29:17
bike.
29:17
Like,
29:17
they
29:18
have
29:18
bikes
29:18
for
29:18
children
29:18
in
29:18
wheelchair
29:19
or
29:20
they
29:20
can
29:20
swim.
29:20
Yeah.
29:21
Children
29:21
that
29:22
are
29:22
disabled
29:22
can
29:23
still
29:23
swim.
29:23
Like,
29:24
they
29:24
can
29:24
still
29:24
play.
29:25
They
29:25
can
29:25
still
29:25
go
29:25
to
29:25
the
29:26
movies.
29:26
They
29:26
can
29:26
live
29:26
a
29:26
normal
29:27
life.
29:27
And
29:28
that
29:28
was
29:28
the
29:28
theme
29:29
of
29:29
the
29:29
book.
29:29
Like,
29:29
I
29:29
really
29:29
want
29:30
to
29:30
emphasize
29:30
that
29:30
to
29:31
show
29:31
the
29:32
normality
29:32
that
29:33
people
29:33
who
29:33
have
29:34
disabilities
29:35
can
29:35
still
29:36
live
29:36
a
29:36
normal
29:36
life.
29:37
Like
29:37
me
29:37
and
29:37
you.
29:37
Right.
29:38
Like,
29:38
for
29:39
example,
29:39
Krishani,
29:40
when
29:40
you
29:40
look
29:40
at
29:40
the
29:41
Special
29:41
Olympics,
29:42
right.
29:43
There's
29:43
wheelchair
29:44
basketball,
29:45
the
29:46
Winter
29:46
Olympics,
29:47
you
29:47
have
29:47
them
29:48
playing
29:48
hockey.
29:49
It's
29:49
just
29:50
amazing
29:50
that
29:51
these
29:51
are
29:51
all
29:51
normal
29:52
things
29:52
that
29:52
we'd
29:53
all
29:53
do
29:53
and
29:53
they're
29:54
doing
29:54
them.
29:55
Correct.
29:55
Yeah.
29:56
And
29:56
I
29:56
wanted
29:56
to
29:56
really,
29:57
to
29:57
just
29:57
touch
29:57
on
29:58
that
29:58
and
29:58
just
29:59
emphasize
29:59
it
29:59
because
30:00
contrary
30:01
to
30:01
what
30:01
people
30:01
may
30:02
believe,
30:02
there
30:02
are
30:02
so
30:02
many
30:03
kids
30:03
who
30:03
have
30:03
disabilities
30:04
and
30:05
they
30:05
may
30:05
feel
30:05
like,
30:05
hey,
30:06
my
30:06
life
30:06
isn't
30:06
the
30:06
same
30:07
because
30:07
I'm
30:08
not
30:08
able
30:08
to
30:08
walk.
30:08
How
30:08
the
30:09
rest
30:09
of
30:09
my
30:09
friends
30:09
aren't
30:10
me.
30:11
And
30:11
I
30:11
love
30:11
how
30:11
you
30:12
incorporated
30:12
it.
30:13
Lee
30:13
just
30:14
leads
30:14
a
30:14
normal
30:15
life.
30:16
He
30:17
just
30:17
happens
30:17
to
30:17
be
30:17
in
30:18
a
30:18
wheelchair,
30:18
but
30:19
that
30:20
doesn't
30:20
restrict
30:20
him
30:21
from
30:21
anything,
30:22
doing
30:22
anything.
30:23
Yeah.
30:23
You
30:24
thought
30:24
he
30:24
had
30:24
them
30:24
chores,
30:24
right?
30:25
Yeah,
30:25
his
30:26
chores,
30:26
going
30:27
to
30:27
the
30:27
store
30:27
with
30:27
his
30:28
friends,
30:29
swimming
30:30
school.
30:31
It's
30:31
all
30:31
those
30:32
normal
30:33
things
30:33
that
30:34
a
30:34
child
30:34
does.
30:35
Yeah.
30:36
So
30:36
I
30:36
just
30:36
wanted
30:36
to
30:36
emphasize
30:37
that
30:37
and
30:37
just
30:37
show
30:38
the
30:38
positivity
30:38
when
30:39
it
30:39
comes
30:39
to
30:39
it
30:39
and
30:39
just
30:40
make
30:40
everyone
30:40
feel.
30:42
Not
30:42
feel,
30:43
but
30:43
just
30:43
make
30:43
sure
30:44
everyone
30:44
knows
30:44
that
30:44
regardless
30:45
of
30:45
whatever
30:45
you
30:45
are
30:45
going
30:46
through
30:46
in
30:46
life,
30:46
like,
30:46
you're
30:46
a
30:46
normal.
30:47
Like.
30:48
And
30:48
how
30:48
does
30:49
Brooklyn
30:49
feel
30:50
about
30:50
when
30:50
you
30:50
write
30:51
these
30:51
type
30:51
of
30:51
stories?
30:53
Because
30:54
this
30:54
one,
30:54
she
30:54
didn't
30:55
co
30:55
write
30:55
with
30:55
you,
30:55
right?
30:56
No,
30:57
Brooklyn
30:57
did
30:57
not
30:58
co
30:58
write
30:58
that
30:58
one
30:58
with
30:59
me.
30:59
She
30:59
did
30:59
not.
31:00
Kids
31:00
are
31:01
like,
31:01
why
31:01
is
31:02
my
31:02
name
31:02
not
31:02
on
31:02
there?
31:04
Like,
31:04
where's
31:04
my
31:04
name?
31:05
So
31:05
that's
31:05
where
31:05
she
31:05
stands
31:06
on
31:06
this
31:06
situation.
31:06
My
31:07
name's
31:07
not
31:07
on
31:07
here.
31:07
Okay.
31:09
We
31:09
see
31:09
books
31:09
that
31:09
I
31:09
write
31:10
and
31:10
her
31:10
name
31:10
is
31:10
not
31:11
listed.
31:11
It's
31:11
because
31:11
I'm
31:12
trying
31:12
to
31:12
prevent
31:12
any.
31:13
I'm
31:13
not
31:13
sure
31:13
whatever
31:14
type
31:14
of
31:14
feedback
31:14
that
31:15
I
31:15
may
31:15
get.
31:15
So
31:16
I
31:16
want
31:16
to
31:16
make
31:16
sure
31:16
that
31:17
if
31:17
I
31:17
get
31:17
some
31:17
type
31:17
of
31:17
negative
31:18
feedback,
31:18
it
31:19
only
31:19
comes
31:19
back
31:19
on
31:19
me.
31:20
It
31:20
doesn't
31:20
come
31:20
back
31:20
on
31:20
my
31:20
child.
31:21
Right.
31:21
I
31:22
never
31:22
thought
31:22
about
31:22
it
31:23
that
31:23
way.
31:23
It
31:23
can
31:24
be
31:24
so
31:24
true.
31:25
So
31:26
I
31:26
Want
31:27
to
31:27
pick
31:27
up
31:27
on
31:27
that?
31:27
Because
31:28
what's
31:28
the
31:29
central
31:29
teaching
31:30
through
31:30
the
31:31
boy
31:31
in
31:31
the
31:31
wheelchair?
31:33
Is
31:33
there
31:33
a
31:33
lesson
31:34
or
31:34
a
31:34
teaching
31:35
that
31:35
you'd
31:35
like
31:35
to
31:35
get
31:35
across?
31:37
Ultimately,
31:38
the
31:38
lesson
31:38
is
31:38
that
31:39
you
31:39
can't.
31:39
Do
31:39
not
31:40
judge
31:40
anyone
31:41
based
31:41
on
31:41
any
31:42
type
31:42
of
31:42
physical.
31:43
What's
31:44
with
31:44
the
31:44
eye?
31:45
Because
31:45
you
31:45
don't
31:45
know.
31:46
You
31:46
know,
31:46
don't.
31:47
Don't
31:47
judge
31:47
a
31:48
book
31:48
by
31:48
its
31:48
cover.
31:49
Don't
31:49
judge
31:49
it
31:49
was
31:49
by
31:50
its
31:50
cover.
31:51
I'm
31:51
also
31:52
interested
31:52
in,
31:53
like,
31:54
with
31:54
the
31:54
number
31:55
of
31:55
children's
31:55
books
31:55
you've
31:56
written.
31:56
So
31:57
I'm
31:57
curious
31:57
about
31:58
your
31:59
writing
31:59
process.
32:01
Give
32:01
us
32:01
some
32:01
insight
32:02
into
32:02
your
32:03
whole
32:03
writing
32:04
development.
32:05
How
32:05
do
32:05
you
32:06
go
32:06
about
32:06
writing
32:06
a
32:07
children's
32:07
book?
32:07
I
32:07
know
32:08
you're
32:08
the
32:08
illustrator,
32:08
too,
32:09
but
32:09
you
32:09
said
32:09
you
32:10
do
32:10
usually
32:10
do
32:10
the
32:11
words
32:11
first,
32:11
then
32:11
the
32:12
illustration.
32:12
So
32:13
talk
32:13
to
32:13
us
32:13
about
32:14
that.
32:14
Like,
32:15
how
32:15
do
32:15
I
32:15
come
32:15
up
32:15
with
32:15
the
32:15
concepts?
32:16
Yeah,
32:17
you
32:18
know
32:18
what,
32:18
Honestly,
32:19
Rick?
32:20
I
32:21
write
32:22
these
32:22
books
32:22
just
32:22
come
32:23
randomly.
32:24
Like,
32:24
these
32:24
books
32:25
come
32:25
out
32:25
of
32:25
nowhere.
32:26
If
32:26
I'm
32:26
driving
32:27
and
32:27
a
32:27
book
32:27
comes
32:28
to
32:28
my
32:28
mind,
32:28
like,
32:29
as
32:29
soon
32:29
as
32:29
I
32:29
pull
32:29
over
32:30
and
32:30
I
32:30
park,
32:30
I
32:30
have
32:30
to
32:30
write
32:31
this
32:31
book.
32:31
I'm
32:31
not
32:32
going
32:32
to
32:32
write
32:32
it.
32:32
So
32:33
I,
32:33
like
32:33
the
32:33
books
32:34
just
32:34
come
32:34
randomly
32:34
or
32:34
just
32:35
be
32:35
based
32:35
on,
32:36
like,
32:36
my
32:36
book.
32:37
What
32:37
book
32:37
did
32:37
I
32:37
write?
32:38
I
32:38
wrote
32:38
a
32:38
book
32:38
called
32:39
20
32:39
Sheep.
32:40
I
32:40
don't
32:40
know
32:40
if
32:40
you
32:41
saw
32:41
it
32:41
on
32:41
my
32:41
website.
32:41
Yes,
32:42
I
32:42
did.
32:43
Yeah.
32:43
20
32:43
sheep.
32:43
And
32:44
I
32:44
think
32:44
that
32:44
was
32:44
the
32:44
first
32:44
book
32:44
I
32:45
had
32:45
ever
32:45
won
32:45
an
32:45
award
32:46
for.
32:46
But
32:47
the
32:47
truth
32:48
behind
32:48
that
32:48
book
32:48
was
32:48
that
32:49
when
32:49
I
32:49
first
32:49
started,
32:50
when
32:50
I
32:50
started
32:50
writing
32:50
that
32:50
book,
32:51
I
32:51
wasn't
32:51
writing
32:51
about
32:51
sheep.
32:52
I
32:52
was
32:52
writing
32:52
about.
32:53
I
32:54
think
32:54
I
32:54
was
32:54
writing
32:54
an
32:54
ABC
32:55
book
32:55
or
32:55
something
32:55
like
32:56
that.
32:56
And
32:56
as
32:56
I
32:56
started
32:56
trying
32:57
to
32:57
write
32:57
the
32:57
abc,
32:57
it
32:58
just
32:58
directed
32:58
me
32:58
towards
32:59
sheep,
32:59
and
32:59
I
32:59
just
32:59
went
33:00
with
33:00
it.
33:00
So
33:01
I.
33:01
It's
33:01
just.
33:02
So
33:02
there's
33:02
no
33:02
way
33:03
to
33:03
go.
33:03
It's
33:03
just
33:03
like,
33:03
whatever
33:04
comes
33:04
to
33:04
my
33:04
mind,
33:05
like,
33:05
I
33:05
just
33:05
write
33:06
it,
33:06
and
33:06
then
33:07
if
33:07
I
33:07
get
33:07
it
33:07
out,
33:07
I
33:08
can
33:08
always
33:08
go
33:08
back
33:08
and
33:09
polish
33:09
it
33:09
up
33:09
and
33:09
make
33:10
whatever
33:10
change
33:10
that
33:10
need
33:10
to
33:11
be
33:11
changed.
33:11
Yes.
33:12
I
33:12
was
33:12
talking
33:13
to
33:13
a
33:13
writer
33:13
from
33:14
Staten
33:14
island
33:15
and
33:15
she
33:15
wrote
33:15
a
33:16
book
33:16
and
33:17
she
33:17
said
33:18
she
33:19
woke
33:19
up
33:19
in
33:19
the
33:20
middle
33:20
of
33:20
the
33:20
night
33:21
and
33:21
she
33:21
had
33:22
her
33:22
iPhone
33:23
and
33:23
she
33:23
wrote
33:23
the
33:23
book.
33:24
And
33:24
her
33:25
and
33:25
her
33:25
husband
33:26
woke
33:26
up
33:26
towards
33:27
the
33:27
tail
33:27
end
33:27
of
33:28
her
33:28
finishing
33:28
the
33:28
book,
33:29
and
33:29
he
33:29
said,
33:30
what
33:30
did
33:30
you
33:30
just
33:31
do?
33:32
And
33:32
she
33:32
said,
33:32
oh,
33:33
I
33:33
wrote
33:33
a
33:33
children's
33:34
book.
33:34
And
33:34
he
33:34
said,
33:35
what?
33:35
So
33:36
it's
33:36
incredible.
33:37
What
33:37
inspirational
33:38
do.
33:38
Right.
33:39
And
33:39
you
33:39
get
33:39
in
33:39
the
33:39
flow
33:40
and
33:40
away
33:40
it
33:40
goes.
33:41
Yeah.
33:41
And
33:42
it's
33:42
just.
33:42
You
33:42
have
33:42
to
33:42
write
33:43
it.
33:43
When.
33:43
That's
33:43
one
33:43
of
33:43
the
33:44
biggest
33:44
things
33:44
that
33:44
I
33:44
do
33:44
want
33:45
new
33:45
authors
33:45
to
33:46
understand.
33:46
Like,
33:46
when
33:46
you
33:47
get
33:47
that.
33:47
When
33:48
you
33:48
get
33:48
that
33:48
thought,
33:49
you
33:49
have
33:49
to
33:49
write
33:49
it
33:49
down.
33:50
If
33:50
you
33:50
don't
33:50
write
33:50
it
33:50
down
33:51
in
33:51
that
33:51
moment,
33:51
you
33:51
can't
33:51
come
33:52
back
33:52
two
33:52
hours
33:52
later
33:53
and
33:53
be
33:53
like,
33:53
okay,
33:53
yeah,
33:53
I'm
33:54
ready,
33:54
because
33:54
it's
33:54
gone.
33:55
I
33:55
couldn't
33:55
agree
33:55
with
33:55
you
33:56
more.
33:57
And
33:58
that's
33:58
where
33:58
my,
33:58
like,
33:58
my
33:58
books
33:59
just
33:59
come.
34:00
So
34:01
your
34:01
writing
34:02
process,
34:02
do
34:02
you
34:03
set
34:04
a
34:04
specific
34:04
amount
34:05
of
34:05
time
34:05
aside
34:06
in
34:06
the
34:06
day?
34:07
Or,
34:07
like,
34:08
is
34:08
it
34:09
random
34:09
or
34:10
is
34:10
it
34:11
strategic?
34:12
How
34:12
does
34:12
it
34:12
happen
34:12
for
34:13
you?
34:13
Mine's
34:14
random.
34:15
It's
34:15
just
34:15
random.
34:16
Like
34:16
I
34:16
said,
34:16
I
34:16
could
34:17
be
34:17
driving,
34:17
I
34:17
could
34:17
be
34:17
sitting
34:18
outside
34:18
my
34:18
daughter's
34:18
school,
34:19
or
34:19
I
34:19
can
34:19
be
34:20
on
34:20
the
34:20
phone
34:20
with
34:20
one
34:20
of
34:20
my
34:20
friends,
34:20
and
34:20
they'd
34:21
be
34:21
like,
34:21
okay,
34:21
be
34:21
quiet.
34:22
Dosing.
34:23
And
34:24
once.
34:24
And
34:24
it
34:24
was
34:25
like,
34:25
we
34:25
were
34:26
just
34:26
talking
34:26
about.
34:27
We
34:27
were
34:27
just
34:27
talking
34:28
about
34:28
food,
34:28
and
34:28
you
34:28
just
34:28
got
34:28
to
34:29
talking
34:29
about
34:29
clouds.
34:30
And
34:30
yeah,
34:30
it's
34:30
not
34:30
corrected
34:31
book,
34:31
so
34:31
just
34:31
don't
34:32
say
34:32
anything.
34:32
So
34:33
it's
34:33
just
34:33
random.
34:34
Good
34:34
for
34:34
you.
34:35
Besides
34:36
your
34:36
own
34:36
personal
34:36
experience,
34:37
do
34:37
you
34:38
conduct
34:38
any
34:38
research
34:39
when
34:39
you
34:40
come
34:40
up
34:41
with
34:41
an
34:41
idea
34:41
for
34:41
a
34:42
children's
34:42
book?
34:43
So
34:43
it
34:43
depends
34:44
on.
34:44
It
34:44
depends
34:44
on
34:45
exactly
34:45
what
34:45
I'm
34:46
talking
34:46
about.
34:46
Okay.
34:47
Oh,
34:47
the
34:47
boy
34:48
in
34:48
a
34:48
wheelchair.
34:48
I
34:48
had
34:48
to
34:48
do
34:48
research
34:49
on
34:49
that
34:49
because,
34:49
like
34:49
I
34:49
said,
34:50
I
34:50
did
34:50
not
34:50
want
34:50
to
34:50
disrespect
34:51
or
34:51
put
34:51
out
34:51
any
34:52
wrong
34:52
information
34:52
when
34:53
it
34:53
came
34:53
to.
34:53
When
34:54
it
34:54
came
34:54
to
34:55
a
34:55
topic
34:55
so
34:55
sensitive,
34:56
and
34:57
I
34:57
didn't
34:57
want
34:57
to
34:57
offend
34:57
anyone,
34:58
so
34:58
I
34:58
had
34:58
to
34:58
make
34:58
sure
34:59
that
34:59
everything
34:59
that
35:00
I
35:00
put
35:00
in
35:00
the
35:00
book
35:00
was
35:00
accurate.
35:01
Now,
35:01
also,
35:02
when
35:02
I
35:02
wrote
35:02
the
35:02
book,
35:03
I
35:03
traveled
35:03
the
35:03
alphabets.
35:05
Now,
35:05
that
35:06
book,
35:06
I
35:06
had
35:07
to
35:07
do
35:07
a
35:07
lot
35:07
of
35:07
research
35:07
on
35:08
it
35:08
because
35:09
it's
35:09
an
35:09
Alphabet
35:09
book,
35:10
but
35:10
it
35:10
also
35:10
speaks
35:10
about
35:10
history.
35:11
If
35:11
I'm
35:11
going
35:11
to
35:11
be
35:12
teaching
35:12
kids,
35:12
if
35:12
I'm
35:13
selling
35:13
this
35:13
to
35:13
kids,
35:13
I
35:13
want
35:13
to
35:13
make
35:13
sure
35:14
that
35:14
I'm
35:14
giving
35:14
kids
35:14
the
35:14
right
35:14
information,
35:15
because
35:17
that's
35:17
what
35:17
it
35:17
is.
35:17
Like,
35:18
I
35:18
don't
35:18
want
35:18
to
35:18
write
35:18
a
35:18
book.
35:18
And
35:19
then
35:19
someone
35:19
goes
35:19
and
35:20
does
35:20
the
35:20
research.
35:20
Oh,
35:20
yeah,
35:21
that's
35:21
not
35:21
true.
35:21
And
35:22
yeah,
35:22
it
35:22
is
35:22
true,
35:23
because
35:23
I
35:24
did
35:24
seven
35:24
months
35:24
worth
35:25
of
35:25
research.
35:25
This
35:25
is
35:25
true.
35:26
Good
35:26
for
35:26
you.
35:27
It's
35:28
important.
35:28
You
35:28
know
35:29
what?
35:29
Even
35:29
though
35:30
both
35:30
of
35:30
our
35:30
books
35:31
are
35:32
fiction,
35:33
what
35:33
we've
35:33
done
35:34
is
35:35
they've
35:35
happened
35:36
in
35:36
a
35:36
specific
35:37
area.
35:38
And
35:39
so
35:39
most
35:40
of
35:40
it
35:40
has
35:40
happened
35:41
in
35:41
the
35:41
Rocky
35:41
Mountains.
35:42
So
35:42
I've
35:43
definitely
35:43
incorporated
35:45
history,
35:46
the
35:46
history
35:46
of
35:47
the
35:47
area
35:47
into
35:48
the
35:48
children's
35:48
story.
35:49
So
35:50
it's
35:50
fun,
35:51
for
35:51
sure.
35:52
And
35:52
I
35:52
think
35:52
to
35:53
your
35:53
point,
35:53
if
35:54
you're
35:54
going
35:54
to
35:54
teach
35:55
lessons,
35:56
you
35:56
want
35:56
to
35:56
have
35:56
some
35:57
sort
35:57
of
35:58
accuracy
35:59
in
35:59
what
35:59
you're
35:59
trying
36:00
to
36:00
convey.
36:01
That's
36:01
true.
36:02
For
36:02
example,
36:02
did
36:02
you
36:03
have
36:03
a
36:03
chance
36:03
to
36:03
look
36:03
at
36:03
my
36:03
book?
36:04
I
36:04
traveled
36:04
alphabets?
36:05
No,
36:06
I
36:06
did
36:06
not.
36:06
Sorry.
36:07
So,
36:08
like,
36:08
with
36:08
that
36:08
book,
36:08
I
36:09
actually
36:09
learned
36:10
that
36:10
was
36:10
one
36:10
of
36:10
the
36:10
hardest
36:10
children
36:11
books
36:11
I
36:11
have
36:11
ever
36:12
written
36:12
in
36:13
my
36:13
life.
36:13
That
36:14
was
36:14
the
36:14
hardest
36:14
children
36:14
book
36:15
I
36:15
have
36:15
ever
36:15
written
36:15
in
36:15
my
36:16
life.
36:16
But
36:16
I
36:17
learned
36:17
so
36:17
much.
36:17
And
36:18
that
36:18
is
36:18
a
36:19
book
36:19
that
36:19
I
36:19
feel
36:20
a
36:20
parent
36:21
needs
36:21
to
36:21
sit
36:21
down
36:21
and
36:22
read
36:22
with
36:22
their
36:22
child
36:22
and
36:22
really
36:23
explain
36:23
it
36:23
to
36:23
them,
36:24
just
36:24
if
36:24
the
36:24
kid
36:25
had
36:25
any
36:25
questions,
36:26
because
36:26
it's
36:26
a
36:26
research
36:27
book,
36:27
but
36:27
it's
36:27
an
36:27
Alphabet
36:28
book.
36:28
But
36:28
it
36:28
also
36:28
is
36:29
so
36:29
much
36:29
information
36:30
and
36:30
so
36:30
much
36:30
knowledge
36:30
that
36:31
you
36:31
will
36:31
learn
36:31
about
36:31
the
36:32
history
36:32
of
36:32
different
36:32
countries.
36:33
And
36:33
so
36:33
obviously
36:34
get
36:34
inspired
36:35
to
36:35
do
36:35
that
36:35
book.
36:36
I
36:36
used
36:37
to
36:37
live
36:37
in
36:37
Germany.
36:38
Okay.
36:39
And
36:39
I
36:39
lived
36:39
in
36:40
Germany
36:40
for
36:40
four
36:40
years.
36:41
Really?
36:42
Yes.
36:43
Yeah.
36:44
We
36:44
have
36:44
so
36:44
much
36:44
in
36:44
common.
36:45
Absolutely.
36:46
Yeah.
36:47
I
36:47
used
36:47
to
36:47
live
36:47
in
36:48
Germany.
36:48
Were
36:48
you
36:48
with
36:49
the
36:49
forces
36:49
at
36:49
the
36:50
time?
36:50
Yeah,
36:51
I
36:51
was.
36:51
Okay.
36:52
So
36:52
my
36:52
dad
36:52
was
36:53
in
36:53
the
36:53
armed
36:53
forces,
36:54
so
36:54
I
36:54
lived
36:55
there
36:55
as
36:55
a
36:55
teenager.
36:56
Really?
36:57
Yeah,
36:57
from
36:58
13
36:58
to
36:58
17.
36:59
So
37:00
it
37:00
was
37:00
incredible
37:01
life.
37:02
Yeah.
37:02
You
37:02
did
37:02
a
37:02
lot
37:02
of
37:03
traveling?
37:03
We
37:04
did.
37:04
We
37:04
saw
37:04
all
37:04
of
37:05
Europe.
37:05
Our
37:06
school
37:06
trips
37:06
used
37:06
to
37:07
be
37:07
to
37:07
Vienna,
37:08
Paris,
37:09
Berlin,
37:09
London.
37:11
I
37:11
went
37:11
to
37:11
a
37:11
world
37:11
jamboree
37:12
with
37:12
Scouting
37:13
in
37:13
Belgium.
37:14
We
37:14
went
37:14
everywhere
37:15
in
37:15
Europe.
37:15
It
37:15
was
37:15
incredible.
37:16
So
37:17
if
37:17
you
37:17
look
37:17
at
37:17
that
37:18
book,
37:18
a
37:18
lot
37:18
of
37:18
the
37:18
history
37:20
speaks
37:20
on
37:21
Europe,
37:21
A
37:22
lot
37:22
of
37:22
the
37:22
history
37:22
within.
37:22
I
37:22
travel
37:23
Africa
37:23
is
37:23
about
37:23
Europe
37:24
because
37:24
I
37:24
live
37:24
there.
37:25
But
37:25
I
37:25
also
37:26
wanted
37:26
to
37:27
try
37:28
now,
37:28
when
37:29
it
37:29
came
37:29
to
37:29
the
37:29
research,
37:29
I
37:30
had
37:30
to.
37:30
Outside
37:31
of
37:31
me
37:31
living
37:31
in
37:31
Europe,
37:31
I
37:32
had
37:32
to
37:32
do
37:32
the
37:32
research
37:32
on
37:32
other
37:32
countries
37:33
that
37:33
I
37:33
put
37:33
inside
37:33
the
37:33
book
37:34
as
37:34
well,
37:34
because
37:35
some
37:35
of
37:35
those
37:35
places
37:35
I
37:35
hadn't
37:36
been.
37:36
So
37:37
it's
37:37
like
37:37
I
37:37
had
37:37
to
37:37
do
37:37
the
37:37
research
37:38
when
37:38
it
37:38
came
37:38
to
37:38
it.
37:39
But
37:40
like
37:40
I
37:40
said,
37:40
it's
37:40
a
37:40
great
37:40
book.
37:41
It's
37:41
a
37:41
great
37:41
educational
37:42
book.
37:42
It
37:43
sounds
37:43
fantastic.
37:44
I
37:44
love
37:44
that
37:45
when
37:45
you
37:45
can
37:46
broaden
37:46
a
37:46
children's
37:47
view
37:48
of
37:48
the
37:48
world.
37:49
Right.
37:50
Because
37:50
not,
37:51
you
37:51
know,
37:51
most
37:52
of
37:52
my
37:52
friends,
37:52
and
37:53
I
37:53
don't
37:53
know
37:53
about
37:53
your
37:54
friends,
37:54
but
37:55
a
37:55
lot
37:55
of
37:55
my
37:55
friends
37:55
have
37:56
never
37:56
been
37:56
outside
37:57
of.
37:57
I
37:57
live
37:57
in
37:57
Canada,
37:58
but,
37:58
you
37:59
know,
37:59
they
37:59
haven't
37:59
been
38:00
outside
38:00
of
38:00
Canada.
38:01
And
38:01
a
38:01
lot
38:01
of
38:01
your
38:01
friends
38:02
probably
38:02
have
38:02
said
38:02
to
38:03
you,
38:03
I've
38:03
never
38:03
been
38:03
outside
38:04
of
38:04
the
38:04
United
38:04
States.
38:05
And
38:05
yet
38:06
you
38:06
got
38:06
to
38:06
go
38:06
to
38:06
Europe,
38:07
live
38:07
in
38:07
Europe.
38:08
And
38:09
it
38:09
influenced
38:10
the
38:10
way
38:10
you
38:10
think,
38:11
correct?
38:12
It
38:12
does.
38:13
It
38:13
does.
38:14
Very
38:14
cool.
38:15
Good
38:15
for
38:15
you,
38:15
I'm
38:16
curious
38:16
about
38:17
success
38:18
measurement
38:19
and
38:20
I
38:20
know
38:20
we're
38:20
talking.
38:21
We
38:21
talked
38:21
a
38:21
bit
38:22
about
38:22
having
38:22
a
38:23
business
38:23
book
38:23
plan,
38:24
but
38:24
I'm
38:24
curious
38:25
when
38:25
you
38:26
first
38:26
started
38:26
out,
38:27
because
38:27
a
38:27
lot
38:27
of
38:27
us
38:28
might
38:28
have
38:28
these
38:28
stars
38:29
in
38:29
our
38:29
eyes
38:30
that
38:30
we're
38:30
going
38:30
to
38:30
sell
38:31
thousands
38:31
of
38:31
books
38:32
and
38:32
we're
38:32
going
38:32
to
38:33
become
38:33
rich
38:33
and
38:34
famous.
38:34
And
38:35
usually
38:35
as
38:35
the
38:35
children's
38:36
book
38:36
author,
38:36
that's
38:37
the
38:37
furthest
38:37
thing
38:38
from
38:38
the
38:38
truth.
38:39
Tell
38:39
us
38:39
about
38:40
what
38:40
you
38:41
had
38:41
envisioned
38:42
when
38:42
you
38:42
wrote
38:43
your
38:43
first
38:44
children's
38:44
book.
38:45
What
38:45
did
38:45
you
38:45
envision
38:46
as
38:46
successful?
38:48
My
38:48
first
38:49
children
38:49
book,
38:50
I
38:51
envision
38:52
success
38:52
to
38:53
me
38:54
was
38:54
just
38:54
doing
38:54
it.
38:55
Okay.
38:56
Actually
38:57
just
38:57
completing
38:57
it
38:57
because
38:58
like
38:58
I
38:58
said,
38:58
my
38:59
first
38:59
book
38:59
was
38:59
published
39:00
through
39:00
a
39:00
publishing
39:01
company,
39:01
so
39:01
it
39:01
was
39:01
like
39:02
doing
39:02
it
39:02
myself
39:02
and
39:03
then
39:03
doing
39:03
everything
39:04
that
39:04
they
39:04
did
39:05
based
39:05
on
39:06
just
39:06
going
39:06
through
39:06
with
39:07
them.
39:07
When
39:07
you
39:08
complete
39:08
your
39:08
first
39:08
book
39:09
alone,
39:10
it's,
39:10
oh,
39:10
you
39:11
did
39:11
it.
39:11
So
39:11
regardless
39:11
if
39:11
it
39:12
sells
39:12
or
39:12
not,
39:12
it's
39:12
like
39:12
you
39:13
still.
39:13
That's
39:13
still
39:13
a
39:13
big
39:13
accomplishment.
39:15
Absolutely.
39:16
So
39:16
that
39:16
was
39:16
the
39:16
success
39:16
part.
39:17
When.
39:17
Now
39:17
I
39:18
just.
39:18
When
39:18
a
39:18
book
39:19
came
39:19
out,
39:19
I
39:19
just
39:20
knew
39:20
to
39:20
go
39:20
and
39:21
be
39:21
a
39:21
part
39:21
of
39:21
the
39:22
book
39:22
fairs
39:22
and
39:23
make
39:23
the
39:23
connections
39:24
with
39:24
the
39:24
libraries
39:24
and
39:25
the
39:25
schools
39:25
and
39:25
things
39:26
of
39:26
that
39:26
nature.
39:27
And
39:27
I
39:27
just
39:27
really
39:27
put
39:28
myself
39:28
out
39:28
there.
39:29
But
39:29
the
39:29
financial
39:30
part
39:30
wasn't
39:31
the
39:31
stuff.
39:31
For
39:31
me,
39:32
the
39:32
success
39:32
was
39:33
I
39:33
did
39:33
it
39:34
on
39:34
my
39:34
own.
39:35
Take
39:35
us
39:35
to
39:36
your
39:36
upcoming
39:37
book.
39:38
Here's
39:38
the
39:39
success
39:39
of
39:39
your
39:40
first
39:40
book.
39:40
I
39:40
did
39:41
it.
39:41
Take
39:42
us
39:42
to
39:42
your
39:42
expectations
39:43
of
39:43
success
39:44
for
39:44
your
39:44
next
39:45
book.
39:46
My
39:46
next
39:46
expectation
39:47
is
39:47
really
39:47
to
39:49
my.
39:49
My
39:49
expectation
39:50
for
39:50
success
39:50
is
39:51
really
39:51
to
39:51
be
39:52
like
39:53
a
39:53
New
39:53
York's
39:53
best
39:53
time
39:54
seller,
39:54
to
39:55
be
39:55
honest.
39:55
But
39:56
like
39:56
I
39:56
said.
39:56
But
39:57
that's
39:57
going
39:57
to
39:57
come
39:57
with,
39:57
really
39:58
with
39:58
a
39:58
lot
39:58
of
39:58
marketing
39:59
and
39:59
that's
39:59
going
39:59
to
39:59
come
39:59
with
40:00
the
40:00
publicism
40:00
and
40:01
things
40:01
of
40:01
that
40:01
nature.
40:02
So
40:02
that's
40:02
where
40:02
I'm
40:02
at
40:03
now
40:03
within
40:03
my
40:03
career
40:04
when
40:04
it
40:04
comes
40:04
to
40:04
basically
40:05
just
40:05
expanding
40:05
and
40:05
making
40:06
sure
40:06
that
40:06
my
40:06
book
40:06
is.
40:07
Is
40:07
talked
40:08
about
40:08
within
40:08
the
40:08
right
40:08
rooms.
40:09
Right.
40:09
Okay.
40:11
And
40:11
then
40:11
just
40:11
making
40:11
sure
40:12
that
40:12
when
40:12
it
40:12
comes
40:12
to
40:12
awards
40:13
and
40:13
making
40:13
sure
40:13
that
40:13
my
40:14
books
40:14
are
40:14
being
40:14
recognized,
40:14
like,
40:15
for
40:15
example,
40:15
I
40:15
have
40:15
a
40:16
total
40:16
of.
40:17
Was
40:17
it
40:17
10,
40:17
11
40:18
books.
40:18
How
40:18
many
40:19
books
40:19
I
40:19
have,
40:20
I
40:20
have
40:20
won
40:20
eight
40:21
awards,
40:21
but
40:21
those.
40:23
I've
40:23
done
40:23
them.
40:23
I
40:23
just
40:24
won
40:24
the
40:24
Dragonfly
40:25
Award.
40:25
I
40:25
won
40:25
three
40:26
Dragonfly
40:26
Awards
40:27
last
40:27
week,
40:28
so.
40:28
Wow.
40:29
But
40:30
that
40:30
comes
40:30
from
40:30
me
40:31
putting
40:31
myself
40:31
out
40:31
there
40:31
on
40:32
the
40:32
line
40:32
and
40:32
just
40:32
basically
40:33
just,
40:33
hey,
40:34
I'm
40:35
here
40:35
because
40:35
you
40:35
can
40:35
write
40:36
the
40:36
book.
40:36
I
40:37
could
40:37
write
40:37
the
40:37
book.
40:37
And
40:37
that's
40:38
the
40:38
success
40:38
part
40:38
because
40:39
I
40:39
did
40:39
it.
40:40
But
40:41
it's
40:41
only
40:41
Success
40:42
to
40:42
me.
40:42
Like,
40:42
I
40:42
want
40:43
everyone
40:43
else
40:43
to
40:43
see
40:43
my
40:44
success
40:44
and
40:44
be
40:44
able
40:44
to
40:45
enjoy
40:45
it
40:45
as
40:45
well.
40:46
Right.
40:47
Have
40:47
you
40:47
put
40:48
those
40:48
on
40:48
your
40:48
website?
40:49
I
40:50
have
40:50
not
40:50
put
40:50
those
40:50
on
40:51
my
40:51
website
40:51
yet.
40:51
I'm
40:52
going
40:52
to
40:52
put
40:52
it
40:52
on
40:52
my
40:52
website.
40:52
Like
40:53
I
40:53
said,
40:53
I
40:53
just
40:53
won
40:54
last
40:54
week,
40:54
like,
40:55
a
40:55
couple
40:55
days
40:55
ago.
40:55
They
40:55
really
40:56
just
40:56
sent
40:56
me
40:56
over
40:56
my
40:56
certificate
40:57
and
40:57
my
40:57
field
40:58
today.
40:59
Okay.
40:59
Okay.
41:00
Everything
41:00
is
41:00
just
41:00
coming
41:01
so
41:01
fast.
41:01
But
41:01
prior
41:02
to
41:02
that,
41:02
like,
41:02
I.
41:02
Like
41:03
last
41:03
month,
41:04
I
41:04
want
41:04
to
41:04
say
41:04
last
41:04
month
41:05
I
41:05
want,
41:05
like,
41:05
the
41:05
book
41:06
X
41:06
nor
41:06
I
41:06
want
41:07
a
41:07
Mom
41:07
Choice
41:07
Award,
41:08
like,
41:08
so
41:08
many
41:08
times.
41:09
So
41:10
those
41:11
are
41:11
things
41:11
that,
41:11
you
41:12
know,
41:12
those
41:13
are
41:13
things
41:13
that
41:13
I
41:13
do
41:13
to
41:13
try
41:13
to
41:13
make
41:14
myself
41:14
stand
41:14
out.
41:14
Because
41:14
when
41:15
you're
41:15
going
41:15
in
41:15
front
41:15
of
41:15
these
41:16
publishing
41:16
companies
41:17
or
41:17
when
41:17
you're
41:17
going
41:17
to
41:18
these
41:18
book
41:18
fairs
41:18
and
41:19
you
41:19
have
41:19
these
41:19
seals
41:19
on
41:20
there,
41:20
people
41:20
are
41:21
fascinated
41:21
by
41:21
stickers.
41:22
That's
41:22
amazing.
41:25
I'm
41:25
also
41:25
curious
41:26
about
41:26
the
41:26
role
41:27
of
41:27
writing
41:27
and
41:28
with
41:28
your
41:29
experience,
41:30
what
41:30
does
41:30
it
41:30
mean
41:32
to
41:32
you
41:33
in
41:33
your
41:33
life,
41:33
like,
41:34
the
41:34
grand
41:34
scheme
41:34
of
41:35
things
41:35
now?
41:36
So
41:36
what
41:37
does
41:37
it
41:37
mean
41:37
to
41:37
you
41:38
being
41:38
a
41:38
children's
41:38
book
41:39
author
41:39
in
41:40
your
41:40
life?
41:40
Like,
41:40
how
41:41
does
41:41
it
41:41
affect
41:41
your
41:41
total
41:42
life
41:42
now?
41:44
Well,
41:44
me
41:44
being
41:44
a
41:44
children's
41:45
book
41:45
author,
41:45
I
41:45
am
41:46
very
41:46
cautious
41:47
in
41:47
regards
41:47
to
41:49
what
41:50
I
41:51
put
41:52
into
41:52
the
41:52
world.
41:53
Okay.
41:54
When
41:54
it
41:54
comes
41:55
to
41:55
how
41:55
I
41:56
write,
41:56
when
41:56
it
41:56
comes
41:57
to
41:57
how
41:57
I
41:57
carry
41:57
myself,
41:58
when
41:58
it
41:58
comes
41:58
to
41:58
what
41:58
I
41:58
engage
41:59
in,
42:00
when
42:00
it
42:00
comes
42:00
to
42:00
just
42:01
being
42:01
a
42:01
positive
42:02
image
42:02
for
42:02
children,
42:03
the
42:03
life
42:03
that
42:03
I
42:04
put
42:04
out
42:04
in
42:04
my
42:04
books,
42:04
I
42:05
try
42:05
to
42:05
make
42:05
sure
42:05
that's
42:06
my
42:06
real
42:06
life,
42:06
like,
42:06
live
42:07
along
42:07
those
42:07
lines.
42:07
So
42:07
anything
42:08
I
42:08
write
42:08
about
42:08
that
42:08
positivity,
42:09
I
42:09
try
42:09
to
42:09
make
42:10
sure
42:10
that
42:11
I'm
42:11
aligning
42:11
with
42:12
what
42:12
I'm
42:12
writing.
42:12
So
42:12
it's
42:13
not.
42:13
It
42:13
doesn't.
42:13
It's
42:14
not.
42:14
You're
42:14
following,
42:15
right?
42:15
Yeah,
42:15
absolutely.
42:16
Yeah.
42:16
When
42:17
I
42:17
look
42:17
at
42:17
all
42:17
your
42:17
titles,
42:18
I
42:18
love
42:18
the
42:18
picture
42:19
of
42:19
you
42:19
and
42:19
your
42:19
daughter
42:20
together.
42:21
That's.
42:22
And
42:23
you
42:23
know
42:23
what
42:23
I
42:23
feel
42:23
like
42:24
you
42:24
feel
42:24
like
42:25
with
42:25
my
42:25
five
42:25
grandchildren,
42:26
and
42:27
we're.
42:27
And
42:27
we've
42:28
done
42:28
this
42:28
book
42:29
authorship
42:29
together,
42:30
and
42:30
it's
42:30
a
42:30
lot
42:30
of
42:31
fun.
42:31
And
42:31
you
42:31
know
42:31
What?
42:32
We've
42:32
written
42:33
38
42:33
books
42:34
now.
42:34
I
42:34
can't.
42:35
It's
42:36
going
42:36
to
42:36
take
42:36
us
42:36
a
42:36
while
42:36
to
42:37
get
42:37
all
42:37
those
42:37
published.
42:38
But
42:38
what
42:39
we
42:39
have
42:39
done,
42:40
which
42:40
is
42:40
fun,
42:41
is
42:41
because
42:41
I
42:42
have
42:42
the
42:42
audio
42:43
equipment.
42:44
We
42:44
actually
42:45
have
42:46
made
42:47
more
42:47
than
42:47
half
42:48
of
42:48
our
42:48
books
42:48
into
42:48
audiobooks.
42:50
And
42:51
so
42:51
it's
42:52
fun
42:52
catching
42:52
their
42:52
young
42:53
voices
42:53
and
42:54
taking
42:54
the
42:54
stories.
42:55
And
42:55
at
42:55
least
42:55
we've
42:56
done
42:56
that.
42:56
And
42:57
it's
42:57
something
42:57
to
42:58
have.
42:58
And
42:58
I
42:58
just
42:58
love
42:58
the
42:59
idea
42:59
of
43:00
you
43:00
working
43:01
with
43:01
your
43:01
daughter.
43:02
And
43:03
down
43:04
the
43:04
road
43:05
it'll
43:05
be
43:05
interesting
43:06
what
43:06
she
43:07
does
43:07
for
43:07
her
43:07
life.
43:08
Yeah,
43:09
that's
43:09
very
43:09
true.
43:10
In
43:10
regards
43:11
to
43:11
you
43:11
and
43:11
your
43:11
38
43:12
books
43:12
that
43:12
need
43:12
to
43:12
be
43:12
illustrated,
43:13
if
43:13
you
43:14
want
43:14
some
43:14
illustration,
43:14
you're
43:15
more
43:15
than
43:15
welcome
43:15
to
43:15
bring
43:16
them
43:16
on
43:16
over
43:16
here.
43:17
Okay,
43:17
thank
43:17
you
43:18
for
43:18
that.
43:18
Awesome.
43:20
I'm
43:20
also
43:20
interested
43:21
in
43:23
what
43:23
would
43:23
you
43:23
say
43:24
is
43:24
your
43:25
typical
43:25
time
43:26
that
43:26
you
43:27
would
43:27
devote
43:27
to
43:28
just
43:28
writing
43:29
and
43:29
creating
43:30
versus
43:31
the
43:31
sales
43:32
and
43:32
marketing,
43:33
distribution
43:33
side
43:34
of
43:34
your
43:34
book
43:34
business?
43:36
At
43:36
night.
43:37
At
43:37
night.
43:38
Okay.
43:39
At
43:39
night
43:39
or
43:40
when
43:40
I'm
43:40
home
43:40
alone.
43:41
Okay.
43:42
So
43:42
it's
43:43
once
43:43
you've
43:44
tucked
43:44
your
43:44
daughter
43:44
to
43:45
bed,
43:47
then
43:47
away
43:47
the
43:48
brain
43:48
goes.
43:49
Yeah,
43:49
So
43:50
I
43:50
write
43:50
better.
43:51
Like
43:51
if
43:51
I'm
43:51
going
43:52
to
43:52
write,
43:52
like,
43:53
not
43:53
just
43:53
like
43:53
writing
43:54
randomly.
43:54
I
43:55
write
43:55
better
43:55
at
43:55
night.
43:56
Maybe
43:56
like
43:56
around
43:57
2,
43:57
3,
43:57
4
43:58
in
43:58
the
43:58
morning.
43:58
I
43:58
write
43:58
better
43:58
at
43:59
night.
43:59
Wow.
43:59
Good
44:00
for
44:00
you.
44:00
Holy
44:01
jumping
44:02
advice
44:03
for
44:03
aspiring
44:05
authors.
44:07
What
44:07
kind
44:08
of
44:08
advice
44:08
would
44:09
you
44:09
give
44:10
someone
44:10
just
44:11
starting
44:11
out
44:11
who
44:13
hasn't
44:13
even
44:13
brought
44:14
their
44:14
first
44:14
book
44:15
into
44:16
the
44:16
world?
44:17
Just
44:17
do
44:18
it.
44:18
The
44:18
first
44:19
step
44:19
is
44:19
writing
44:19
it.
44:21
The
44:21
very
44:21
first
44:21
step
44:22
is
44:22
writing
44:22
it.
44:22
Don't
44:23
worry
44:23
about
44:23
how
44:23
it
44:24
looks
44:24
in
44:25
its
44:25
draft
44:25
format
44:26
because
44:26
it's
44:26
just
44:27
a
44:27
draft.
44:28
And
44:28
just
44:28
write
44:29
it.
44:29
You
44:30
never
44:30
know
44:30
what's
44:31
going
44:31
to
44:31
come
44:31
about
44:31
it.
44:32
You
44:32
can
44:32
have
44:32
a
44:32
New
44:32
York
44:32
Best
44:33
Times
44:33
seller
44:34
or
44:34
you
44:34
can
44:35
have
44:35
a
44:36
dream
44:36
that
44:36
never
44:36
came
44:37
true.
44:37
Encouragement
44:38
for
44:39
readers.
44:39
Because
44:40
you
44:40
know
44:40
what?
44:40
At
44:40
the
44:40
end
44:40
of
44:41
the
44:41
day,
44:41
if
44:41
we
44:41
don't
44:42
have
44:42
readers
44:42
for
44:42
our
44:43
children's
44:43
books,
44:44
we
44:45
really.
44:46
Then
44:47
you're
44:47
talking
44:47
to
44:48
empty
44:49
air.
44:50
What
44:50
would
44:50
you.
44:51
Why
44:51
would
44:51
you
44:51
encourage
44:52
them
44:52
to
44:52
buy
44:53
your
44:53
books?
44:55
With
44:55
my
44:56
books.
44:56
I
44:56
write
44:57
books
44:57
about
44:59
realistic.
45:00
I
45:00
write
45:00
books
45:00
about
45:01
things
45:01
that
45:01
go
45:01
in
45:01
the
45:01
world,
45:02
but
45:02
I
45:02
write
45:02
it
45:03
from
45:03
a
45:03
kid's
45:03
perspective.
45:03
I
45:04
make
45:04
sure
45:04
all
45:04
my
45:04
books
45:04
are
45:04
fun.
45:05
I
45:05
make
45:05
sure
45:05
they're
45:05
true.
45:06
If
45:06
you
45:06
want
45:06
a
45:06
book
45:07
that
45:07
is
45:08
child
45:09
friendly
45:09
or
45:09
kid
45:10
friendly,
45:10
but
45:10
it
45:10
also
45:12
things
45:12
that
45:12
are
45:12
actually
45:12
happening
45:13
in
45:13
the
45:13
world,
45:13
I
45:13
am
45:13
the
45:13
perfect
45:14
author
45:14
for
45:14
you.
45:15
And
45:16
because,
45:17
yeah,
45:17
life
45:18
is
45:18
not
45:19
one.
45:20
Blue
45:20
fish,
45:20
gray
45:20
fish,
45:21
orange
45:21
fish,
45:21
blue
45:22
fish.
45:22
Isn't
45:22
that
45:22
how
45:22
it
45:22
goes?
45:23
The
45:23
Cat
45:23
in
45:23
the
45:23
Head
45:23
book?
45:24
No,
45:24
no.
45:25
But
45:25
life
45:26
isn't
45:26
like
45:26
that.
45:26
So
45:27
I
45:27
don't
45:27
write
45:27
those
45:27
type
45:27
of
45:28
books.
45:28
I
45:28
write
45:28
books
45:28
about
45:29
real
45:29
life
45:29
things.
45:30
Yes,
45:31
I
45:31
noticed
45:32
you
45:32
have
45:32
so
45:32
many
45:33
titles
45:34
and
45:34
I
45:34
always
45:34
wonder,
45:35
okay,
45:35
how
45:35
did.
45:36
Was
45:36
there
45:37
certain
45:37
people
45:37
that
45:38
inspired
45:38
you
45:39
for
45:39
each
45:39
one
45:39
of
45:40
your
45:40
books?
45:41
Or
45:41
it
45:41
was
45:42
just
45:42
came
45:42
to
45:43
you?
45:43
It
45:43
just
45:43
came
45:44
to
45:44
me.
45:45
It
45:45
just
45:46
came
45:46
to
45:46
me.
45:46
Like,
45:46
for
45:46
example,
45:47
like
45:47
I
45:47
said,
45:47
me
45:47
and
45:48
mommy's
45:48
adventures,
45:49
those
45:49
are
45:49
places
45:49
that
45:50
me
45:50
and
45:50
my
45:50
daughter
45:50
have
45:50
traveled
45:51
to.
45:51
Supermoon.
45:52
That
45:52
book
45:53
is
45:53
about
45:53
single
45:53
mothers.
45:53
I'm
45:53
a
45:54
single
45:54
mother,
45:54
so
45:54
it's
45:54
okay.
45:54
I'm
45:54
speaking
45:55
about
45:55
myself,
45:55
but
45:55
I'm
45:55
also
45:55
speaking
45:56
about
45:56
other
45:56
single
45:56
moms.
45:57
For
45:57
sure.
45:57
The
45:57
Essential
45:58
Workers.
45:58
That
45:58
book
45:59
is
45:59
about
45:59
doing
45:59
COVID
46:00
19.
46:01
I
46:01
traveled
46:01
the
46:01
Alphabet.
46:02
That
46:02
was
46:02
just
46:02
an
46:02
Alphabet
46:03
book
46:03
that
46:03
I
46:03
wrote.
46:03
However,
46:04
it
46:04
just
46:04
correlated
46:05
with
46:05
me
46:05
because
46:06
I
46:06
lived
46:06
in
46:06
Europe,
46:07
so
46:07
I
46:07
was
46:07
able
46:07
to
46:07
give
46:07
some
46:08
type
46:08
of
46:08
history
46:08
about
46:08
it.
46:09
I'm
46:09
the
46:09
boy
46:10
in
46:10
the
46:10
wheelchair
46:10
when
46:11
I
46:11
go
46:11
into
46:11
the
46:11
VA
46:12
and
46:12
I
46:12
see
46:12
my
46:12
veterans
46:13
is
46:13
okay
46:13
every.
46:14
I
46:14
guess,
46:14
in
46:14
a
46:15
sense,
46:15
like
46:15
all
46:15
my
46:15
books
46:16
relate
46:16
back
46:16
to
46:17
me
46:17
in
46:17
some
46:17
way.
46:18
So
46:18
they
46:18
have
46:18
a
46:18
grain
46:19
of
46:19
truth
46:19
somewhere
46:20
in
46:20
there.
46:20
Yeah,
46:21
you
46:22
cover
46:23
a
46:23
full
46:23
spectrum.
46:24
Just
46:24
so
46:24
people
46:25
know.
46:25
Like
46:25
my
46:26
special
46:26
father,
46:27
super
46:28
mom.
46:28
I
46:29
travel
46:29
the
46:29
alphabets,
46:30
which
46:30
I
46:30
love
46:31
the
46:31
title,
46:31
the
46:32
Essential
46:32
Workers.
46:33
Like
46:33
you
46:33
said,
46:34
the
46:34
20
46:34
sheep
46:35
blended
46:36
family.
46:36
Love
46:37
my
46:37
day
46:37
with
46:38
dad.
46:38
So
46:39
I
46:39
noticed
46:39
there's
46:39
a
46:39
couple
46:40
of
46:40
dad
46:41
themes.
46:42
Talk
46:42
to
46:42
us
46:42
about
46:43
that.
46:44
So
46:44
the
46:45
first
46:45
book
46:45
that
46:45
I
46:45
had
46:46
written
46:46
was
46:47
my
46:47
Sexual
46:48
Father.
46:48
And
46:48
that
46:48
book
46:48
was
46:49
basically
46:49
me
46:49
was
46:50
basically
46:50
me
46:51
giving
46:51
stepfathers
46:52
their
46:52
flowers.
46:53
Because
46:53
there
46:53
are
46:53
a
46:53
lot
46:53
of
46:53
men
46:54
that
46:54
step
46:54
up
46:54
for
46:54
children
46:55
that
46:55
are
46:55
not
46:55
theirs
46:56
and
46:56
they
46:56
don't
46:56
get
46:56
the
46:56
same
46:57
type
46:57
of
46:57
recognition.
46:57
That's
46:58
where
46:58
that
46:58
came
46:58
from.
46:59
My
46:59
day
46:59
with
47:00
dad
47:00
really
47:00
was
47:00
just
47:02
a
47:02
book
47:02
that
47:02
I
47:02
wrote
47:03
for
47:03
fathers
47:03
because
47:03
they
47:03
say
47:04
I
47:04
don't
47:04
write
47:04
any
47:04
book
47:04
for
47:05
fathers.
47:07
So
47:07
I
47:07
didn't
47:07
make
47:07
sense.
47:08
But.
47:09
But
47:09
it
47:09
also
47:09
shows
47:09
the
47:10
positive
47:10
light
47:10
when
47:10
it
47:10
comes
47:11
to
47:11
fathers,
47:11
especially
47:12
when
47:12
it
47:12
comes
47:12
to
47:12
African
47:13
American
47:13
fathers,
47:13
to
47:13
be
47:13
exact.
47:14
Because
47:14
society
47:14
can
47:15
have
47:15
whatever
47:15
stigma
47:15
that
47:15
it
47:16
has
47:16
when
47:16
it
47:16
comes
47:16
to
47:16
African
47:17
American
47:17
fathers.
47:18
That's
47:18
what
47:18
came
47:19
into
47:19
play.
47:20
And
47:20
every
47:20
book
47:20
is
47:21
just
47:21
different
47:21
blended
47:22
family.
47:22
That
47:22
book
47:22
is
47:23
one
47:23
of
47:23
the
47:23
books
47:23
that
47:23
just
47:23
won
47:23
the
47:24
award,
47:24
the
47:24
Dragonfly
47:25
Award
47:26
from
47:26
the
47:26
Story
47:27
Monsters.
47:27
I'm
47:27
not
47:28
sure
47:28
if
47:28
you're
47:28
aware
47:28
of
47:28
that
47:28
award.
47:29
Yeah,
47:29
Story
47:29
Monsters.
47:30
They
47:30
have
47:30
awarded
47:31
the
47:31
Dragonfly
47:32
and
47:32
it's.
47:33
I
47:33
want
47:33
to
47:33
say
47:33
they
47:33
have
47:34
three
47:34
award
47:34
categories
47:35
or
47:35
whatever,
47:35
but
47:35
like
47:36
I
47:36
said,
47:36
I
47:36
won
47:36
three.
47:36
I
47:36
won
47:37
three
47:37
out
47:37
of
47:37
the
47:37
three
47:37
categories
47:38
out
47:38
of
47:38
that
47:39
award
47:39
category.
47:39
Wow.
47:40
This.
47:40
That's
47:40
fantastic.
47:42
I
47:42
just
47:42
love
47:43
how
47:43
you've
47:43
able
47:44
to
47:44
have
47:44
to
47:45
have
47:45
such
47:45
a
47:45
broad
47:46
spectrum.
47:48
It's
47:49
incredible.
47:49
Your
47:50
mind
47:50
just
47:50
be.
47:50
Must
47:51
be
47:51
going
47:51
like
47:51
a
47:52
mile
47:52
a
47:52
minute.
47:53
I
47:54
love
47:54
it.
47:55
Final
47:55
thoughts.
47:56
I'm
47:57
interested
47:57
in.
47:57
Is
47:58
there
47:58
something
47:59
that
47:59
you
47:59
said,
47:59
you
47:59
know
48:00
what?
48:00
Because
48:01
you're
48:01
such
48:01
a
48:01
prolific
48:02
writer,
48:02
is
48:02
there
48:03
something
48:03
you
48:03
say.
48:04
I
48:04
wish
48:04
Rick
48:04
would
48:05
have
48:05
asked
48:05
me
48:05
that
48:06
question.
48:06
Is
48:06
there
48:07
something
48:07
that
48:08
I
48:08
should
48:08
have
48:08
asked
48:09
you
48:09
that.
48:09
I
48:09
didn't
48:11
think
48:11
so.
48:11
I
48:11
think
48:11
you
48:12
have
48:12
covered
48:12
every
48:13
basis
48:14
when
48:14
it
48:14
comes
48:14
to
48:15
questions,
48:15
especially
48:16
when
48:16
it
48:16
comes
48:16
to
48:16
new
48:17
writers
48:17
and
48:17
giving
48:17
them
48:18
advice
48:18
and
48:18
giving
48:18
them
48:19
feedback
48:19
and
48:20
any
48:20
type
48:20
of
48:20
clarity
48:20
needed
48:21
to
48:21
get
48:21
in
48:21
the
48:21
business.
48:23
I
48:24
want
48:24
to
48:24
thank
48:24
you
48:24
so
48:24
much
48:24
for
48:25
being
48:25
a
48:25
guest
48:25
on
48:26
the
48:26
Adventures
48:27
in
48:27
the
48:27
Heart
48:27
of
48:27
Children's
48:28
Book
48:28
Authors.
48:29
Your
48:29
generosity
48:30
of
48:31
time,
48:32
especially
48:33
the
48:33
insights
48:34
like
48:35
you
48:35
have
48:35
no
48:35
idea
48:36
what
48:36
it
48:36
means.
48:37
You're
48:37
such
48:37
a
48:38
well
48:38
of
48:38
wealth.
48:39
A
48:39
well
48:39
of
48:39
wealth.
48:40
There
48:40
you
48:40
go.
48:42
You
48:42
have
48:42
so
48:42
much
48:42
to
48:43
share
48:43
and
48:43
that's
48:44
what
48:44
I
48:44
hope
48:44
to
48:44
do
48:45
from
48:45
the
48:45
show
48:45
is
48:45
share
48:47
so
48:47
people
48:47
get
48:48
inspired
48:48
that
48:49
they
48:49
can
48:49
do
48:50
it.
48:50
And
48:50
like
48:50
you
48:51
said,
48:51
you
48:51
need
48:51
to
48:51
take
48:52
action
48:52
and
48:52
that's
48:53
the
48:53
first
48:53
thing.
48:53
So
48:54
I'm
48:54
glad
48:54
you
48:54
mentioned
48:55
that.
48:56
And
48:56
I
48:56
promise
48:57

48:58
