About the book: The
respiratory system is busy 24 hours a day, while we are awake and asleep. In
fact, unless we are out of breath, we might not even know our lungs are on the
job. The rhymes and learning activities plus the terrific illustrations by
Eugene Ruble will help you learn the basics about how the respiratory system
works.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>What was the inspiration for this book?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bill: Good
question. By the way, thanks for
extending this interview opportunity.
As part of THE SUM OF OUR PARTS series, this particular book was
inspired literally by the huffing and puffing while doing everyday stuff. The series started out as a single book: “No
Bones About It” published in 2009. As it turns out, although hardly
planned, that first book formed the structural
foundation for the rest of the series.
So you could say the series has good bones and with Book Seven, it is
catching its breath. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>What is your favorite moment from the book?</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bill: I’ll have to
think about this question because the books in the series don’t actually tell a
story. Also, if there is a Main
Character, it would be the Respiratory System which is the subject of the
book. That said, I do have a couple
favorite verses to share with you. You
may notice the strong leading syllable in each line and the staccato, rap feel
to the verses. When writing these kinds
of rhyming verses, pretty much the possibilities are endless, which makes it
both challenging and loads of fun.</div>

Bill: No. “The Ins

books covering most of the body’s major structures and systems, basically from
head to toes. Also, four of my fiction
stories have been published. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Overall, I’m just a normal person
with a slightly wacky view of words and how they fit together, although I
suppose there is a remote possibility that I am indeed a wacky person. I was a nomad for the first 38 years of my
life, moving around on five continents as a kid and later with my own
family. But for the last 28 years, I
have lived in the same house in Sacramento with my wife, Rita, of 44 years. We have two children and four grandchildren
split between California and South Carolina.
I’m an Air Force veteran, a Scout leader and a church Deacon. Some of my favorite things to do when I’m
not writing is running, backpacking in the High Sierra and sleeping on the
ground. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In addition to stories written in
rhyme, I also play around with humor and satire. I’m planning a trip to a local
fabric store to research my next humor fabrication. Then there’s that perpetual
novel waiting in the wings. Everything else has been a little this and a little
that. <o:p></o:p></div>

Bill: I have

attended when he was younger and with the Sacramento Public Library. I’m
working with the librarians at both places to do readings as part of their
on-going literacy programs. I also
donate my books to local schools and branch libraries. </div>

Some of the incidences actually happened when my family was
camping in our new motor home years ago. One night mice found an open vent the
manufacturer had not screened. I found the girl that had been sleeping on the
couch sitting outside on top of the picnic table. She said a mouse had woken
her up when its whiskers brushed her cheek. The idea was too good to ignore so
I made it into a book.</div>

As a family filled with Army, Navy, and Marine veterans, Memorial Day is special to us. My brother lost two members of his unit in Afghanistan, and in 2005 one of my high school classmates was killed in Iraq. Here are a few ways you can help your children honor those brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for the sake of freedom.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Visit a veteran's hospital. </li>
<li>Visit a veteran's cemetery and place flowers at a veteran's grave site.</li>
<li>Make a card for a serviceman or woman serving overseas.</li>
<li>Send supplies to a unit serving overseas.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Please feel free to share your ideas for ways to honor our veterans.<br />

This is a story about how people and animals bond and help
each other. A young boy, Peter, wants
to get all 48 of his cousins together for his birthday. But the planes and trains are full, so Peter
and his US cousins build a balloon. A
pilot friend helps Peter fly it to Canada to pick up Peter’s other twenty-four
cousins. Along the way, they rescue an injured goose. On their return trip, the
balloon loses its instruments and gets lost, but the goose, Sulgrave, rescues
them.<span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />

About the book: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A little girl learns about birds through the front window of
her home.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>What was the inspiration for this book? <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Each year birds build nests in my flower baskets that hang
on the front porch. It was very frustrating trying to keep both the flowers and
the birds alive. If I watered the flowers, the nest (including the eggs or
babies after they hatched) got wet. If I didn’t water the flowers, they
died. Finally, after three years of
this and figuring out how I was going to see that both survived I thought I
should write a book.</div>

About the book:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Gatsby
is an art gallery cat who jumps into famous paintings at night. When he
remembers to jump back out before sunrise, everything is fine. But sometimes,
Gatsby forgets and that’s when strange things happen to Winslow Homer’s
painting, “Snap the Whip”. Each book in the Gatsby’s Grand Adventures series
will feature a different artist’s work and will provide a biography of the
artist plus several websites about each artist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>What was the inspiration for this book?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I’m
an animal lover and an art lover so wanted to combine the two in a fun book
that would help children learn more about different artists and their
paintings.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>What is your favorite moment from the book?<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I
love it when Gatsby and the little mouse romp through the one-room schoolhouse.
It not only brings back fond memories of attending a one-room schoolhouse, but
also helps children learn a bit about a simpler way of life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">My
first book was published for teachers in 1979. The publisher in Pennsylvania
not only published the teacher’s manual, but also student workbooks and playing
cards to go with it, based on the 30 games I’d provided for learning opposites.
My most recent publication (before Gatsby) was Cracker Cow, a Narrative of
Florida History, which features Magnolia, a cracker cow whose ancestors came to
Florida with Ponce De Leon and started the whole cattle industry in that state.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I’m
a Connecticut Yankee who always wanted to travel. Since college, I’ve lived and
worked in Seattle, Washington; Labrador, Canada; Bamberg, Germany; and Canal
Zone, Panama. I’ve always enjoyed writing and have had a diverse writing
career… Wrote guidelines for starting the first special education n classes in
the Atlantic Region for Department of Defense Dependent Schools,(DODDS) wrote
stories for Ginn & Company 4<sup>th</sup> Grade Readers, wrote a monthly
column for Pacific Skipper yachting magazine, which involved interviewing
“yachties” who transited the Panama Canal, wrote newspaper and online columns
(weekly and monthly respectively), wrote a 30-page proposal to open the first
school library in the Canal Zone, edited the Federal Women’s Program
newsletter, wrote articles and stories for a variety of magazines, wrote
guidelines for a worldwide DODDS Host Nation Program, and wrote a winning essay
in the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings Writing
Contest, comparing my experiences with a pet fawn to those in The Yearling. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
