MYM Book and a Chat - Heidi Kling Chats to Barry (Storyheart) Eva

To start MYM (Male YA Month) on a Book and a Chat I was very glad to hand over the host of the show to the one and only Heidi R Kling, author of the very popular 2010 YA book "SEA".

Fighting the threat of erupting children, something I myself know about, Heidi still managed to lead the show through various questions about my book “Across the Pond” my short romance stories at http://romance2read.com and why I am running the “Male YA Author Month”.

We chatted about why the month event was set up, following a challenge from YA Auhtor Alexander Diaz (Stupid Things), and how I went about getting a list of possible authors from bloggers, then contacting the authors to see if they were interested in being on the radio show.

I went through the guest we have receiving several oo’s and aa’s from those listening in the chat room, where it seemed many of the guests were indeed popular.


I even had time to ask Heidi herself what she was working on and producing after the success of “SEA”.

The end of the show was a revise of the MYM calendar of guests, a couple of anecdotes about England, and I even managed to answer a question about some of my favorite English saying/language issues.

A Book and a Chat with Heidi R Kling

I am so pleased to finally meet up with my guest on tonight program after our missing out on our show last week. It is with a huge amount of pleasure that I was able to have a return visit from Heidi R Kling, author of the much waited for “Sea”.

I say much waited for but actually it was launched this last week, and I know from my own check with the staff of Borders where I was doing a book signing on Friday, the book has already been ordered bu many readers.

As one blogger wrote…

Sea by Heidi R. Kling is one of those books that sweeps you up and carries you away to another world when you’re not even paying attention. It’s not until much later — when you’ve practically finished the novel — that you realize how it has captured your attention.

It is a book that has been talked about and written about for months now as of last week it’s available for all.

During the show I was lucky enough to have several callers dial in to speak to Heidi, whom in her own inimitable fashion took each question in her stride, not only answering the person but adding extras to the listener’s question.

Being the second appearance by Heidi, I was able to look at some of the things we do not know about this author, including at a previous job she used to sometimes dress up in fishnets, to “Spelunking” in New Zealand.

As normal it was great to chat with Heidi, a show that all will listen and enjoy, as I spend a Sunday evening hosting “A Book and a Chat with Heidi R Kling”.

YA Month - "A Book and a Chat with Heidi R. Kling"

January is YA Radio month on A Book and a Chat, with special guest throughout the month, not only authors but bloggers as well.

Today's guest on a book and a chat was author Heidi R Kling, whose book "SEA" comes out in June. While I knew a large number of people wanted to listen and talk to Heidi little did I know just how many.

The show was full of questions either from the chat room or from people dialing in. Be it half asleep bloggers, family members, fellow writers or a neighbor Heidi had not spoken to for many years, all wanted to chat to and ask question of the fabulous author.

During the show and the questions we not only learned about Heidi and her book, but where she got the inspiration from to start writing, what gave her the idea for "SEA" even to the book she is currently working on.

A wonderful guest, Heidi handled each question or phone call without a slip, providing much incite into the writing and story of SEA but also into Heidi herself.

From the time the book took to write to the work on the books enigmatic cover, the show had it all.

I would not only like to thank Heidi for making this show the special event it was but also those who dialed in or just listened, people from 4 continents were part of today's audience and that's just the ones I know of.

As normal the show went by way to quick, an hour of entertainment covering many items that will be of interest to all ages.

To find out more listen to "YA Month - A Book and a Chat with "Heidi R. Kling"" a fun and entertaining hour about Heidi and her writing.

JANUARY 2010 YA RADIO MONTH

To start of the New Year I am as they say in the North of England, "Chuffed to little meat balls" to be hosting a YA RADIO MONTH.

Throughout January on my blog radio show "A Book and a Chat" (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Across-the-Pond on I will be hosting writers and bloggers of Young Adult Literature.

After realizing that I already had several YA Bloggers booked to appear on the show in January I thought "Why not make the whole month dedicated to YA Literature?".

I contacted several of the top YA Bloggers asking them for their top YA Authors in 2009. Not counting Julia Holban who will be making a return appearance in March, I then contacted about 10 of these writers. I am so pleased to say that every writer who returned my email was only too willing to appear on the show.

The first of these shows is on Saturday when Rhonda Stapleton author of "Stupid Cupid" will be my guest

Any way here are the full details for the month
