1. Harold D. Underdown Guests This Week on Book Bites for Kids

Idiot's guideIf you have questions about writing and publishing for children, this week is your chance to get answers to those questions.

All this week, Harold D. Underdown will be the guest on Book Bites for Kids, every afternoon at 2:00 central time on blogtalkradio.com.

Underdown is a children’s book editor, working as a consulting editor at present. Previously, he was Vice President and Editorial Director at ipicturebooks. Before that, he was editorial director of the Charlesbridge trade program, and he has also worked at Orchard Books and Macmillan. Underdown is the author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Publishing Children’s Books, now in its third edition. He speaks at conferences, provides editorial services to publishers and authors, and maintains an informative web site about children’s publishing called The Purple Crayon.

Today (Tuesday) Underdown will talk to Book Bites for Kids host, Suzanne Lieurance, about who he is and what he does, plus he’ll give plenty of information about writing and publishing for children.

On Wednesday he’ll cover basic information any writer needs to know to get started as a children’s writer.

On Thursday, he’ll discuss what happens after a writer signs a contract with a publisher and what it is like working with a publisher.

On Friday, he’ll talk about what’s going on right now in the world of children’s publishing. All this, and much, much more!

2. Double Dating with the Dead by Karen Kelley

Typical fluff fare.  Girl who can see ghosts and Boy who doesn’t believe her get into a sparring match and are spurred on by publicists to live in a supposedly haunted hotel for two weeks together.  Let the steaminess begin!  This is pretty typical fare and while I was not disappointed, I was also not overly impressed.  You can guess what happens when they start living there.  Sparks fly between the two of them and before you know it they are doing a tango in the sheets.  And of course there are lots of heated arguments because each believes they are right about the whole ghost thing.  Suffice it to say that our darling boy learns that there are ghosts and all ends happily.
