Hey Shelvies! On this week’s episode, we welcome award-winning author of spooky middle grade novels, Lindsay Currie. Her shelved book story begins when she walked by a little boutique hotel in her neighborhood one day. Instead of simply passing by, she decided to go in to explore and feed her curiosity. As she looked around, her creative side took over and an idea for a book came to life. But the story Lindsay would write was different from her usual genre and would eventually be shelved. For now. Because Lindsay believes that shelving a book is like Planting Legos: you can harvest pieces of it later to build a new story. Come have some fun with us as you listen to our uplifting stories, and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book!

Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode, we meet Mike Chen, acclaimed science fiction author of “Here And Now And Then” and “Vampire Weekend.” Although Mike has a degree in aerospace engineering, we soon discover that writing has always held a special place in his heart. We discuss his two shelved books, set aside mostly because of plotting issues, and the importance of great critique partners, with whom he refined his outlining skills. He also developed a method for writing that cuts his need for editing: he perfects the first act before moving on to the rest of the book (we will be trying that too!) Oh, and he may reveal how he and his partner, Sierra Godfrey, were the web developers for Jessica Sinsheimer’s famous manuscript wishlist website. That’s right, querying royalty is in the house! Come have some fun with us as you listen to this incredible story and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book!

Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode, we are joined by Steve Carman, author of MG sport fiction, including Southpaw Sully. Steve began writing his shelved book on the hour-long train ride to and from work. After querying his manuscript and getting rejections, Steve decided to reach for his true passion: sports. As a reluctant reader himself, Steve knew that a story like baseball star Jim Abbott’s would inspire new readers. And he was right! Even better, in collaboration with his publisher, Elephant’s Bookshelf Press, all the profits from the sale of his new book will be donated to the Sunshine Foundation!! Come learn how Steve believes in Failing Forward as you listen to our captivating and heartwarming stories and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book!

Hey Shelvies! On this week’s episode, we are joined by NYT bestselling author of fairytale retellings, including the Lunar Chronicles Series, Marissa Meyer. The first time Marissa attempted a fairytale retelling, she chose the Norwegian story “East of the Sun, West of the Moon,” a story which she loved. From the encouraging comments of fellow writers and her college professor, Marissa thought this could be ‘the one’ that got her published. Until she read “East” by Edith Pattou, and then even more retellings of the same story, all done very well. Feeling disheartened, Marissa shelved the book before it was even finished and moved on to other works. But now, years later, she signed a deal which will include this fairytale expanded in a way only Marissa Meyer can do Tales Retold. Come have some fun with us as you listen to our entertaining and enlightening stories, and then share your own! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book!

Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode, we meet Cliff Lewis, a debut author whose climate-themed MG book brings time travel and science together. Ever since a young Cliff Lewis played Power Rangers in the playground with his friends, he’s had a love for story. He’s also had a love for weird things, which he defines as “quirky, in a Kate Bush sort of way.” When he started writing, he knew he wanted to incorporate some of that quirkiness into his story--that’s where the Lanthorns come in. But he also added some “wild” into it, in the form of a deep-space planet and the fantastic town of Londonshire. And what resulted was a Wild, Weird, and Wonderful Cliff Lewis shelved story, which all the hosts now want to read! Stay tuned for an audio file of the first chapter of Cliff’s new book after the interview, and then share your own story! We’re looking forward to hearing about your shelved book!

Hey Shelvies! In this week’s episode we are joined by Annette Christie, author of the romantic novels “The Rehearsals” and “For Twice In My Life.” Throughout this lively interview, we learn that Annette is an author full of definitions. For example, she is a plotter (an outliner) who writes high-concept (stories with easily understandable, catchy ideas) women’s fiction (women-centered stories) with a romantic theme (as compared to pure romance.) We also discover that her first shelved book was a deconstructed love story (where the plot is reduced to its basic elements.) If you add all that together, it makes Annette not only a lovely and unique novelist, but also a Deconstructed High-Concept Plotter. Oh, and she may reveal her unexpected fear of sports. Come have some fun with us as you listen to Annette’s entertaining stories, and then share your own! We’d love to hear your shelved book story!
