Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 47: Author Visit with Chad Morris and Shelly Brown
Q: What do you hope kids take away from reading The Playmakers?
Kids should learn that it is okay to fail and that resilience—persevering after a setback and trying again—leads to growth and success. The book uses sports and theater as vehicles to teach these life lessons and to encourage hope and determination in real life.
Episode 47: Author Visit with Chad Morris and Shelly Brown
Q: How do you decide what to write about next and how do you balance ideas?
They generate multiple ideas at the end of each project, prioritize the strongest options with input from their agent and publisher, and then workshop to address blind spots. Collaboration acts as a mediator to balance two perspectives, ensuring the final concept appeals to kids and remains unique.
Episode 47: Author Visit with Chad Morris and Shelly Brown
Q: What is it like to write a book together as a husband-and-wife duo?
Writing together blends plotting and spontaneity: one of them anchors with plotting while the other brings creative impulses. They often work in Google Docs so they can draft side-by-side and argue about the best path, but ultimately the process yields a stronger, more complete book even though it takes longer and can be frustrating.
Episode 47: Author Visit with Chad Morris and Shelly Brown
Q: Could you tell us about your latest book, The Playmakers?
The Playmakers follows Jax, a short but exceptionally skilled basketball player who gets cut from the team. He forms a plan with classmates who didn't make the team to prove they can beat the coach's team, while also following another character, Luke, who tries out for the school play. The story centers on resilience, teamwork, and courage, showing that perseverance can lead to recognition in unexpected ways.
Episode 44: Author Visit with Lyndsey Lewellen
Q: Lyndsey, what is your favorite ice cream topping?
I chose chocolate chips because they're a classic that pairs well with almost any ice cream, and I like the sense of a simple, dependable contrast to the more adventurous themes we discussed.
