![]() ![]() It blew his mind that even adults cried because he thought it was something only kids did. I told him sometimes even I cried, and he looked up at me and asked, “ grown ups cry too?” Later that night, I explained to him that it was totally natural to cry and that everybody does it. He walked away from the group and sat down to be by himself because he didn’t want anyone to see him cry. I could tell he was struggling with how to handle all these new emotions that were happening to him at the same time. Parker was angry at first, but then felt embarrassed and ashamed because he knew he did something wrong. It all started when my son Parker who was 6 at the time stole a soccer ball from a friend during soccer practice and his friend got upset and they fought over it. Hi Keith! Can you talk about where this story came from? And what the process was like for its creation? I hope there’s more from him, and I hope you enjoy this peek into the brain of a picture book creator. ![]() I chatted with Keith Negley, and learned a lot about this debut effort. ![]() The snappy, bold, in-your-face look at tough guys plus the snappy, bold, in-your-face look at feelings: yes. The kind folks at Flying Eye sent over a preview of this book, thinking it was right up my alley. Heads up, email subscribers: my blog took a bit of a tumble so I’m reposting what was lost in the shuffle. ![]() By Keith Negley ( Flying Eye Books, 2015) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Why is materialistic USA more law abiding than culture-laden India? Bhagat wonders. Rather, he spends more time picking out India’s faults than highlighting its positives. However, despite the off-the-cuff sounding discourse, I found quite a few good things in What Young India Wants.įor one, Bhagat doesn’t praise everything about India. An ex-banker who worked in Hong Kong before moving back to India, Bhagat has now come up with his first work of non-fiction, which may be called his ‘take on how to fix India’.īhagat’s What Young India Wants is a rambling narrative, totally different from say “ The Plan: Twelve months to renew Britain” by Douglas Carswell and Daniel Hannan, two young Conservative politicians, which had a step-by-step plan for lifting Britain up from Labour bogs to a Conservative heaven. ![]() Blessed with an amazing ability to connect with India’s youth and excellent marketing and brand-building skills, Bhagat has, to the horror of his detractors, managed to churn out one best-seller after another. Chetan Bhagat must be either the most loved and admired or the most hated writer in the Indian sub-continent. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, if you’re a KM Neuhold fan, you will understand IMMEDIATELY why I have been (very impatiently) waiting for this book. It was lovely to see characters from previous books making an appearance, and also meeting some new ones! I cannot wait to see what all the teachers get up to in AJ’s spin-off series that is coming later this year. Although the romance was definitely front and centre throughout, the other obstacles they faced, and the realisations about themselves and what they both want from the future, made the HEA feel all the sweeter. Something that particularly stood out with this novel, is the fantastic character arcs both Mitch and Charlie had. This plot point, coupled with the fact that Mitch is Charlie’s boss, injects a great level of tension for the characters. ![]() Set in a small-town, this sweet romance sees the perpetually single bar owner, Mitch, falling head over heels for his ‘straight’ bartender…who also happens to be his daughter’s ex-boyfriend.
