“I've never been happier professionally, and it's all because of my grandson stomping on anthills in the backyard one day.” – Ron Kinscherf

Today’s featured bestselling author is a husband, grandfather, and retired IT Consultant, Ron Kinscherf. Ron and I had a fun on a bun chat about his latest book, “Adorable”, the importance of fostering a love of reading in children, creative advice for young storytellers, and more!!!

Key Things You’ll Learn:

How storytelling with his grandson led to writing bestselling books for kids

What led to one of Ron’s books being picked up by a traditional publisher

The difficulties of marketing self-published books and reaching audiences beyond his local community

How story messages emerge organically and how he generates ideas from everyday life

The importance of reading and the literacy crisis
