Chloe's Parrot People interviews continue with Linda from Parrot Adoptions Ontario

6/21/2022

We continue to celebrate the launch of Chloe the Unfeathered Parrot...please welcome Linda from Parrot Adoptions Ontario, who shares about the adoption network and tells us about some of their re-homing success stories...

Find Parrot Adoptions Ontario HERE!

Linda's second adoption success story, in her own words:

I was volunteering at the SPCA when I saw him. They had named him Kiwi.  A pathetic looking creature. A (member of the) staff came up to me and said, "The people who wanted him changed their mind...do you want him?"


I took him home. He was a mess. He was very plucked, very stressed, very anxious, and nervous. He kept rocking his body back and forth, and he kept rolling his tongue all around his mouth.

All I knew about him was that the SPCA picked him up from an abandoned apartment, he had cockroaches in his cage, black water, and fruit loops.  He had been living with dogs and cats.

We gave him a new name, a calm home, love, kindness, a good diet, and lots of attention and he is flourishing. He does not like me, but he loves my husband.

For those of you attending in person, special guests Plato (all day) and Chloe herself (after 3pm) will be there to meet you in the back room of Bampot Tea House.

I'll be in the back room, too, between readings, and you can purchase your very own copy of Chloe the Unfeathered Parrot and have me sign it...again 100% of book sale proceeds during launch day go to The Parrot Sanctuary, the wonderful people who helped Chloe and so many other beautiful parrots find their forever homes, and give the parrots a wonderful, loving home in the interim, while they wait to find their flock.

There will also be fun activity stations for the kids in the back room, too!

Interview with children's author K. A. Mulenga

Please tell me a bit about yourself—your background in writing for children and in other areas.

I am a qualified accountant but my passion has always been writing. I used to write books from an early age but life happened and it took me over 30 years to start writing again (October 2020).

Tell me about your most recent work(s)......what inspired the premises? What about your stories happen to be topical right now?

My latest book is called Drew the Dragon. All my previous books had real animals and people as the main character. I wanted to write a book with a mythical main character. It is a book about love and miracles.

What do you hope young readers, and perhaps even parents take away from your stories?

All my books have an important life lesson which kids and their parents learn from.

What are your fav scenes (and why) from one or two of your books?

I love the fairy donkey in Donk and the Stubborn Donkeys. He is so wise. I also love Chuck the Cheetah as Chuck ends up learning that you can't be a winner all the time.

Where do your ideas for stories generally come from?

I get them from my kids as well as from folk tales an proverbs, and some are based on true events.

For the other children’s writers out there in my audience, could you share a little advice on either writing or marketing children’s picture books?

It is really tough. I am still learning, but I have so much content on my self-publishing online course. It is so in-depth and covers marketing, writing etc. The link is: https://kamulengaselfpublishing.thinkific.com/

How has the current pandemic changed or shaped how you write your books? What about how you market them?

I started writing and publishing my books in 2020, so the pandemic was in full swing. So, I have no idea what it was like before the pandemic.
 
Tell me about some of your other books and projects!

I have three picture books that I am hoping to publish before the end of this month: Uni the Unicorn, Pete the Panda, and Never Give Up. I also have a middle-grade novel that is being edited at the moment, and I would like to get my memoir published before the end of the year.

What's next for you?

More marketing, more writing, and more book readings (these have dried up a bit, but I really love doing them, and hopefully this interview will get some people contacting me about virtual or on-site book readings).

Tell me something others may not know about you?

I played professional basketball in my home country of Zambia. I played for two teams over three years!

Get your copy of Drew the Dragon!
