Jon Mayhew: The Lizard Lord Unleashed
http://jonmayhem.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-lizard-lord-unleashed.html
Reading Schemes and Non Fiction. Thursday, 5 June 2014. The Lizard Lord Unleashed. Oday is the official launch day for the second Monster Odyssey book Wrath of the Lizard Lord. For those not in the know, it involves Prince Dakkar (a young Captain Nemo), Napoleon Boneparte, Mary Anning, Journey to the Centre of the Earth and the Battle of Waterloo. Oh, and dinosaurs. I love the cover art by the super-talented Justin Goby Fields. If that cover doesn't grab your attention, then nothing will!

Reading Schemes and Non Fiction. Sunday, 8 September 2013. You Have Reached Your Destination Turn Around When Possible. Was driving back from a school event recently and found myself stuck at the back of a very long queue on the M6. After eight miles, take the exit." The SatNav said, bland and irritating. Why have I even got the SatNav ON? And then it occurred to me. I know how to get home from here WITHOUT. I looked down at the little black box clinging bat-like to my windscreen. " YOU. Tearing the SatN...

Jon Mayhew: Storytelling
http://jonmayhem.blogspot.com/p/storytelling.html
Reading Schemes and Non Fiction. In addition to writing workshops and talks, I also tell stories. These are generally traditional tales from all around the world but I do have a number of personal anecdotes and urban legends too! I tend to group my stories around a theme. Story sessions last around forty five minutes or thirty for younger children. Tales of Cyclops and fearsome beasties abound. How can puny humans defeat powerful monsters? With bravery, wits and cunning usually! If Wishes Were Fishes.

Jon Mayhew: Trying Too Hard
http://jonmayhem.blogspot.com/2014/04/trying-too-hard.html
Reading Schemes and Non Fiction. Saturday, 26 April 2014. Was on a school visit the other day, when a pupil asked me if I ever worry about running out of ideas. Was my response. "In fact, I have too many ideas and not enough time.". This is true but only to a certain extent. Another (better) analogy is Candy Gourlay's here. She describes each idea as a rabbit hole that she is staring at. She'll dive down one and explore it until she no longer wants to and then comes out and dives into another one....

Reading Schemes and Non Fiction. Monday, 16 September 2013. Old Fashioned Story, Old Fashioned Books, and Spirit Houses. Ie Booth has been a supporter of all things Mortlock from day 1 and writes a mean, creepy tale too! So when I heard she was promoting her new work, Spirit Houses, I jumped at the chance of offering her a guest blog spot:. Die’s first novel ‘Spirit Houses’, a supernatural tale of action, adventure and excellent Scotch, is out now. How far would you go for your career? When Manda’s...

Reading Schemes and Non Fiction. Friday, 10 October 2014. School librarian told me recently that she spent most of her budget on getting authors or speakers in to promote reading. "Why buy hundreds of new books just to have them sit on the shelves untouched? And so she carefully balances her finances between promotion and stock. In an ideal world, she'd have the budget for both but we don't live in an ideal world. Is that an good businessmodel? I don't believe for a second that anyone at Liverpool Counci...
