Welcome to my Bedroom Closet (New Podcast by Laurel Anne Hill, Author of "Heroes Arise")

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

I've started a podcast, "Welcome to my Bedroom Closet."  (The land of out-of-style dresses and dusty shoes provides favorable conditions for recording.)  Some of you have been unable to view my readings of "Reaching for Rainbows" on YouTube.  Therefore, the first entry on my audio-blog is Part One of "Reaching for Rainbows," my award-winning short story of a young girl coping with homelessness, a school assignment about Martin Luther King, and the narrow line separating reality from imagination.  "Reaching for Rainbows," published by "Lynx Eye" in 2005,  is suitable for a broad range of backgrounds and ages.  No need to wait for Martin Luther King Day.  "Reaching for Rainbows" has year-long appeal.

For YouTube users, the link to the concluding episode of "Reaching for Rainbows is as follows:

Laurel Anne Hill (Author of "Heroes Arise" Reads "Reaching for Rainbows," Part 2

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

Five years ago, I first volunteered to cook, serve and share dinner in local shelters for homeless families.  My experiences chatting with shelter residents inspired me to write two award-winning stories: "Heroes Arise" and "Reaching for Rainbows."  "Lynx Eye" published "Reaching for Rainbows" in 2005.  Several weeks ago I recorded the first part of the story to make the piece available again.  Now I've recorded Part 2.

In "Reaching for Rainbows," a ten-year-old girl copes with homelessness, a school assignment about Martin Luther King, and the narrow line separating reality from imagination.  This is a great story for a broad range of ages and backgrounds.  No need to wait for Martin Luther King Day.  This award-winning tale has inspired a number of people to reach out to homeless families and others in need.
