Blog Tour: In Conversation with Robbie Yates

Shalini, the girl who says loves her books finds herself loving Robbie Yates “completely”.

Robbie Yates, the Australian author to several books namely Daniel Daniels and the World’s Worst Zoo, Collected Poems, One Very Odd Teacher, The Day I Ate My Teacher, The Kooky Kids’ Club and The Yearbook, is spectacularly attention-grabbing and quirky. It’s no wonder that Shalini loves him

Shalini likes to call herself,  a blogger, a writer, a reviewer, a budding publicist, book blog tour organizer, a virtual assistant to a couple of authors, a beta reader, and a freelancing editor. On this blog, I started with reviewing books, went on to writing my thoughts and feelings, followed by book publicity, blog tours and cover reveals, and book spotlights. 

Do read up Robbie Yates and if you are anything like Shalini, you might enjoy her conversation with the great guy.

Welcome to my blog again. An honor to have you.

It’s an honor to be back!

1. Robbie, we know poems make you tick and you are a children’s author. A good one at that. Tell me how do you get ideas for a book?

Great question. Lots of my ideas come to me when I’m sitting on a train, or staring out of a window at a cafe. I make sure I write everything down. Some of my ideas are a bit ridiculous when I look at them later, but some of them are ready to be turned into a story.

2. Inspiration for OVOT? did you have any such odd teacher during your schooling?

Nope. All of my teachers were decidedly normal. I think the concept for OVOT came from the idea of a teacher acting in self-interest; that’s something that would really stand out in a school…

So far I have been independently consulted for various learning programs and have coached children in personality development. I work closely with teachers and mentors to facilitate and enhance learning opportunities for children and young adults, particularly related to communication.   My research had psycho-analytic leanings during my M Phil years. Always fascinated by the workings of the human mind,  I became involved with children in Oman, their social network and learning needs since  2001. I have loved using my maternal instinct towards my own two children and all the other children I have interacted with over 18 years. My life has been unique and gratifying.
