A Snoodle, The Zoodle Kidoodles, and One Happy Schmoodle

In the award-winning book “Snoodles, Kidoodles, Poodles, and Lots and Lots of Noodles,” Steven Joseph and Andy Case introduced us to a world where everyone was happy because of one man, Herbie Snoodleman, the inventor of the Snoodlemoblie, powered solely by noodles. It had replaced Sour Croodleman’s Krautmobile, which ran on sauerkraut and made everyone quite a bit cranky.
In this follow-up book, when the Zoodle Kidoodles from the planet Zoodle abduct Norman Noodle and Sally Stroodle, the Zoodle Kidoodles threaten to take all of Earth’s noodles— unless they perform the necessary brain operation on their grand leader, Cloodle the Grand Roodle, and fix their spaceship’s failing engines.
The one problem? Norman Noodle and Sally Stroodle are simple bakers. Sour Croodleman’s Prickly Peppered Purple Propulsion Powered Pickle invention is their only hope, but will he unite with Herbie Snoodleman to save the planet?
The answer is here, in this Wackadoodle Tale from Outer Space!
Interview with Steven Joseph
What is your schedule like when you’re writing a book?
Same as when I am not writing a book. I run for two hours every morning, and things get written in my head when I run. I just have to run back home and copy off my brain everything that was written.
Did you ever consider writing under a pseudonym?
No. Usually, I have a title for a book, and the chapters come afterwards! And what is wrong with my name anyway?
Have you ever gotten reader’s block?
I would call it “inspiration block”. I get inspired by something and it gets written.
Does your family support your career as a writer?
Hmmm. It depends on who you ask. If you ask my family, the answer is yes.
How many hours a day do you write?
When I write, it will be an afternoon set aside. The editing then starts. Oy. That takes longer.
If you could invite any three people for dinner, whom would you invite?
My publicist family, Dave and Desiree, and my illustrator, Andy Case. I happen to be a good cook.
Would you share something about yourself that your readers don’t know (yet)?
Wow! That presumes that my readers think they know everything about me, and I haven’t got them all together to tell them! Well. Ok. I really went into full gear writing after I spent two days in England doing psychological testing for my company, and I got grade a ONE out of TEN on creativity, ten being the most creative. I thought I should work on getting up to a TWO.
Do you try more to be original or to deliver to readers what they want?
I try more to be original because I think that is what readers want. On my next Snoodles book, it is easy to come up with a story, but it really has to have some important message/lesson, and at the same time, it has to be over the top silly and entertaining.
How do you celebrate when you finish your book?
I go out for a run with the characters in my head and just listen to them some more.
If you could be mentored by a famous author, who would it be?
I have been asked that before, but I will give a different answer this time. Barack Obama. Who can be better than that? Happy Saturday!
