The Story behind the Book: Mommy Poisoned Our House Guest (CB Leaver)

 


Today's back story is about the book, Mommy Poisoned Our House Guest by Shenan (CB) Leaver with Betty Lou Leaver.

From the co-author:

CB Leaver, the author, is a mentally challenged CHARGE Syndrome adult who never learned to read or write. His mother, Betty Lou Leaver, a highly published author, who wanted her son to understand the purpose of the written word: sharing thoughts and/or information with others. It took a full year of working together to put CB's remembered stories on paper, to check that they had been accurately transcribed. CB learned a lot about the written word both in the process of writing and in getting feedback from pre-publication readers of the manuscript.

CB subsequently did a book signing at the Los Angeles Book Fair. He had a great time learning about reader reactions to his book. He was also adept at using his people skills and humor to draw readers to his booth.
