Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.
Which time now for our community connection right here on K one the one
you crushed dye is eight thirty two, and our program is brought to you
by Arnold Moore and he Camp Funeral Home and also Tall Grass Motors. This
young lady sitting right next to me is Heidi Schultz. You might have seen
her TV and movies a little bit on the Disney Channel there and a few
other things. How are you doing. I'm good, Thank you for having
me this morning. Well, we're happy to have you. You've got you've
got a couple of books under your belt, and you've got a brand new
and that's coming out. Tell us a little bit about the new book,
all right, So I'm super excited. My new book is Little Dinky's Big
Adventure. Yeah, it's based off of a true hummingbird that was outside my
kitchen window. I got to watch this little guy grow up from before he
was hatched to leaving the nest. The book is made up of photos.
Half of the books photos I took up Dinky, and the other tells the
story of his adventure of growing up outside my kitchen window. My goodness,
sakes. This is kind of cool because you know, kids are fascinated by
animals and especially by birds because you know, they'll just watch them playing around
out in the yard and hopping around and taking off flying and says, what
are what that bird thinks? And this is just kind of a cool thing,
isn't well? And I've tried to make the book interactive, so along
with the story, I have a question on each page that a different little
animal character asks that some of them are specific to hummingbirds, so you get
some information about hummingbirds, but also to get their imagination going of if they
could fly, where would they go? Indeed, this is this is really
going to be a fun one here and just in time for back to school
and maybe a little bit of a holiday book hereative. You know now you're
going to be having a book reading and a book signing here locally, aren't
you. Yeah, So tomorrow, Saturday, August twelfth, at two pm,
I will have a book reading first where I read the story, including
the interactive parts, which I love with the kids that they give great answers.
They give funny answers at times, and that's my favorite part of the
reading. But it will be followed with a signing where people can purchase the
book from me and I will sign it to them or to whomever they choose
to have it signed to. And that's at First Baptist Church in their activities
building. Yeah, missage right downtown takes up a couple of city blocks,
that's true. We will have the building is just across from the church,
and we'll have balloons or banners things that people usually to recognize. Yes,
well, this is going to be a lot of fun. Now you're an
actress. We kind of alluded to that here earlier. Yes, tell us
a little bit about your acting career and how how book writing kind of came
along with that. That was an interesting story told. Well, I had
a fifth grade teacher who encouraged the arts very much so, and she had
me writing stories, short stories, which kind of led to my creative side
of always poetry stories acting from an early childhood age. And so the opportunity
came up to work in the acting industry work. I live in Los Angeles
and work there, and I work also as a stand in and photo double
for the show The Lincoln Lawyer, and I worked on the TV show The
Mighty Ducks as Lauren Graham's photo double and stand in. So I feel like
stories, whether they're children's stories or acting, I get to be the storyteller.
I get to show my craft in one way or another. That's amazing,
it really is. And this kind of came out, of course,
the actor's strike, but getting the book out right at this time, and
being able to come home and go on the road a little bit and you
know, sell it and have the book signings that came in in a kind
of a crucial time. It really did. I not that I am excited
about the writer's and actors strike, but it's given me the chance to travel
around. I've been going. I've just finished in Texas a bit some book
signings and readings. So this break from acting has allowed me to focus on
my book a little bit. Well, this is this is a lot of
fun. Now. Your first book was actually a holiday book, wasn't it.
Yeah, tell us a little bit about that. It's very dear to
my heart. It's called The Twelve Dreams of Christmas, and it follows a
little girl through Christmas Eve as she encounters twelve characters from the Nativity to learn
the true meaning of Christmas. Well, that's a different day. I like
that, that's completely original. And so she gets to see Christmas through twelve
sets of lines. She does, and she starts the book very much me,
me, me, what gives her under the tree for me? And
so these characters from the Nativity. Her favorite story is the Twelve Days of
Christmas, where every gift gets better, bigger. So she starts with the
Dreams, very basic, the cow, the sheep, the innkeeper, till
she gets to the end where she meets Joseph, Mary and Jesus, and
then it really starts to unfold. It hits home of what Christmas is really
about. Now, they ought to make that into a movie, you know,
somebody you know? That would be awesome. That would be because it'll
probably play for fifty sixty years on TV like some of these others have.
Because that really sounds like an eye opener. I like that one one.
Well, thank you, can you hold up the books there for the camera
because we're on Facebook Live. There you go that Stinky's Big Adventure and then
the Twelve Dreams of Christmas and these are available at bookstores all over the planet
right now, and of course she'll be the book signing for Binky's Little Dinky's
Big Adventure coming up on tomorrow at the Baptist Church the Telly this is something
We're going to take a little bit of a break here and we'll be right
back with more after these words from Arnold Bourne DeCamp Funeral Home and tall Grass
Botors on K One. I'll never forget this, called my freshman roommate.
His mother called one day and she said, Tim and I can tell about
her. Of course, something wrong, And I said what's wrong? She
said, can you get my boy home from California? He's passed away out
there. And that crushed me, but I said, I sure will,
I'll take care of it. I said, I'll figure it out. I
will get your son home. But that's what you do when your loved one
dies. Doesn't matter if it's three in the morning. You call your funeral
director and say, Tim, my loved one just died. What do I
do? And I'll tell you one of my greatest stories I could tell.
Six o'clock one Christmas morning, a lady calls me. She said, they
came over to get my aunt for Christmas breakfast and found her dad in her
home. What do we do? I said, let me get dressed.
I'll be right there and we'll just walk through this together. It's gonna be
all right. I'll take good care of her. Years later, she teld
me that was the single most comforting phrase she had ever heard. It'll be
all right. We'll walk through this together. Arnold Moore and recamp Younal Hall

with actress and author Heine Schultz, and she has her new book look out
that's called Little Dinky's Big adventure. She'll be at First Baptist Church Activities building
tomorrow and beginning at two for a book reading and a signing. And we
were talking about this. You did the photographs and you wrote the book,
but you had a little help with the illustrations. Kind of hold that out
there. Yeah, beauty. So the photos on one side are mine that
I took up Dinky. It's actually Dinky and his mama. But the illustrations
of both of my books were from a down named Amy Hudson, and I've
known her since third grade. We reconnected once we were adults, and I
knew her artwork was fantastic. And when you see the artwork, you just
are in awe of it. Oh, it really is this topshell. This
is really good And the kids are going to really like this because there's a
lot of activity in there, and as you've mentioned, interactivity because the animals
will ask a question right and everything else. So this is a good learning
tool and the dog got at the kids. All they know is that they're
having fun, which is the best part. Now, you you were telling
me that you participated in Scooby Doo when you were acting. Yes, so
I got to play Daphne's mom in a it's a series that's ongoing and because
of the strike, we are not working right now, but it's called Mysteries
Incorporated. There we go, so has the whole gang, and it was
really fun to of all of the characters, to get to play one of
the iconic one's mother. Well, you know that that's been around since I
was a little guy. Uh so you know that, like nineteen seventy I
think, yeah, when it first came out, and uh and it's still
going on in different you know, it's different forms and levels. Yes,
for sure, still having fun solving mystery. By golly, So what's the
most fun out there in the la that you're having? Is this the role
that kind of feels pretty cool? It's it's because it's so unique. Yes,
I enjoy it very much. But I think working as a standing and
double it fell in my laugh. I was not looking for that career,
and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Lincoln Lawyer. I started from day one
with them and we've now had two seasons and it's so much fun. The
cast, the crew, everyone's great to work with and clearly it's doing well
on Netflix as one of the top shows right it is, yeah, it
really is and people can you get that at their leisure and pop it in
catch up where every they need to go and they can catch you. And
of course the books are doing well and what have you. The Twelve Dreams
of Christmas is also available in bookstores now, her first book. We showed
that to you earlier, but we do want to remind everybody that we're going
to be at First Baptist Church tomorrow, First Baptist tomorrow at two pm.
