Mike: Hi, Edwin.
I’m happy to have yet another Association of Rhode Island Author (ARIA)
to introduce to my Overlords fan base.
As with the others, we’re going to do an old fashioned interview. Here we go!
Mike: Edwin, please introduce yourself to my Overlords
fans with a little information about you and where you’re from.
Edwin: Hi, Mike. My name is Edwin Lionel Flynn and I am
currently the Membership Director of the Fellowship
of Elves. The Fellowship of Elves is a secret society whose members share the job
of helping and caring for Santa Claus. It is our job to help Santa spread his
magic around the world each year for every new generation to enjoy.
Mike: What are you working on these days and what’s the current
status of that project?
Edwin: I am currently helping
Santa get his staff organized for the upcoming holiday season. We are updating our behavior records, ramping
up production in the workshop, and exercising the reindeer. Most importantly, I am starting my annual Elf Fellow Recruitment Drive. Since
helping Santa is such a tremendous task, the Fellowship of Elves is always looking for highly qualified
candidates.
If you know of child that is ready to learn the
secret behind Santa’s magic and become one of Santa’s real helpers, please let
us know! Based on your recommendation,
we will gladly help your child begin the process becoming an official Elf Fellow.
Mike: Can you tell the audience what inspires you to
write?
Edwin: My goal is to help
parents foster a child’s transition from experiencing the joy of receiving to
understanding the greater joy of giving.
As a child matures into preadolescence, learning the truth about how
Santa’s Magic works is a special milestone indicating that he or she is
becoming more connected to the outside world. The Fellowship of Elves wants to help you celebrate that your
child has matured to the special age
where he or she is now old enough to learn how the kindness and generosity of
the human spirit is connected to Santa’s magic.
Mike: Any upcoming projects we should now about?
Edwin: In addition to
recruiting Elf Fellows, I am very busy
helping Santa update and compile his “Naughty and Nice List” for the upcoming
holidays. I am also helping the elves
manage their workshop inventory and restock supplies for the busy season ahead.
Mike: OK, time for some quick ones, ready? Favorite movie?
Edwin: My top pick is
definitely “Elf”, but I also enjoy Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Frosty
the Snowman.
Mike: Favorite food or dish to
make?
Edwin: One
of my favorite treats is the extra Christmas cookies Santa sneaks back to the
workshop after he delivers all his gifts to the good boys and girls. I always have a nice big mug of eggnog
waiting for Santa when he returns late Christmas eve.
Mike: Favorite place you have ever visited?
Edwin: McAdenville,
N.C. (pop. 619), it has biggest holiday
light display in the U.S., it is often
referred to as Christmas Town.
Mike: Favorite song?
Mike: Favorite book, and no it can’t be one of
yours!
Edwin: “T’was the Night Before Christmas” by Clement Clarke Moore and “How to
Talk to Santa” by Alec Greven.
Mike: Edwin, thanks for being such a good
sport! Is there anything you would like
to leave my fans with?
Edwin: If your child is ready to make the transition from the joy of receiving
to understanding the greater life-long joy of giving, he or she is ready to
become an Official Elf Fellow. Let us help you foster the joy of
giving and start a new family tradition that allows your child to help keep the
magic of Santa alive for younger siblings, friends, and future generations to
enjoy.
*Keep a
membership kit on hand and you will not be caught off guard when your child
asks the inevitable question, “Is Santa Claus real?"
Finally always remember: Small unexpected acts of kindness are the building blocks of greatness.
Start your day with a smile and see where it takes you ...
