{WHAT'S ON YOUR KINDLE?} JD WISE ON NOMOPHOBIA
Welcome to NOMOPHOBIA – A PLACE IN TIME WHERE OVERUSED CELLULAR DEVICES TURN CHILDREN INTO OGRES.
This is a somewhat true, mostly exaggerated story of modern-day children – children who have spent way too much time on their phones. One night the children are mysteriously turned into ogres. At first the children blame each other for their condition. When they finished blaming each other, they worked together to find a cure. They searched the house for a cure…but they could not find one. They tried to wash the ogre off…but it stayed on.
They had all but given up when sissy’s phone accidently falls into the fish tank. When the phone gets wet, a hidden message appears: YOU WERE TURNED INTO OGRES, BECAUSE ON THE PHONE YOU DID STAY! NOW, PUT IT AWAY AND GO OUT AND PLAY!
So the children rushed outside, where they returned to normal. That day the children learned a valuable lesson. OVERUSED CELL PHONES TURN CHILDREN INTO OGRES.
JD Wise is a West Virginian-born author who believes that the world can be changed for the better, by one person, one time, doing the right thing.

What was the inspiration behind Nomophobia? What sparked the initial idea?
I was at the doctor's office and the waiting room was packed. The nurse came in to call in a child, and the child wouldn't go in until the game that was on the phone was finished.
Can you tell us a little bit about your main characters?
The main characters in Nomophobia are modern day children. Especially children who've become addicted to their phones.
Can you describe the setting where the book takes place?
This story takes place in a typical everyday home that relates to today's modern living.
Why did you start writing children's books and do you have more children's books?
My literary journey started a few years ago with my book, A Child Called YOU. The purpose of that book was to spread kindness without judgment to everyone.
What do you believe is one of the trickiest things about writing books for children?
The trickiest thing about writing for children is obtaining the ability to hold their ever-changing interests, while focusing on the topic that I want to write about.
