Joe Hinshaw’s “In The Closet, Under The Bed” Helps Provide Tools For Children To Cope With Nighttime Fears

The sounds of an old house as it settles or the wind blowing against the window can make some very scary noises. In reality they are nothing but as a child with a pure and fertile imagination they can mean many things. Children curl up on their bed and surround themselves head to foot with their stuffed animal collection to protect them from their own monsters. The stuffed animals become children’s best friends and stand their watch successfully for many years. “In the Closet and Under the Bed” explores the time in life where a boy comes to terms with his own monsters. He is very creative in his solutions and will probably someday be very successful in business. “I hope you can spend that time curled on the bed with your own children and in the end, they can make their own peace with their own monsters.” — Joseph Hinshaw.
Hinshaw’s love for writing started when he was about 10 years old. He had started reading the Hardy Boys series purchasing them at the toy store in a nearby shopping center. Soon he had read the complete set and would check regularly for any new releases. His mother had a typewriter. It was only used for his older sister’s homework for the most part. Two doors south of their house lived his Godmother. She was a schoolteacher. She taught 1st grade. They discussed his schoolwork and his interest in the Hardy Boys. She was very interested. He started writing a children’s mystery book to surprise her but as that process continued, she became his editor, mentor and supporter. The book had somewhere around two hundred- and eighty-pages hand typed by the hunt and peck system. It took two years to finish. Hinshaw was very proud of it. He put it away for a while but one rainy day he picked it up to read it. As he read through the pages he felt like a stranger. It seemed like another hand other than his had put the words on the paper. It had to be another mind that developed the story. He felt totally separated from the book by this time. He was surprised after finishing the read through at its impact. Two months later his mother was cleaning up and did not like clutter. It was swept into her trash can and out to the curb before he knew it was missing. He was upset but swore at this time that he would write more books in his lifetime and he has.
