I think this is the first I've read of your interviews. I am interested to read others. It was fun getting to know all about another writer and his process and background. I also like the way your personality comes across in the way you write your questions - your punctuation adds pizzazz.

Thank you for saying this! I hate reading dull interviews. Oy! It's like cleaning out the cat litter box - a total chores. So I appreciate reading that you thought mine had some pizzazz.
Definitely check out Jacob's novel, too. He's fantastic!

Hello Rachelle.
Your interview with Jacob was masterfully conducted and contextualized. You provided enough background on his personal life and writing career to make him relatable, and to describe to the reader his writing style and context. This is very well done.

Thanks for interviewing Jacob. He is definately a favorite and I usualy go to his site as soon as I see his name pop up. I think I've read everything he has posted since he came back to FanStory. I really loved his last book and had read quite a few chapters of this one before he decided to revise an start over. You are a good interviewer and you introduce writers that others may not have gotten to know.

Have you ever been approached for a teevee show, like Oprah, for your interviewing skills are very good as you draw information asking questions that are informative and entertaining.

This is quite an interesting and extensive interview with Jacob Collins way over there in Jolly Old. I will take a look at his chapters here and expect to be impressed. I think your interviewing skills are in depth and totally interesting.

Thank you for interviewing Jacob. I've noted his name and book as well as his endorsements. I plan to follow up on all. Thank you.
Of course, this piece was well written - and I don't object to two interviews a week at all! smiley face here

As always, entertaining from both points of view but special kudos to the interviewer who digs to keep it going even with shorter-than expected answers! ;) We'll have to get you a podcast or something... wink, wink!! ;) Thanx for sharing young Jacob (and his pen!) with the masses out here!! ;) Yvette

Thanks, Yvette. I think you, especially, would enjoy his work because it's deep and evocative. Definitely not the 'ordinary' fare. I appreciate the kind thoughts about a podcast, too! You slay me. xoxox
