great interview, and a really nice idea to do these interviews... it gives more personality to the writers here on vocal. i only came back to vocal recently after a long time so these interviews are introducing me to a lot of great writers!

Great Interview Mariann! I was hoping that Mike would be one of your interviewees! He has an interesting life and is good-hearted & talented.
Great interview!
Brilliant & beautiful interview, Mariann!!! Loved it!!!💖💖💕
Mike Singleton and Melissa Ingoldsby were the first fellow writers I met through Vocal. Love Mike's poetry and beat stories. Several of of his fictional stories should have placed in a challenge including one of recent for the mirror challenge. He is very supportive of all Vocal writers and takes time especially for new writers. Well done Mariann 👏 ❤️ I love the relaxed conversation of these interviews and getting to know some of my favorite writers ❤️
I’m from Britain too! Been to Newcastle a few times and it was nice.
Nice to hear from fellow Brits. I've been to that bookshop in his photo; it has a little model train that chugs back and forth: it's excellent.
Yay my brother is the best and a wonderful poet! ❤️❤️❤️Great interview so far !
My Vocal VIP!
What can I say Mariann? Thank you for sharing me in another of you wonderful interviews
