    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.

  • Shane Dobbieabout a year ago

    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.

  • Melissa Ingoldsbyabout a year ago
