Introduction: George wrote to me about a week ago saying he'd like to be interviewed. When he told me he'd moved from America to Japan to live, I was pretty sure he'd be a person with an interesting story to tell. I was not wrong and I hope that, like me, you'll find his story interesting. Without further ado, have great pleasure in introducing you to George Polley ... Aneeta: George, thank you...

Introduction: Last week at 'Readings' (a local get-together of people interested in the Arts), I got a chance to meet a person I have been wanting to for years. I first heard about Yvonne when she started her campaign to raise money to undergo surgery in the US. I have been following her progress via her website and her story has been an inspiration. Each time I listen to and read about her story,...

Introduction: Late last year, I met Elmo at a LitBlogger session organised by MPH bookstores. Since then, we've struck up a friendship and I've been reading his books. What I realised about Elmo is that he has a deep love for his country and this comes through in his writing. Last week, I asked him if he'd like to be interviewed and he agreed. Without further ado, I have great pleasure in introduc...

Introduction: I was introduced to Nadine's work by Frederiko Aguilar. I hopped over to Nadine's website and one of the things which caught my attention was the energy that seemed to emanate from her words. Her story, when I finally read it, is really inspiring and I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did. Without further ado, I have great pleasure in introducing you to Nadine Laman ... Aneeta:...

Introduction: Some two weeks ago, I received a long email from Chandrika. She explained her work and the moment I read the words 'Adi Sankara' and 'The Life of Krishna' I knew I wanted to interview her. I was a little worried she would back out from the interview and I am so glad she did not. I am sure that, like me, you'll be as fascinated reading all she has to say. Without further ado, I have g...

Introduction: After I completed the interview with Nadine Laman, she suggested I contact Rita. Her exact comments were as follows: She writes a number of genre, but what really got my attention was her series for children and parents (and teachers) about bullying. With that in mind, I visited Rita's site and was impressed with her work. I have really enjoyed reading about Rita's books and I'm sure...

Introduction: For some time now, I've been receiving emails from Patrick. I visited his site many times but never asked if he'd like to be interviewed ... until now. It has been very interesting reading his story. Without further ado, I have great pleasure in introducing you to Patrick Gorham Lanfia Toure... Aneeta: Patrick, thank you for agreeing to this interview. Let’s start with you. Tell m...

In Karen's words: Here's a picture taken recently when I was in London. The place is Gough Square, site of Dr Samuel Johnson's house, which has been restored and runs as a small museum about that great man of words and letters, the father of the first real dictionary in the English language. The statue depicts one of Dr Johnson's cats, Hodge, remembered for his fondness for oysters. There is a br...

Introduction: Again, Nadine Laman introduced me to June Austin and her work. I visited June's website and when I read about the subject matter of her book, I know I wanted to interview her. Without further ado, I have great pleasure in introducing you to June Austin ... Aneeta: June, thank you for agreeing to this interview. June: Thank you for asking me! It nice to talk to you and hopefully y...
