A cleverly constructed interview, Rachelle, to draw out fascinating information about Debbie and to build a pen-picture of her personality that really brings her to life for the reader.

Rachelle, what a great interview with Debbie! The questions were perfect and allowed us to learn a bit more about a beloved and talented member of the FanStory family. Your presentation and unique style added effectively to the interview; the picture is beautiful.

Exceptional writing. - Jamison

This is a fantastic interview. You asked so many good questions of Debbie. I like the humor you interjected, as well as the humorous responses from Debbie, especially about her family and spending so much time on FS. It's nice to know more about Debbie. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed week. Carol

    Thanks, Carol! This makes me feel really good. I loved her response about her family spending so much time on FS, too. Very validating, right? We're not the only ones with this issue!! hahaha.

    Anyway, thank you very much for the kind words and the extra sparkler, too! xoxo

    Yes, it can be a time-killer, but it's also good encouragement, and it's nice to hear from others.

YOU ARE GREAT. Seriously I enjoyed this. I'm going to check her out. I haven't been able to read much. You have a very good way of asking questions. Natural. Flows so nicely.

Great job!!! You're a good person.

Thank you for interviewing Debbie!! A six to both of you for such great questions and answers. Loved the 5-7-5 duo in response to her work experience. And we are so happy that Debbie joined us on Fanstory !!

    Thank you for these lovely words of love and support. Both Debbie and I appreciate them immensely coming from you.

    I do, though, want it on the record that I learned the excellent incorporating-a-poem-into-the-interview technique from none other than the very impressive interviewer, Helen lyenochka.

    Shh! Few know my real name! But you have a typo so we're good.
    I'm glad you are doing the interviews as after this year, I'm going to pass the baton to you and others! 💖 This is a great way to introduce members to our friends.

You have done an excellent job with your interview of Deb. I read more prose than poetry, so I hadn't realized what a marvelous poet she is. I will make it a point to read more of Deb's poems now that you have brought her to my attention. Thank you for sharing this with us FanStorians.

    It was so totally my pleasure. She's very gracious and charming (as well as immensely talented). She has written some prose and did a knock-out job with it, too. But her poetry reads like stories, so even a prose-lover like you (and me; I only read a few poets on here) will enjoy her work.

    Thank you for this very nice review. I appreciate it a lot. xo

I thoroughly enjoyed your interview with our very own Debbie who has delighted me with her work since she joined. She is always open to critique and suggestions and never takes offence. I love her work, her rhyming is spot on and she appreciates metre, so I am very happy with that! I learned a little more about her with your fine interview Rachelle, a lovely kind and endearing post, love Dolly x x x

    Wow, Dolly, this means the world! Thank you for such supportive words. I couldn't agree with you more about her knack for metre and rhyme. And you're right, too, about how welcoming she's always been to suggestions, advice and critiques. Obviously, that's what's gotten her so far so fast. She's genuinely here to learn and improve!!

    Anyway, thank you for this lovely review and the additional star.

Rachelle,
Using the black and red type made this so much easier to read, thank you.

That being said, you did an absolute outstanding job in your interview. Not until read this did I realize, Debbie has only joined FanStory this year. She is a tremendous talent as you've pointed out with her accolades. You given us so much insight into her by your well thought questions.

I've probably read 90% of her posts and 100% of the most recent in the past few months.

Earlier today, I was in awe of her Neil Diamond tribute as I was a few weeks back with James Taylor. It's as if she knew two of my favorite artists.

It's only Sunday, and I'm near out of sixes. That's true to the talent on this site!

It was a pleasure to read about Debbie and a pleasure to have you do the interview.

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
John

    What a warm and gracious and just-plain-wonderful review this is, John. Debbie and I are so appreciative of your kind words and perpetual support of us both. (I, too, am nearly out of sixes today, and I attribute it to the same reason as you: so much talent on here!!)

    Thank you for the additional star for us.

Two talented women that continuously inspire us here at Fanstory. Rachelle, thanks for your in-depth interview with Debbie that allows us to get to the know the person holding the pen and achieving such well-deserved recognition. I loved reading this interview.
