We have stayed in contact over the years, however sometimes many years in between. I have always believed in his passion of writing and in him. I wish him the best in the years ahead and I still believe in you and your dream!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4214358078220293316.post-82460003165916378572011-12-15T10:58:44.657-06:002011-12-15T10:58:44.657-06:00This was (is?) great.

His writing certainly gives you food for thought, and it makes me strive to better my own work.<br /><br />GilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4214358078220293316.post-80936990855957085422011-12-08T07:53:39.256-06:002011-12-08T07:53:39.256-06:00First of all, I apologize for being so late to com...First of all, I apologize for being so late to comment. I'm just now catching up. <br /><br />I love Mike's writing. I totally forget where I am and what is going on in the room with everything he writes. And to add to that, to hear him read his books instantly transports me into the character. He is truly gifted and I believe, will soon be a well-known author. Hello NYT. <br /><br />Jan, thank you for really thinking through your questions. You are a unique and intelligent interviewer. Barbara Walters style. I'm glad, however, that you don't go for the tears. ;)<br /><br />Beautiful interview, interviewer, and interviewee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4214358078220293316.post-78043337038826739042011-12-07T18:27:16.952-06:002011-12-07T18:27:16.952-06:00What a great interview!

'Thank you' hardly seems adequate, just know that it's heartfelt. One thing, though, I'm rather at a loss on how to write a "southern western".

Can I buy you a cup of coffee and find out why Daisy cut off Oscar's ear? I'm certainly glad you returned to the NW Arkansas Writers Workshop.

His stories grab your attention from the very first sentence and hurtles you into an action-packed world of suspense and drama, sprinkled with a dashes of humor.

I think we children that had alot of solitary time did have more time to be creative and dive into the recesses of our minds. <br /><br />TameraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
