    Great interview! I am proud to have Talli as my bully...sorry mentor. I consider myself as one of the luckiest writers out there, she is vibrant, supportive and always on the wine...sorry always producing good books.

    Brilliant layout and interview, Madeline.

    Talli-isms! I like it.
    I think her latest is the only one I haven't downloaded yet. My bad.

    Hi Talli and Madeline ... I loved the interview.

    So I'm a new Talli Roland reader and have Talli's latest book on my Kindle, just waiting to hit the top of my TBR pile so I can read it. :) So either of Talli's first two books would be great. Thank you!

    This layout is absolutely stunning! Great interview, Talli. I felt like I was reading about Serenity though LOL. Build a Man might be semi-autobiographical perhaps?

    Great quotes and advice Talli - it's good to see other writers' histories sometimes, reminds us that we're not alone! Ah, the things we wrote when we were younger, eh?

    Madeleine, I love how you've set out this interview, with the quotes and the photos. Fantastic!

    Talli, I know what you mean about just wanting to "tell the story"! I make up my settings so I don't have to research real ones!

    I've already read Watching Willow Watts, and the next one I'd love to read is The Hating Game.
