my interview at ‘this eclectic life’
When my friend, professional storyteller Shelly Kneupper Tucker of This Eclectic Life heard that I got a new gig writing Guarda! A Video Tour of Italy at Italy Magazine, she immediately asked if she could interview me on her blog to help spread the word.
She typed up some fabulous interview questions and had them to me within a day.
How great is Shelly?
So great that you need to head over there right now
and read her interview with me:
Is She Really Bleeding Espresso?
Thanks so much Shelly!
People like you bring sunshine wherever you go!

Indeed! Hope yours is just as lovely Joanne 🙂
Great interview. The lawyer joke holds more truth than people realize. You are getting so famous the next thing we know Don Imus will be pushing your new book and then you’ll be on Oprah!
Hah, guess I should get writing that book….
Hey, and when Don Imus and Oprah push your book, remember us little guys! Thanks for doing the interview. It was fun finding questions for you, you are an interesting young woman! And, such an excellent writer!

Thanks Jen 🙂
What a lovely interview. I especially enjoyed being directed to your earlier posts and learning more about you (“I am, etc. – can’t WAIT to do it) as well as to the Legal web site, which is more timely than you can imagine. Ha. Thank you – you really seem to be right in synch with what people need/want to read – a gift.

I always like reading about you, ‘Chelle. Hey, you know, it might be time for another quiz! Be interesting to see how much more is known now about the Artiste Formerly Known As Sognatrice…
Will we really have more falling stars tonight?

And yes, the experts say more falling stars tonight! Get in those wish requests early 😉

Read your great interview over at Shelley’s place last night and I gotta say it’s always neat to read about one of one’s fav bloggers at the home of yet another fav blogger! You both did a great job with that piece.
So glad you enjoyed Jeni!

Hey Michelle,
Congratulations on your article! Strangely enough, when I go to the site and try to click on your article I get that dreaded serious computer sound and the window comes up saying it can’t be opened and operation aborted. Don’t know if I’m the only one having this problem? In any case, I’m sure your article is wonderful! 🙂
Thanks for answering my two questions as well. I was away and did not get back until last week so could not thank you on the thread. Glad that not ALL of those recipes are in your head! ha ha And as far as the dress question, I guess I meant do you break the cardinal sin of no shorts or capris in your village?
Thanks and congrats again! I’ll respond to e-mail soon…
Sue
I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble getting to the article; I think others have had issues too, either with the article or posting a comment 🙁
Anyway, women (natives) wear shorts and capris in my town all the time, so I have no cardinal sins to avoid 🙂
Regarding the interview and your love of Chick-Fil-A. My cousin’s got a thing for them too. We had to drive 30 miles to the closest one. On a recent trip, I bought a kid’s meal. Guess what it came with? A CD to learn Italian. It was great. 14 tracks. Separated by numbers, colors, directions, etc. Best kid’s toy ever. I’ll have to post about it one day.

Michelle! I’m finally getting a breather to be able to catch up on my blog reading…what exciting news! Congratulations! And great interview btw.
I just returned from the promise land. Jetlagged yet rejuvinated. And I saw 2 shooting stars while I was there…
