Wow! That was an intense and thorough interview with plenty of information about Steve and an incredible background for one of our Fanstorians. Your interview was well done and some really good reading.

Rachelle, you excel in this department, you always seem to know exactly which questions to ask. Thank you for everything you do, young lady.

Wow! In one sitting, I've learned more about this incredible talent than in the last few weeks of being his fan. I have enjoyed a few of his pieces so far, and recently, I thoroughly enjoyed The Apprentice Vampire, a poem.

How exciting it must have been to be a Safari Guide. There had to be a fair amount of danger here.

If anyone reading this interview hasn't read Steve Foreman's work, you are missing out on true talent. Do yourself a favor and review his work.

God bless,
Steve

    Lol, that is funny. I tried leaving you a review on your brilliant Common Bonds, but it wouldn't let me leave it. So, I left a more generic version, and it took it. I put the original one in your messages.

Rachelle,
What an amazing write. It's honest and straightforward.
I think many people will be interested in Steve's writing. I can't imagine the adventures and the beauty of transcending the African Continent.
I Will definitely at him as my fan.
An exceptional true story.
Best wishes, Rochelle.
Cindy

Excellent interview conducted in your unique style. In fact, I was intrigued enough after reading to look up this new member and skim through his portfolio.

It seems that he is a talented prose writer and a person of forthright opinions on many subjects.

I confess that I was amazed by his view that poetry is only poetry if it rhymes. Many poet laureates around the world are either rendered speechless by shock or laughing, depending on their personalities.

However, I suspect that he is only voicing what many writers on this site and in general think but keep to themselves. LOL

Welcome, Steve!
It's a long shot. But maybe, just maybe, if you check out the results of the recent free verse contest you could change your mind.

"Take a walk on the wild side
Where end rhymes are no longer your guide
Where metre's lost in your stride
And sonnets, like quatrains, will hide

Let feelings' river flow free
In weeping or hilarity
Compose your soliloquy
Unformed as the wind in a tree

Walk on the wild side with me"

Forgive the doggerel. I couldn't resist.



Blessings, Julia

Based on your terrific interview and recommendation, I have 'Fanned' Steve. I haven't read any of his pieces, but it's no fault of his. He is absolutely right about getting onto the first, or at worst, the second page.
Thank you.

"An accomplished and fascinating new member!!
Interview with...STEVE FOREMAN" Hmm, so you're quite into 'members' I see. Why am I not surprised? Don't stare too hard now.
"Oh, how the teacher in me would have absolutely adored Young You!" Oh, I bet you would, you naughty Miss, you.
Hey, I've been to dark, dangerous Africa, too--in my imagination, through books. That counts!
This is a nice interview gig you got going. Carry on...
