I love this interview, so much insight to how her mind works and who she is.<br /><br />Dickens? No kidding. This tickles me to death (David Copperfield is my fav book of all time). <br /><br />And I laughed when i read she use to write up new parts of the bible to annoy her grandpa. HA.<br /><br />Awesome Q's Carrie. I'm so glad you did this!

That for me is the definition of a writer.<br /><br />If people haven't sampled her writing yet, you should do.

Yep - PAMILA PAYNE -- the illustrious Pamila Payne is a dame worth reckoning with and reading and jiving and thriving with ... over and over and over again -- and I shall ... from that fated duet to *the mysterious* (nice plug) HARBINGER*33 ... to some kind of Esmerelda psychic vibe (recall that mechanical fortune-teller you gave a quarter to?) that one day I'll come across a 'whom' who gets Pamila's Bella Vista to TheMovies fame (Payne/Hitchcockian?). Yeah, that's the ticket.<br /><br />Carrie - you excelled in Pamila on display in such an indomitable way. Asking here publicly, as I did the irrepressible Cathy Olliffe for a run of this interview in the upcoming (not mysterious - but sensation-endowed) HARBINGER*33? (Say 'yes' - will'ya?)<br /><br />Eric Beetner's ONE TOO MANY BLOWS TO THE HEAD and Nick Quantrill's BROKEN DREAMS are superb ... the authors harbinger swell too ... wait and see.<br /><br />~ Absolutely*Kate - who so loves the spirit of Pamila Payne and Carrie Clevenger ... or else alliteration's intrigueKate Pilarcik ~ absolutelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12430278736281847787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375968406108179327.post-1290566704035788582010-07-23T06:47:38.430-05:002010-07-23T06:47:38.430-05:00I've been a fan of Pamila's work for a whi...I've been a fan of Pamila's work for a while.
