just read your interview with Glenn Colquhoun... a great story and so well written. Really enjoyed reading it and once I got started, couldn't put it down until I finished.Isn't that what inspiring, engaging writing is all about? Well done Jodi.(Newspaper editor)
Thanks so much for all your work: your insights through the family connections really made the story a lot deeper than the usual 'I went here, then I went there' kinda ramble that I see a lot of. Well done. (Another newspaper travel editor)
