An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Fae Corps Party Room, Interview with Ivor
Today I had a live interview with Kat from Fae Corps Publishing to help promote my new book “Tullawalla”. The show was mostly a Question & Answer interview, and me reading a couple of poems. Below I have attached the video Link for you to click onto … I hope you enjoy the show 😄🌏
G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

Yes she was enthusiastic, but she made me feel comfortable and at ease, which me with the interview…. and I am always conscious of how my speaking/voice will go…
Fae Corps Publishing have been a wonderful crew to work with, and couldn’t be happy…. it’s not about how many books I sell … the book is about ‘What Matters” .. happy hearts from “Here To Beyond” 😀💓💞
I enjoyed hearing you talk and sharing your poetry! YOU DID A GREAT JOB!!! 🙂
BTW: I just put up a post about WP’ers who’ve written books, created artwork, etc. Please come by and share a link to your book so people can know about it, find it online, and purchase it!!! 🙂
That’s going to hard at the moment, because of logistic problems… I am not sure if Amazon are going to do hard or paperback book… but they are available on Barnes & Noble… and I can send an Email signed by ‘Ivor’ … or you can wait til’ I get a few copies sent to me .. ?? everything has been upset by ‘covid’ ..😀😎
That’s what I thought, we are on other sides of the world after all! Of course I can wait, and would pay for it including postage. Perhaps you could email me about this? 😊🌎🙏
At the moment Barnes & Noble are not sending Authors free postage copies to Authors outside of America… and I would get the books cheaper too… but not be at the moment… !!
Tell me about it! My Dad was asked to make a customs declaration in order to send Easter eggs to the kids. Though I think Brexit may be to blame for that… 🐣
I just loved being able to see and hear you in this interview and hear you reading your poems, Ivor… Next best thing to sitting down in the cafe with you for coffee and tea. Have a wonderful day! ❤
Great to meet you Ivor! Love the interview and the dialog back and forth. Congratulations your book is out and running! Hope you have great success with it!

Congratulations, Ivor
