My good friend and phenomenal storyteller and poet, Nigel Byng, has selflessly decided to interview me in support of my upcoming book (thank you, Lisa, at Prolific Pulse Press) presales of which start later this month, I can’t believe it! Thank you, Nigel, for being so supportive not only of me but of everyone in our community. Please read Part 1 below and we’re all looking forward to further installments later this week!
Wonderful Joni! Lots of love and blessings for you both and for the success of this phenomenal book! And thank you Nigel!
Thank you Francis. What an outpouring of support and love. Thank you Francisco for your unbelievable support and love as well. To have an enormously talented and globally famous artist donate all original artwork, that takes a book visually to another place is unheard of my friend. I can never repay that kindness. You have captured the essence of the elements that make up the world of the child within in this book. It is difficult to express how loved I feel by so much support by those whom I respect so much. Having Dr. Claudia Black, the founder of the study and treatment of Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOAs), is a blessing as well. I feel like I am a little girl looking at a sundae with a gigantic cherry on the top. God is so great. Thank you so much Francisco for your continued support and talent which makes the world a more beautiful place. Love from us both.
Thank you so much Joni! It’s a beautiful book and an honour to be a part of it. Love and blessings!
You have no idea how honored I am to have your beautiful work in my book. With Dr. Claudia Black’s endorsement and your artwork I feel like my book has already been blessed. I can not thank you enough for your gracious support in donating all originals that go so beautifully with the words within the books pages. Bless you for your amazing gift that I don’t truly have the words to express both my and Scott’s sense of gratitude. 🙏
Thank you Joni for thinking of me to illustrate your lovely book! It is an honour and a pleasure and I am very excited about the project and cannot wait to see it! Lots of love and big hugs to you and Scott!
You are so welcome. Not many writers get an enormously famous artist to donate their exquisite works for a fellow writer’s first book. 🦋
It is my pleasure dear Joni!
❤️

What a blessing your beautiful artworks for this book, these amazing originals that go perfectly with the text within the book, donated by you. I am still humbled by this and I know that everyone will enjoy them very much. What a gift. Thank you our friends and sending you love, hugs, and blessings from the both of us.
My pleasure dear Joni and it is an honour and a very exciting thing to be a part of your book! Love and big hugs to you and Scott!
Monday your interview will be up and I can not wait. I think a lot of people will be excited to hear about the cover, the donated artwork inside, and also hear about your art in general and hear you read some of your poetry. I am excited to see the interview myself – I can’t wait. What a treat that will be. I will of course be reposting it too. How fun! So exciting and I will always be so grateful to you for sharing your beautiful artwork and donating the work for the book.
What is more important is the book, that it reaches far and wide and touches many hearts! Love to you and Scott and looking forward to the release!
Yes, I really hope so Francisco. I already feel like the book has been blessed. God is Great! We are too, thank you Francis, we can wait to watch your interview together on Monday, a lot of folks are curious about the famous artist from Valencia and first Miami! Yea!!!!

Congratulations, Joni, for this well-deserved recognition. Your writing is great! ❤️
Thank you so much Tim. It certainly does please me to know that you enjoy my work. I feel honored to know this. Great big hugs and love dear friend. ❤️
Excellent interview!
Dawn thank you so much. I think Nigel’s coming up with this whole idea and he is so creative was very kind and takes away time for his own writing. ✍️ Mike Utley also did a feature and that made me cry. I feel so much love. Then there are folks like you who know me and are pouring out their love. It is a humbling experience. ❤️🙏❤️
You have an amazing story and your story can and will help others, thank you Joni, for sharing your stories and your gift! ♥🤗
Hi Tiffany thank you so much for reading Nigel’s interview and for your kind words as well. I appreciate you and your friendship. It means a lot. It has been a lot of work but I have had such amazing support in our lovely community. Sending love, hugs and gratitude Tiffany. ❤️🙏❤️
