INTERVIEW WITH DARLENE FOSTER FROM “DARLENE FOSTER’S BLOG”
Meet Darlene Foster from Darlene Foster’s Blog
All about your BLOG:
Tell us about your lovely BLOG.
- What is the name of your blog and how did you decide on your blog name?
My blog is simply named Darlene Foster’s Blog because I want people to be able to find it easily. My tagline is dreamer of dreams, teller of tales but it no longer shows up under my name and I can’t seem to fix it. - What prompted you to start on this blogging journey?
My publisher suggested I start a blog when she published my first book in 2010. I’m so glad she did. - To date, what blogging achievement/s are you most proud of?
My blog is read all over the world and that makes me happy. I’ve made a shed load of friends too which makes me even happier. - How would you describe your own blogging style?
Natural, friendly and easy to read. - What excites you most about blogging?
Making new friends always excites me. I love being able to share all the fabulous places I have visited, stories about my amazing family and news about my books.
Hop over and read the rest of the interview where I reveal my thoughts on cucumbers, the sun and confusion.

This interview was posted in June but Esmé had just created a new blog site and I was unable to reblog it at the time. Better late than never!!
You might consider being interviewed by the amazing Esmé yourself.

Nice interview! I left a comment but I’m not sure if it took… 🙂

Thanks, Marcia. I think Esme has to approve all of the comments for security reasons. It will most likely show up later.

Always a pleasure to hear more about you. I had not realized your blog started after your first book.

My second post was about the launch of Amanda in Arabia, June 2010. What a ride this has been. Glad you aren’t bored reading about me. xo

Your blog mirrors your love of travel, photography and writing. I always feel like I’m traveling with you and seeing things I wouldn’t normally see. And you help kids see the world through Amanda.
October 19, 2018 at 4:49 pm
Thanks, Patricia. I love sharing my travels which is why I started writing the Amanda Travels series. So pleased you enjoy travelling with me.

Interesting read as always D. I’ve contacted Esme and she was positive enough to send me he questions to complete which I’ve already done. Not sure if our tale will interest or excite, we wait in trepidation 😂😂

That is just awesome! I can’t wait to read your post. I am sure it will be great and introduce more folks to your blog.

Darlene, glad you got a chance to reblog this at last! I remember reading and commenting at the time … a great interview. Hope you’re having a lovely week. xx
October 25, 2018 at 1:43 am
Yes, thank you. I do remember you commented at the time. As Esme was still working out the bugs of her new site, it was hard to place a comment so I thought I’d wait and well you know how it goes… Glad I did reblog it as the questions were great and fun to answer. xo
October 26, 2018 at 5:48 pm
I enjoyed that interview, as I always enjoy the interviews you do. You come across as a very positive person, and I think that’s one of the reasons your blog is so popular and readable. I like what you said about your age and about being an indoor/outdoor person. I’d like to be outside more but the Scottish weather puts me off sometimes, so I can relate to the distinction you made.
October 26, 2018 at 9:33 pm
I guess there isn’t too much you don’t know about me! Pleased you enjoyed the interview and could relate to some things. I feel like I’ve had a great conversation with you today!
October 26, 2018 at 10:10 pm
I agree with you about blogging and the friendships we make over the years.
October 26, 2018 at 10:13 pm
I have met the most amazing people through blogging! Thanks for being one of them.
October 28, 2018 at 11:42 am
You’ve got an engaged community here on your blog. I can relate to your feelings on cucumbers. Celery and cucumbers are the only 2 foods I find hard to love.
October 28, 2018 at 5:29 pm
I have a great blogging community. It is nice to meet another person who doesn’t like cucumbers. Thanks for visiting my blog. xx
October 29, 2018 at 5:17 am
