Aw shucks.
I’m used to interviewing and questioning others, so sitting on the interviewee side of the table? Yikes. It’s a little scary over here!
Okay, it wasn’t that frightening, but definitely an interesting change of pace. The wonderful Ortensia interviewed me as part of her regular blogger chat series over at her site, Truly Madly Ordinary, Diary Of A Not So Desperate Housewife. Ortensia quit her finance job to become a full-time, stay-at-home mother and blogger.
As part of this running interview series, I was lucky number 13.
I absolutely loved her questions—and if you know her site, you know her blog is anything but ordinary. I always love reading her unique perspective, so it was a real honor. Thank you, Ortensia, for having me!

Writing from the Heart with Brian 
Beautiful and heart-warming interview Brian. Read your favorite book Wish You Well back in 2017 and I rated it five stars.✨

Oh that’s awesome Arlene. It’s definitely different than anything else he’s written. My wife thought it was okay, but much prefers his thrillers. Shows that we all have our own tastes.

Great interview, Brian. You handled the pressure of the hot seat great! 😊 Love You, Forever always brings me to tears when I re-read and I do hope to go through the Potter books with T one day. And I always appreciate your very human and humane views and approach to faith!

Yes, Love You Forever can be tough to read — especially as you see T growing and getting bigger. I think that’s why I love it. I feel like I learn something new about myself and the book each time I read it. And the Potter books are a great tool to read with T. I was skeptical about the series when it came out. It turned out to be an amazing experience reading it with my kids. My daughter loved it the most — but the boys too. It opened up Star Wars, Dune, The Hobbit and so many other interests for us. Faith is a tough one. I hope my faith comes across as humane. I’m a red letter guy, not a red hat guy. In this day and age, people take faith in different directions, I’m always cautious to say much, but I also know that I’d be lost without it.

What a great interview. It’s good to know a little more about you. I believe you are a humble man, who doesn’t realize your talent. I also have been blogging for a long time. For me, the experience is a discipline of sorts. Once I get up and moving, it’s part of my daily routine to sit down and write. I rarely have a problem thinking about what I’ll write. I’m old. I have a million stories to share and I hope a lot of wisdom too. I really enjoyed your answers.
