Thank you, Eleanor, for including me among all the wonderful writers and creators you've featured here in this fabulous interview series. What a delight and a pleasure to be among your writer fam. 🥰🥰🥰
Reading this was like a quick coffee date with one of my favorite writers here. It’s fun to hear the origins and read your perspective on how it’s been and how it’s going. I’m off, into the world to have an encounter with a kind stranger so I can write about it for Holly. (Do herons count?)
Fuck! Writing can do all that! I wanna try it. Great to read that at 5am with the birds chirping in my non rolling bed(the birds aren’t in the bed). Dig you Starley!
Eight great questions, and eight even better answers! Love your authenticity Holly. And, personally, I’m glad your Substack posts are broad and wide ranging, I like hearing all about your life and adventures. :)
Fangirling out on all of this. The Caravan Writers Collective sounds rad--and so in the spirit of the literary companionship that keeps showing up on Substack. 🤍
Well, it's fangirling all around. I love what you're doing with Empress and everything else. And my goodness, the literary companionship here is just fantastic!
So glad the floodgates are open Holly, we are all beneficiaries of the breach! You’re a joy to read, a joy to hold hands with on this Substack ride, a joy to cheer on as those stories keep rolling out of you (and Vivian.) 💛
This is how I picture you Holly, sitting in a big pink high-back, strapped on top of Viv’s roof (she needs one too). Granny’s version of a front row center seat, a bowl of vittles resting on the padded arm. Head up, eyes closed, the suns a shinin’. Listening to Willie singing “On the road again,
I just can't wait to get on the road again …” I wish for you a long road ahead, down a country lane, or life coming at you full speed ,always turning wonder into great stories.
Yes!! But my goodness, that pink high-back is WAY up there atop Vivian. I had cause to be on her roof this morning (grumble, grumble, unexpected repair, oh my). And sheesh, you're far off the ground. And when the trucks go flying by, and you're up there with a drill in hand, and she waves in their wind, it's a bit of a ... rush? Ha!
I am so very often humming that very tune!
Turning wonder into great stories. Yes! Love it. Extremely grateful for you, Lor! 💕💕💕

"On the Kindness of Herons" -- has a great ring, eh?!
Wouldn't a coffee date be just an absolute delight?
Thank you much for reading and sharing, Julie, oh sharer of all my favorite spots.

Yeah, birds in the bed, no bueno.
Delighted to be part of your morning reading time.
Dig you back, Mr. Swerdlow. ;)
Wonderful interview. A roll with Holly is beautiful, uplifting and just plain fun. Who isn’t craving a little fun in these these days?
🙋🏻♀️
Awww! Thank you, Rona. I am beyond delighted to have you rolling with me any old day of the week.
Eight great questions, and eight even better answers! Love your authenticity Holly. And, personally, I’m glad your Substack posts are broad and wide ranging, I like hearing all about your life and adventures. :)
Thank you, Michael. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You were among my first Substack friends, and I'll forever be grateful for that.
Great interview :)
Thank you!!! What fun questions to answer. 💕

Even more insight into your impressive self!! Fabulous Holly! Roll on.
Gah!!! I so adore the fact we've connected. Thank you, Janice!
To rolling on together, come curve or wave. 💕

The feeling is 100 percent mutual, my friend. Over the moon to have found you and your wonderful discerning open mind and heart.
Fabulous interview! And definitely up for joining the Asia leg of that Substack tour...
Oh yes, the Asia leg will be an absolute delight. And I can't think of a better companion to enjoy it with. :)
Thank you, Jeffrey.
Holly Starley - I love your rolling world and you!
Right back at you, Susie!!
Thank you ever so much for reading.
Holly, an absolute delight, a soulful generous heart, and I'k so glad she might even think me a true virtual friend! Love to you!
You are indeed among the best of the true virtual friends I've been fortunate enough to make here.
So much love back your way.
Thank you, thank you for reading. 🥰
love Holly!
Love you back, Anna!
