Marta Adint-Weeks
Marta Adint-Weeks asked Jacob M. Appel:

I am trying to explain how the reading felt. I am one of those who can smell feelings, see thoughts, feel words, taste moods, hear silence. Not sure was that means but it is a banquet of sensations and when I read something if it doesn't feed me I can't enjoy it. Your short story brought me to the table and I feasted in the surprises it offered! What do you think that means?

Sue Williams
Sue Williams asked Jacob M. Appel:

How in the world do you write, work and all the other things you do. In my world there are only 24 hours in a day. How many hours in your day?

Robert Blumenthal
Robert Blumenthal asked Jacob M. Appel:

So, you're a secretive, reclusive Italian woman who writes about conspiracy theories in the US. Hmmmm.....?
