An Interview with Author Melanie Tomlin

Angel's Body Book Cover

Angel's Body by Melanie Tomlin
Today I’m interviewing author Melanie Tomlin … that would be me! I’m not sure whether to sit a mirror on the couch next to me, or to hot-swap seats, from the interviewer position to the interviewee position. Confused? I know I am, and the interview hasn’t even started yet! So, I shall start by thanking myself for taking the time to chat with myself, and sitting down to get comfortable before I begin.

An Interview with Lucy Vampoosy

Lucy Vampoosy Interview - Photo 1
Lying comfortably on the couch, demanding one treat for every question asked (whether she answers them or not), is Lucy Vampoosy, the dog who has become an overnight sensation with the release of a book based on her life.
How did you come to live with the Tomlin family?
Lucy: Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof.
Translation: They adopted me from the Lost Dogs Home in North Melbourne. I clearly remember the day they came. They’d been looking for a companion for their other dog, Snoopy, for a few months, and decided to visit the Lost Dogs Home on the way home from a funeral. When they saw me there, they fell in love with me. They asked if they could bring Snoopy in to see if we got along, but were told someone else was coming to collect me later in the afternoon. They left a contact number just in case things didn’t work out. Two hours later their phone rang and they were asked if they were still interested in adopting me. They brought Snoopy to meet me, and the first thing he tried to do was wee on my head! Of course, they took that as a good sign, and as I didn’t complain, I got to go home with them. (I did get my revenge by weeing on the carpet.)
