Thouroughly Engaged: Xenia Allen

I was very honored to be asked to be interviewed by writer and artist Ev Journey.  Miss Journey wrote a book titled Margaret of the North which I read and reviewed a few months ago.  You can read my review HERE.

Thank you very much Ev Journey for this wonderful opportunity.
