Carolyn McBride
Carolyn McBride asked Inga Simpson:

In your 'Notes From Olvar Wood', you mention making the text of your talk from The Planting available some day. Did we fans miss it? What do you find the most rewarding in writing about Nature?

Bernie
Bernie asked Inga Simpson:

Hello Inga. I'm so excited to be talking to you. My favourite writing is that which describes nature and our environment. I think you are so amazing with the way you convey your imagery. My question is- how did you gain your skills in this writing style? And what advice can you give new writers who aspire to write the way you do? Yours Sincerely Bernie

Lesley Moseley
Lesley Moseley asked Inga Simpson:

One of my all time favourite books is " Where the trees were".. I learned a lot of history, as well. Any news of your next book? I also LOVED "Nest".
