JE: Scott, I hate to tell you this, but Crossroads (Book 10) is NOT the last in the Wheel of Time series! Just one of the reasons I gave up on this series after book 6.

Scott: Ari's a great classical pianist and can play the guitar. She has a great singing voice, and used to jam in a group of like-minded enthusiasts. One could say it was a band. Ari likes to travel and see new places, and she's a SCUBA diver as well.


JE: Scott gets full credit for this one!


JE: Web sites?

Ari: Simply and motorbike website.....


JE: Ari again gets the score!

Scott: Simply Discus of course!!! And she likes thaigem.com. What is it with girls and rocks?


JE: She said Simply, but didn’t mention thaigem.com. Looking for any special kind of rock??


JE: Do you have any funny discus stories to share with us?

Ari: hhhmmm.... Can't think of any at the moment... I am sure Scott has some....

Scott: This one time, at band camp... J/K, but there was this time a female SS discus was having trouble passing an ENORMOUS loaf. She had been trying for a couple of hours, and was still looking pretty uncomfortable. So I threw in Epsom salts at the rate of one teaspoon per 10gal, and it had the desired, if rather messy effect. To this day, I don't know what she ate, but afterwards I counted the cardinals to make sure they were all still there! I wish I'd taken a photo.

Any then there's a white pigeon that likes to hang out inside a hollow piece of driftwood. Only she lays on her left side whilst relaxing, looking very unusual as she drifts in and out of the log. The clown loach seems most put out at having to share his bivouac. Whacky and crazy discus!!


JE: Do you have any thanks or credit to give for your success with discus?

Ari: We owe a lot to Rod Lewis. He has given me advice and tips all along the way. There were times I called him in panic asking him about my discus... and he has always been helpful.... I guess I am lucky that he only lives 15 mins away from me. And also April... for being there over the side of the world. She has been a great friend who helped me along the way and also directed me to simply.... I wish she was closer....because we get along so well...

And finally to everyone at simply!!! It has been a great site and still is!! I have learned heaps from simply and I am still learning....

Scott: I don't know that I'd go so far as to call it success, but there's too many people who've helped us along the way to mention without writing a separate book. I'd like to give a HUGE thank-you to Rod Lewis, without whose expertise and coaching we would be lost in the discus wilderness. And of course to all the mods and members of Simply Discus, without whose advice and encouragement we would have chucked in the towel long ago!! Our earliest forays onto the internet trawling for information led us to DPH, where Ari met April and Rod, and the rest is history!!


JE: Thank you very much for taking the time to be interviewed!

Ari: No worries.... John... Thanks for interviewing us... I don't think we deserve it, cause we are still newbies compared to some people who has been in this hobby for so long.

Scott: Thanks for the honour of being February's spotlight. I know I always enjoy reading the spotlights, and I hope people enjoy reading ours!
