Q&A with E.B. Sullivan

One of the most exciting things in the Publishing industry is meeting interesting people who are talented authors and write intriguing stories.

After reading Grandfathers’ Bequest by E.B. Sullivan, I had a few questions about her story and the characters.

"Love is too precious to rush into."

1. What’s your opinion about the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren?

1. Free of ordinary childcare routines and responsibilities, grandparents have the opportunity to form unique bonds and relate to their grandchildren in fresher and more improved ways. Most seniors have reflected upon their pasts and choose to avoid mistakes they made in their novice parenting roles.

Away from home rules, a grandchild can bask in the warmth of a grandparent’s unconditional love. Feeling secure and adored enriches a child’s self-esteem providing each child with encouragement to seek a personal journey.

2. Sweet love at first sight VS adventures in love, like Elena and Luciano. Which is more possible to last?

2. While initial chemistry between two people is powerful, adventures in love experienced over time have a better chance of enduring. It’s hard to love someone without knowing him/her and it’s hard to know someone without spending time with her/him in various circumstances. Love is too precious to rush into. Besides, it would be a shame to miss feeling and savoring, developing love’s unfolding joyful moments.

3. What do you think about taking risks?

3. Risk taking is an important part of life. Without stretching beyond our comfort zones, we deny ourselves chances to discover who we are. I think healthy life is about trust. By trusting oneself to sort through the rocky terrain of uncertainty, we can satisfy our burning passions and enter into unimagined enchantment. At each age, putting oneself out a bit farther into the unknown derives the reward of endless fulfillment.

4. What’s the meaning of family?

4. Family is love, protection, respect, unconditional acceptance, and relentless commitment.

5. What is love?

5. Love is the union of souls by embracing the essence of a person—applauding talents, strengthening weakness, sharing philosophies, and at times providing gentle guidance. It’s not categorically condoning and/or enabling another person’s behaviors or choices.

6. Tell me a few things about you.

6. Several characters in Grandfathers’ Bequest were born from recollections of my Italian immigrant family. I feel blessed to have had wonderful parents. Although they died tragically in my youth, their wisdom sits on my shoulder like Jiminy Cricket. Blissful memories of their kindness remind me to be grateful for every person I encounter for each person can help me grow. Animals, wild and domestic, also tutor me in clear and profound life lessons. And when I’m having fun with my grandchildren, I relive the magic days mothering my incredible twins.
