Q&A with Vicki-Ann Bush
One of the most exciting things in the Publishing industry is meeting interesting people who are talented authors and write intriguing stories.
After reading The Garden of Two by Vicki-Ann Bush, I had a few questions about her story and the characters.
About The Garden of Two
Charlie Murphy and Lillie Whitman couldn’t be any more different. His Irish immigrant parents worked hard for the little they had, while Lillie enjoyed all the comforts of wealth as the daughter in a prominent Long Island family. Drawn together by grief, the two overcome class conflict and fall deeply in love, creating a bond that no one can break.
Or so they thought.
When the dawn of World War I comes to their hometown, and personal tragedies threaten their future, they fight to hold on to their love. From the horrors of Germany's front lines to the emotional battle fields fought at home, Charlie and Lillie must find a way to navigate a path back into each other’s arms, and to a very special garden that is their consummate symbol of hope.
Q&A
1. Charlie and Lillie, wonderful characters, a happy couple that finally became one. Why can’t we see couples like them in our days?
1. Oh but I think we can. This couple is loosely based on me and my husband who recently celebrated our forty year wedding anniversary.
2. Charlie adored his mother, and I loved the way you described his stance after his mother’s condition. Is he the exception to the rule? Do you think everyone would do the same?
2. No, I don’t believe he is. I’m not sure if everyone would do the same but I know families who’ve gone through similar experiences and they fiercely stand loyal.
3. What do you think about Lillie’s father? I felt he would never accept his wife’s loss.
3. I agree. I feel he will forever miss his love and choose not to replace her with anyone else.
4. War, is there anything we could do to prevent this nightmare from coming back?
4. Compassion.
5. Insecurities VS true love, what do you think?
5. I’ve seen both and in the end, insecurities aren't enough to carry on. Only true love gives you the strength to endure.
6. What’s the meaning of family? What does family mean to you?
6. For me, I was raised in a large Italian family and family always comes first. It means true, supportive love. What that means to me is no matter how difficult my challenges are in life, I always have warriors standing by my side.
7. Tell me a few things about you and where can readers find you and your books?
7. My favorite author is Dean Koontz. I write primarily YA paranormal because I have sensitivity to what lies beyond, from mom’s side of the family. I can trip over a piece of thread on the carpet and I love to sing and dance...not well, but I love it anyway.
You can find my books at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and several online bookstores.
