Sue's Interview with Saltire884 about her fic 'Pistols and Petticoats'





It was another fine evening on twitter, I was minding my own business *snort* when I got a tweet from a buddy of mine JJJulibee. She was talking to someone I did not know, and she said something to the effect of:


If you have a period fic you have to talk to Roselover24 (that's me BTW),
I did the *ears perked* you have attention!
I was asked by a new writer to give her 1st chapter a read. We exchanged e-mails, and


IT IS A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN!


The angels wept, the clouds opened up, and the sun shined through!
OK, OK I exaggerate a bit (just a bit). I read her first chapter then proceeded to HOUND this poor woman I had never met into giving me anything else she had. I encouraged, I offered minor changes, I asked questions.
She posted her first chapter, and I gushed about her on twitter, and oddly enough people listened.


AND SO the next big thing was born! I cannot tell you how happy I am to be one of the people to encourage you to read this fic


ANNNNND (you are saying to yourself) SUE what is this fic about??
Well here is her description :


In a drunken gamble by her father, Bella finds her future wagered to town loner, Edward Cullen. But with stakes this high, how much will Bella lose, or will chance be on her side?


And here is mine:
We have a town loner, not by choice. He is a loner because the town is full of a bunch of bigots (common at the time) and he is half Comanche, on his mothers side. She is the daughter of a drunken asshole. The dad is abusive, and well a jerk (not sexually abusive). Again behavior that was common at that time. She is promised to be wed to another jerk in town (not of her choosing). THEN her father actually BETS her in a poker game!


I will say no more, because that would be giving it all away. What we have here is a lovely tale that is full of drama and neat characters that you fall in love with and some you just LOVE to hate. I told (that's right I did not ask her) Saltire I was going to interview her for the blog. She hemmed and hawwed for all of 2 seconds, and THAT is how this post was BORN!!


SO my dears you know the drill read the interview, drool over the pics, then go read the fic and leave some lovin!
Please remember that Chrissy and I were giggling throughout this interview we had a blast, chatted with each others children. It was just downright fun.
