Sue's interview with idealskeptic about her fic 'Yellow Rose'





AH/AU. Set in the US in 1865. Alice Brandon is alone when the Civil War comes to her. As a volunteer nurse, she helps heal many soldiers. One in particular, Major Jasper Hale, stands out. What does life have in mind for Alice & Jasper in the 1860s?

it is RARE that I talk about Twific that is not an Edward/Bella pairing. Mostly because most of the fics I read are Edward/Bella and those are the ones that are recc'd to me. 


This fic was rec'd to me by Autumn because of my love of historical stories. I love them. you know this people that tell me to read fics know this historical fic is my thing 


This one is a neat one. Great time period and so far only 1 chapters but it is a  really really good chapter. Very descriptive. It sets a scene in a very frightening time of  American history, in the South during the Civil War. What I like so far is the set up we have going on here .


A farm. A battle going on. Alice hiding. She is alone, a young woman. When she comes out of her hiding spot she sees the carnage around her. She is a doctors daughter and has seen hurt people before but this is so horrible. She wants to help all of them but so many are beyond help. Then she comes upon a young man who is trapped under a horse, barely conscious.


Some other men are there helping the injured men. She calls them over and offers up her home as a temporary haven for the wounded. They all get to work preparing the home and men for surgery and that is where we are at right now. 


I look forward to seeing where this will take us. I like that she is sticking pretty close to the history of the time. I like that this Alice is not going to be the giddy bouncy super shopper of most fic Alices. SO if you are in the mood for reading a different pairing this one is the one to try.
