If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?
Trilby Busch Dante's "Inferno." It's a completely fantastic world, built from Dante's imagination. I'd take the route that Dante took, and of course I'd need to be accompanied by Virgil and an interpreter so I could talk to the souls who inhabit it. I'd wear sturdy hiking boots and a winter jacket. Most exciting hike ever!

Who is your favorite fictional couple, and why?
Trilby Busch Tristan and Isolde. The prototype for romantic love in the Western World. Love and death. Infinite passion, infinite frustration. Jealousy, violence, betrayal. Wagner's "Liebestod" (love death), sung by Isolde at the end of opera:
ertrinken, to drown
versinken, to founder –
unbewusst unconscious –
höchste Lust! absolute bliss!

I am very happy you wrote this. My family has deep roots, in Homestead, & I was loving every page, & identified with every street, tavern & shop as though I had lived there many years ago. I must get a copyof my own. Thank you, I can't sing your praises enough. I still shop "the Avenue" it is coming back slowly. Levine's Hardware, 8th Ave. will be a food & beverge spot, come Jan 2017, "Quenching Your Thirst".????
Trilby Busch Thanks for your comments. I'm glad you liked the book. I come back to Homestead periodically and I"m glad to see many signs of revival on Eighth Avenue.
