Blog postIf you'd said to me twelve years ago I'd be writing a short screenplay and winning an award, I would have laughed. Books and scripts are very different forms of expression and I never thought I'd have the confidence to attempt the latter. However, I decided to give it a try after getting inspiration from a writer who'd made the journey from books to TV when his Christmas story screenplay was produced.
I started with The Dusk Chronicles, and after researching format and using a free pr -
Blog postPlease join me on Saturday, April 23rd, for the introduction to Alex McKenna & A Winter's Night! This has been a long time coming and I'm so happy to unveil the third book in the Alex McKenna series.
So if you've been pacing the floor, wait no more! The Geranium Deaths, and The Academy of Souls will be around too, so if you'd like to start the series pick up all three because in September 2022, the fourth and final book will be arriving.
I'm so excited to see everyone, so -
Blog postFor those of you familiar with my background, you know I was born in New York. When I was halfway between fourteen and fifteen, my dad moved us to California. The job opportunities for him were more lucrative, and being stationed there after the Korean War, he yearned to go back. He loved the groves of lemon and orange trees and the open land.
Unfortunately, the California my dad remembered no longer existed and when we arrived he was a bit shocked and saddened. However, he still love -

Blog postI'm going to keep this short, I know it's Monday and we're all trying to get our feet back on the ground after the weekend. I just wanted to share that all my events for the year are now listed on my webpage. So please, when you have a moment check out the future fun, and I hope to see you soon! https://www.vickiannbush.com/events-1

Blog postWith covid restrictions relaxing a bit, our town is once again slowly coming alive. Still adhering to the mask mandate for Las Vegas, the Coffee House Tours & Moi, are resuming our book signings.
I thought I'd share a few that are coming in February and March that I'll be doing with CHT and my individual signings. I'm also including CHT events I'm not participating with, but they'll feature a host of talented local authors.
I don't have posters for all of them yet, so tha -
Blog postThe picture above is not the house but is similar to my childhood memory.
Growing up in Floral Park, my BFF and I would often take long walks through the neighborhood. Sometimes with a destination in mind and other times, not so much. This was a good way to squelch boredom and feed our mutually inquisitive minds. Often creating short stories of fantasy and sometimes plain goofiness, there was one paranormal encounter we didn't have to spin, because this one was very real.
A ho -

Blog postYesterday I took a much needed relax day. Curled up by the fire on my favorite chair, a blanket and Curie, my chihuahua & Yorkie little girl, cozy in my lap. I was in a Christmas movie mood so I decided to put on a Netflix film, 8 - Bit Christmas. An adorable story, I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I wasn't prepared for the ending and it hit me hard.
I won't put any spoiler warnings because I'm not going to go into detail. I will say it made me reflect on my dad and how much I mi -
Blog postOne of the questions I'm frequently asked about is the editing process. Working with an editor as a traditionally published author, there are deadlines to meet and that makes the process a bit different than self-publishing. After I parted ways with my previous publisher, and with the encouragement of my self-published friends, I decided to release a few of the older titles on my own. It was strange for me to not have someone setting a date for completion, but it also had the perk of less str

Blog postIt's no secret I come from an Italian background. Both sets of my great-grandparents came from Naples, and growing up there was a lot of Italian spoken amongst the family. When I was writing the Alex series, I wanted to hold on to that heritage and share it with you. Unfortunately, all of the family that was fluent in the language has since moved on, and my lessons ceased after I lost my Grandmother. Over the years I've still held onto the thought of one day picking up where she left off, but

Blog postThe celebration of the thinning veil between our world and the next has passed, but if you're anything like me, you hold onto the spirit of All Hallows Eve in your heart all year long.
Part of that celebration is a compilation of spooky & spine chilling short stories from the authors of Parliament House. This year I opted in, and I'm so happy I did. It gave me the idea of dabbling a little deeper into the possibility of how the relationship of Alex and Victor might end. I had a bl -
Blog postAs 2021 winds down, and limited book signings have resumed, I'm excited to share with you a few upcoming events. The biggest one, & one I'm so excited to be a part of, is coming up this weekend. A three day event October 8th - 10th, ClexaCon is the first and largest multi-fandom event for LGBTQ+ women, trans and non-binary fans and creators. I'll be featuring Alex McKenna, my series about a seventeen-year-old transgender boy with psychic abilities. So please, drop by and show your support

Blog postToday I'm putting aside all things books to bring you information. I feel responsible to share because in the past, I spoke highly of Matt & Nat's products. Unfortunately, like they say, when the chips are down, true colors emerge.
In my quest to become cruelty free with my wardrobe, a few years ago I gave away all my Coach and Michael Kors leather bags and scoured the universe for a cruelty free, designer option. After carefully checking all the companies available at the time, I -
Blog postMy first memory of being connected with things other than the reality around me, was when I was five. We lived in an apartment community where everyone knew everyone. My best friend and I had made a pact, we'd wait for our parents to fall asleep and then we were going to run away. Apparently we were frustrated with the hierarchy and this seemed like a viable plan.
I remember laying awake in my bed, faking sleep each time one of my parents would check on us. My brother Joey and I share -

Blog postMany Americans will be celebrating this July 4th with a renewed appreciation of what it means to be able to get together with family and friends. Coming from a year that had most of us barricaded behind closed doors and sharing time with loved ones on the screen of our phones, iPads, and computers, the human touch had been sorely missed.
Now that we're slowly finding a new normal by which we can share visits, dining out, and other outings outside the confines of our homes, we are conn -
Blog postI'm so excited to announce that for the month of June, Alex McKenna & The Geranium Deaths is available on NetGalley. If you're a NetGalley member, or maybe you've been thinking of joining, and you've been mulling over the series, here's your chance to get an introduction into the world of Alex McKenna.
"The exceptional narration of Vicki-Ann Bush ties readers to the story with the promise of an unimaginable twist. And the sensitivity with which the plot presents the concerns -
Blog postI started my Alex McKenna journey nearly five years ago. From conception, until the first book was written, contracted, and published, I knew there'd be an ending. I've been quietly celebrating the day that Alex would be released from my day to day and become complete.
Now don't misunderstand, I've loved every minute of this journey and feel so privileged to have had the opportunity to breath life into a character that means so much to me. Thank you to The Parliament House, without yo -

Blog postThis was the first thing that entered my mind a little over two and half weeks ago when my doctor handed me a diagnosis of diverticulitis. Growing up, I always related this gut wrenching monster as a disease reserved for the senior set. The generation that advertised Geritol, compression hose, and the benefits of prune juice. I couldn't have been more misguided.
After scrounging for any bit of info I could get my hands on, I found that like most on line medical research, there were mo -

Blog postI find myself a bit foggy on this Thursday afternoon. Doc started me on a new fibromyalgia medication and it's sort of like putting your brain on hold. Oh and my fingers, they're typing whatever the heck they want to. LOL It'll take a few days but it should all settle.
That being said, I'm so excited. The Coffee House Tours will be resuming in a more casual mode of signings but signings nonetheless. Our first venture will be with the following partners:

Blog postAs authors we are forever chasing that well known beast—reviews. A good review can elevate your books to a level that catches a reader's interest and a bad one can just as easily close the book before the first page is turned. However, as a reader, I like to compare. I don't take a 2.5 or 3 star review at face value. I peruse through all the posts and then come to my own conclusion on whether or not to buy the book.
Unfortunately, this isn't always the case, a negative paragraph or tw -
