About
Vivienne
Vivienne spent her childhood in Italy, surrounded by delicious food, art, and music. When she was not visiting medieval castles, she enjoyed writing in her personal diary and to correspond with pen-pals. As a voracious reader, she grew up devouring Agatha Christie and Victorian Gothic classics.
She has been an animal lover ever since she can remember, and she contributes to the rescue of farm animals and the preservation of wildlife both locally and globally.
Vivienne is a member of an esoteric school and its teachings inspire her writing. She created a space for the mystic by founding Bibliotheca Veneficae Literary Parlor, a Victorian-themed library and book club.
Vivienne is the author of Athanasia: A Gothic Short Story.
She lives in Pennsylvania with her children and pets.
My Interview with Awesome Gang
Interview With Author Vivienne Branson
Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Vivienne, and I’m an emerging author. I grew up surrounded by art and history in Imola, Italy, a town known for the F1 races.
Since I was a child, I have always loved writing. I still keep a personal diary that I wrote over thirty years ago, and it covers six years of my life.
My favorite authors are Agatha Christie, Lord Byron, Marie Shelley, and Edgar Allan Poe. They influenced me as a human and a writer. I have published one book; it’s a Victorian-style Gothic short story.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The name of my book is Athanasia: A Gothic Short Story. Athanasia means immortality in Greek. In this story, we have two love stories in which the protagonists — who belong to the living and the dead — face important issues such as identity, grief, and immortality. I love Théophile Gautier, and his work, Clarimonde, was the inspiration behind my tale.
