I remain busy at my desk (ahem, comfy chair) each evening working on book two in the Songkeeper Chronicles, and I’ve had the pleasure of visiting several blogs for interviews or guest posts over the past month and a half since Orphan’s Song released. But in the meantime, my ability to keep posts flowing on this blog has greatly diminished. Poor Alexander, Fate, and Destiny have been stuck with Wizard Doomsday in the Plucky Lass for far too long … never fear, I fully intend to return to their story in the near future. (Unfortunately, I hear they’re still working on that mysterious time multiplication machine that would enable people to be in two places at once, accomplishing twice as much as normal—but I am at the top of the list once the technology is realized!) For now however, I wanted to link to several of the interviews and guest posts I have done for your reading pleasure until I can get a real, honest-to-goodness post ready to go up here. Turn it Beautiful (on Angie Brasheer’s blog) A post about writing through the hard times in life to turn the pain into beauty. “The speculative fiction genre is all about the grand “what ifs.” Using imagination and the ability to speculate to “create” in imitation of the Creator. But it’s hard to imagine what could be when what is presses in on your senses, so dark and heavy and close.” The Stories that Shape Us and the Characters that Change Us (on J.L. Mbewe’s blog) A post about how the books we read in childhood can shape who we become… “My favorite characters became more than just characters, and more than just a child’s imaginary friends. They became me and I became them … And as I devoured book after book, the stories I loved and the characters I admired seeped beneath my skin and left an indelible mark on who I am today.”
Interview with Angie Brashear Y’all know me as a writer, horse-rider, and fantasy lover from Texas, but that doesn’t completely sum it up. In this fun interview, I reveal three random facts you almost certainly didn’t know about me… Interview with Lisa Godfrees Lots of fun questions here about music, whether I am a Christian Author or an Author of Christian Fiction, and secret backstories. Interview with the Scriblerians Find out which character in Orphan’s Song is most like me and why … You might be surprised! That’s it for now, but there will be more posts coming soon!

Orphan’s Song
by Gillian Bronte Adams
I just looked through all these posts…thank you for sharing these with us! Sidewinder…I remember that nickname from camp, in the skit where they fight over the mail-order bride and everyone dies :) I really love your blog. I check it every day :)

Wow! I'm impressed that you remember that nickname. Such a fun skit though. I'm glad you enjoy the blog. I try to keep it updated as often as I can, but life sure does get busy sometimes! :)
I know you don't update it every day, I still check it though. Just like I always check the mailbox on Saturdays and Sundays even though I know they aren't bringing mail on those days :) It's a funny habit :)
