Featured Interview With Glynnis Campbell
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I was born in Chico, California, a town that stood in for Sherwood Forest in the original “Robin Hood” film, and raised in Paradise, California, which was famously destroyed by fire in 2018. I moved from my quiet home town to bustling Los Angeles after college. My household is patrolled by a fierce 7-pound Maltese, and my yard is critter-friendly, so we get visits from doves, squirrels, feral cats, a hawk, possums, and raccoons.
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I’ve been reading since I could hold a book, and I started writing not long after. Books were always a great and safe adventure for a shy little girl. I still have some books of poetry from 1st grade.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
I grew up on Howard Pyle’s King Arthur and Robin Hood stories, and I loved Ray Bradbury’s science fantasy stories as a child. My first romances were by Kathleen Woodiwiss. Now I read an eclectic variety of authors, ranging from Malcolm Gladwell to Dean Koontz, from Joseph Campbell to Tess Gerritsen. I like to get lost in edge-of-the-seat thrillers, but I also appreciate thoughtful reflections. As far as inspirations for my own historical romances, I reveled in Jude Deveraux and Julie Garwood books, which combined drama with humor, and nothing delights me more than the screenwriting of Joss Whedon.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
BRIDE OF ICE is Book 2 of The Warrior Daughters of Rivenloch. So many readers enjoyed my original series, The Warrior Maids of Rivenloch, and I didn’t want to abandon their favorite clan. So I decided to write about the adventures of their daughters, who are just as intrepid and courageous as the originals.
In BRIDE OF ICE, Hallidis Cameliard is a cool and commanding warrior lass with a clear destiny—a husband appointed by the king and eventual reign over Rivenloch. When her cousins are imprisoned by a Highland laird, she naturally takes charge, seizing the laird’s right hand man as a counter hostage. Captive Colban an Curaidh knows his clan cannot win a battle against the legendary Rivenloch army, so he must rely on his honor to keep the peace, charming Hallie’s clan and eventually melting her heart. But when he offers her a more permanent arrangement, fate snatches away her last chance for love. Only the desperate act of a champion with nothing to lose can give them the happiness they deserve.
