Interview with Shirley McLain, Author of Princess Adele's Dragon + Giveaway

Princess Adeles Dragon banner


Welcome to Shirley McLain, author of Princess Adele's Dragon! She is here to tell us a bit more about her writing and herself. The blog tour is organized by Lola's Blog Tours and runs from 31 May 31 through June 13. You can view the tour schedule here.


Tell us about the main character. Who is Adele?
Princess Adele is the headstrong sister of Robert, King of Valdoria. She was raised to be independent and care for herself. When she disagrees with her brother on how to save the kingdom it sets her on a path that changes her life and everyone’s around her.

Adele sounds like such an intriguing character. What inspired you when creating her?
I think the strong independent woman I’ve had around me all my life inspired me.

Where did you find inspiration while creating your fantasy world?
It came from my muse. I sit in front of the computer and it spills out though my fingers onto the screen. I’ve never practiced outlining for any of my books.

Will this be an ongoing series or is this a standalone story?
I haven’t decided yet. I’ve been thinking about doing another one but can’t decide. When the time is right I will know if it’s supposed to happen. It does have potential.

If you could visit any fictional place, where would you go?
If it has to be pure fiction I will say Hogwarts Castle from Harry Potter.  I would like to see the magic at work and be able to explore all the rooms in the castle. I could imagine seeing some great things stored away. Of course, I would want it to be a very peaceful time.

What’s your favorite TV show or movie?
My favorite TV show is Dancing with The Stars. I never miss the show.  If I have to be away from the TV on Monday night I record the program. I’m not into TV, but I do love old movies. I think my favorite movie is The Thorn Birds starring Richard Chamberlain.

What’s your go to comfort food?
It has always been chicken and dumplings.  My Mom made the best, but since she passed away I’ve not gotten any that were as great as hers. Next to that I will have to say steak and baked potato. If I’m desperate it’s anything I can get my hands on.

  21. "It's best to read the description thoroughly to get a sense of the flavour. Otherwise, you can wind yourself getting something that you don't care for. Their crust, which is packed with flavorful cream cheese and excessive toppings, is the greatest part of their pizzas. Ranch, mayo garlic, and garlic butter are among the sauces used with it. Without garlic butter and garlic powder, pizza is just not complete. pizzeria bahadurabad menu
