Interviews, Donuts, & Photos
I posted some links on Facebook today, but I know not everyone follows FB, so here they are for you all!
First, I yummy recipe link!
So I have a bit of a baking hobby. Recently, I made some donuts because I had to test out my new donut pan (so neat!), and I thought I'd share a delicious recipe for chocolate espresso donuts that I found at Gluten Free Canteen. This recipe is gluten free, but I have tried the results on gluten-loving humans who have pronounced it divine. The donuts are extremely rich and moreish.
The original recipe calls for espresso or coffee, but I'm not a huge fan of the flavor in my baked goods, so I substituted hot chocolate for a very chocolatey taste. And oh, I didn't mix up the special flour noted in the recipe, just used GF all purpose flour).
Next up, a couple of interviews
Audio Interview: I did a Skype voice interview with PNR Radio's Arial Burnz late last year, and the interview is now live. We talk books, writing, and travel, among other things.
Here are the links (also, I noticed the Itunes podcast says Explicit on it - lol! Alas, I'm pretty sure the most explicit thing in the interview is the word "pantser" ;-)). Link to PNR Radio website where you can listen to the interview online, plus here's the iTunes podcast link.
French Interview & Travel Photos
French readers - I recently did an interview with Les Rebelles and it's now online. I hope you enjoy!
The interview is in French, but even if you don't speak the language, you might enjoy the photographs from my travels. I'll caption them for you in English:
Page 42: #1 Snapped from a boat on the Danube in Budapest, Hungary #2 Taken from the TranzAlpine train in the South Island of New Zealand
Page 43: #1 Amber Fort, India (inspiration for Neha's Archangel Fort in "Archangel's Storm" - incidentally, you can see more shots of Amber Fort in my Travel Diary on the website) #2 Wild horses in Kagoshima, Japan (as mentioned in "Archangel's Legion")
Page 44: #1 Culture Parade, Frankfurt, Germany #2 Jaffar Gorge, Morocco (it was scary sitting on the edge!) #3 One Tree Hill, New Zealand in winter #4 San Francisco tram, USA
Page 45: Yosemite National Park (changelings!), USA

Also, I have to share a funny conversation I had with Ashwini yesterday.
A: So I was driving along a quiet side street (in the city) the other day, when a rabbit hopped in front of my car.
N: *stares* What?
A: A fluffy bunny rabbit. And there was a woman on the sidewalk who threw up her hands and made an actual eeep! sound. *demonstrates high-pitched eeping sound*
N: Seriously?
A: Yes, I think she thought I was going to run over the rabbit.
N: Are you sure you weren't hallucinating?
A: No, it was an actual rabbit. A brown rabbit.
N: Did the rabbit run away?
A: No, I stopped the car and it hopped back to the sidewalk with the lady.
N: The lady who went eep!
A: Yeah, it must've been her pet.
So there you go. Watch out for people walking their pet rabbits along city streets. (00)
