Character Interview: Glory from A.L. Bryant's 'Blessed'

We’re thrilled to be talking to Glory from A.L. Bryant’s, Blessed: The Prodigal Daughter.  It is a pleasure to have her with us today at Pimp That Character!

Thank you for your interview, Glory.  How old are you and what do you do for a living?

Thanks for having me. I’m in my mid to late twenties and I don’t believe I’ve ever had a conventional job before.

What would I hate the most about you?

Sometimes I’m too serious.

What is your most treasured possession?

A weather-beaten alarm clock with big golden bells that look like ears.

What is your greatest fear?

That I’ll Spiral out of control.

What is the trait you most not like about yourself?

I see . . . things.

Do you think the author portrayed you accurately?

She does the best with what she has but she has only seen me at my worst.

What is your idea of a perfect day?

Lying in a field of vibrant flowers, the salt breeze gently brushing my cheeks. The sun is warm; I am dozing but not asleep. There are people I love around me and we talk and laugh until the sun goes down and the sky is covered in stars.

I’m opening up your cabinet.  What foods do I see?

One box of Cheez-its with one Cheez-it left. I just haven’t thrown it out. Even though this is temporary housing it feels good to have something in my cupboards.

Do you have children?

No. Maybe. Not with me.

When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I don’t . . . I can’t . . . Can we skip this question? It’s just, I’m not feeling well.

If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, what would you do today?

I can’t. I won’t. Not until I find out who tried to kill me.

About the Author

A.L. Bryant was born and raised in St. Petersburg FL. She became interested in writing at an early age; an interest that depending on the circumstance brought punishment (detention for passing out the latest installment of her novella during class) and praise (being chosen for a youth writers conference at the Poynter Institute.)  A.L. Bryant gets her inspiration from both her mother and her Great Grandmother. Her mother recently published an inspirational children’s book under a pseudonym and her great grandmother is South Carolina’s first published African-American female author and playwright.

Until recently writing had simply been a pastime for A.L. Bryant who although she attended several writing courses, graduated with a B.A. in International Business. It was shortly after her second job as a Financial Office Manager at a Goodwill correctional facility that she realized she loved writing more than anything else. It would still be some years before she would convert the short story she wrote in college into a novel.

Besides writing, A.L. Bryant loves traveling the world. God has blessed her with the opportunity to visit a total of seven countries. She has studied abroad in Seoul and has traveled throughout Kenya; two locations she researched for her Blessed series. Her dream is to visit every country in the world.

Her latest book is the supernatural Christian thriller horror novel, Blessed: The Prodigal Daughter.
