Hey Y’all! Im GIL! The kid you will never insult, the random 15 yo dude on the side of the road with his nose in a scroll, the writer who cannot control his hopelessly romantic heart or his well of tears for tragical happenings for the story world. For those of you wondering…. I was named for Anne of Green Gables and I AM PROUD OF IT. I am the eldest of 7, I am that superhero who cares nothing for veggietales(but secretly adores Larry), I am the guy who is too deep for his own britches… CALLING ALL DEEP THINKERS! I NEED MORE PEOPLE TO TALK TO! Im the guy who loves coffee with all his heart but also can drink it any way its served, at any time of day, as often as I want and a little as I want and have zero repercussions. The guy who writes all of his books from conspiracy theories and/or ancient “pseudo” history which for the record isnt as “pseudo” as its made out to be… more on that some other time.
Intellectual
I am a crazy kid. 15 years old and if you bring up the right subject the conversations may become a one sided ramble. I geek out over things like Philosophy and Theology, almost anything that requires deep levels of thought. I am a very critical thinker and reader and viewer. That just means when we finish a movie, expect to be up for another hour to listen to my rambles. Ask my sister Megan for more info on that front. Im more than happy to chat on those subjects!
Musical Freak
CARRYING THE BANNER FOR MUSICALS!!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE MUSICALS. I have a running list of 22 of them that Ive seen and have memorized a minimum of one song from… and thats not counting ones I havent seen yet that I geek out over the soundtrack for. Some of the best are Oliver, My Fair Lady, Newsies, Call Me Madam, Singin in the Rain, Music Man, Seven Brides For Seven Brothers, Sound of Music, Fiddler on the Roof, Greatest Showman, PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, Calamity Jane. Annie… etc….. I am a very singsongy person, my life is not the truman show, its a musical. Legit I sing all day, I have the emotional scenarios of most of the musical songs I listen to down sooo Youll find me singing songs appropriate to the scenario…. Like….. If you want to listen to music 24/7 come visit sometime!
Classic Books Monster
Classic Books, Classic Films, Classic Jazz, Classic Musicals Classical Music… and more. I would name favorites but I will MOST DEFINITELY GET CARRIED AWAY… Looks at top tens lists and sees dozens of titles because they are shared rankings But…. try Ivanhoe, Jane Eyre, Last of the Mohicans, Kilmeny of the Orchard, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Girl of the Limberlost, Les Miserables, Count of Monte Cristo, Phantom of the Opera, Men of Iron…. I got carried away….. Go ahead and scream if you want a longer list… I wish I had time for the Hentys and other counts on fingers toes at least a dozen times then loses track A lot… anywho… yeah. I am THE CLASSIC FREAK.
Hillbilly Homesteader
You can find me back up in the country, back in the hills, down in the hollers where the folks are real, livin with the crazies and the old wildcats, sawed off shotguns and coonskin caps!!! Im from the Ozarks of Missouri… that one midwestern state that might as well be the deep south. Where Y’all is mandatory and we are always blessing someone’s heart!
Historian and Researcher
I LOVE old history, ancient times and medieval, antediluvian or dark ages. You can find me digging through old manuscripts and texts and forming my own views of history. I am a very critical thinker so… that makes my history off the rails for the main historical narratives. My writing hinges off of this and all the things above are how I am, and how I write what I know. All things I love and cherish and work to preserve.
Y’all can find me Conspiracy theorizing and I am known as the crazy kid to even my conspiracy favoring friends. Not much you have to say will surprise me. It may intrigue but I’m past the point of no return with my conspiracies… Yes that was Erik peeking out… he has a bad habit of showing off even tho he’s SUPPOSED TO BE HIDING! Glares at Erik Go find Christine buddy. Nods and tromps off to love never dies Blech, why would you even start thinking about it Erik… considers fan-fic
And for all that insanity, I love helping others. That is my one passion, my one desire, what makes me happiest. If you need help with anything dont hesitate to call me up, I may not always be able to but I will try.
My books are very deep and heavy, dealing with topics like depression, PTSD, Bipolar, Suicidal, Trafficking/abuse of all three types. However the way my brain works, the characters should each have worldviews conflicting enough that you will be pulling a lot more than that out of it. My prayer is to give Yah(hebrew name of God) the opportunity to reach one person through the books he gave me. My content though should not exceed NA on any front, Closed door/No Spice sensual content, no explicit swearing(basically if a character does swear I just say “they swore” rather than use a word, and even that is rare) A solid helping of violence and no magic. My writing can fit into about 20 different genres if you put yourself in the right mindset but leans more historical fiction than anything else. My stories sometimes end with death, not always but sometimes.
More to come soon…
You can expect rambles on things Im passionate about or concepts, like mental health, that I geek over and dont really share in person cause there isnt the time or occasion.
