Amborlaine by DW Johnson
Amborlaine knew she’d been adopted. It would be impossible to keep that a secret. Early on, it grew clear that she wasn’t a Gnome. She didn’t sport a bulbous nose or white hair and she outgrew her father at about five years old, though in all other senses Amborlaine was Gnomish. She ate the same food, played the same games, went to the same school and most important of all she learned the same skills– the skills of being a Tinker.
Amborlaine Greentinker’ reality turns upside down, as the outside world forces itself into her life. She is unwittingly launched on a quest for the legendary dragon orbs. Laine must face decisions that will alter her destiny and the fate of the Realms of Xenkur.

What inspired you to write your book?
All my inspiration comes from my faith in Jesus Christ.
Here is a short sample from the book:
"Not a good idea, Laine.” Tanlen didn't even raise his head. He was too busy trying to fit the last piece. Besides, this conversation took place so frequently the old man could argue alone.
"Pada, you say the same thing every time." Laine hoped now that she was older, her father would agree to the idea.
"You're a Tinker, and this is Tinker Town, you should be used—" The old Gnome didn't finish his sentence. A gear flew off and ricocheted against the rear wall; then a spring fired off and hit the ceiling. A cable came loose and flailed its way directly at Laine. She managed to back away from the stinging menace, tipping the chair backwards and landing on her rump.
"Pada, I think—" A second cable whipped at her face.
