Technical problems with getting this promo to work the way I want. So . . . if you want a Kindle edition of The Dragon Clan -- In The Beginning, just email me with the link on my webpage and let me know. I'll gift you one to your email address. It is a short, 20,000 page book that is the beginning, and intended as an introduction to the next eight or so other books. If you like it, maybe you'll buy more, at least that's my hope. Sign up for my email list and send me a note that you want the book and I'll get it to you in a day or two. Thanks. 

I found myself in an odd situation this week. While working on Cold Knights, the plot was becoming predictable. While thinking of a possible way to resolve the issue, I worked on The Last Dragon and came up with several unique ideas to follow for it. At the same time, I resolved the plot issue with Cold Knights and wanted to get it onto "paper" before I forgot. So, I wrote a chapter of one book, then switched to the other. Then back again.

If my character is in snow I need another shirt and maybe turn the heat up. I have to speak with my characters, and often say their words out loud to make sure they are speaking li

So, this is more of a test of the new blog program. My new book Dragon Clan #8 Creed's Story is now published and available to buy. It pulls together much of the last two books and the new character is fun and irreverent. I think it is the best of the series. While finishing it, I've also been working on a tale of brothers called Cold Knights. One brother is a prince. The other is the illegitimate son of the king and unknown to all. I have it outlined and am enjoying writing the book but it needs a lot of work. The other is The Last Dragon, which is a book about a dragon (of course) and a servant who can work a little magic. Not much magic because he isn't powerful like a mage, but he can persuade someone to drink to excess and talk too much, or other minor acts that go unrecognized. He is the personal servant of a royal woman his age, and she is devious and adept at palace intrigue. He is more of a scamp. If anyone has any clever ideas . . . the outline of the book
