Thanks for being a reader!

 I wanted to let y'all know I appreciate you guys. It's been over a week now since my latest release, The Things Dragons Do, and I appreciate your support through this journey to get everything done. It was a really fun book to not only write, but to illustrate as well. I even used new mediums I hadn't previously explored, which is a bonus. I hope the result is more than pleasing to y'all. 

 I also hope you like the little tidbits I've shared about the various dragons from around the world. I tried to get a good representation in the best light possible. And, honestly, I had a blast making this work of love for y'all.. It definitely helped me get through what has already been a difficult year, so thank you to those who have already purchased a copy, or who plan on purchasing a copy.

 

In other news, in case you hadn't heard, I am already working on the next children's book. The manuscript is still in draft form, so I'll refrain from giving you the working title, since I'm not sure if it will change yet or not. But I already have a general idea of what I want the illustrations to look like, as well as the medium I'll be using to color them. As always, I'll be drawing them by hand first. and I anticipate a Spring 2027 release date, so keep an eye open for that.

 

I am also working on writing a dystopian novel, though I have no generalized release date for that one, since I'm not sure how cooperative the story, let alone the characters, will be. I've got a lot of projects in the works and I'm slowly trying to check off each one, including updating my script adaptations of my previous YA novels. Fingers crossed those changes will make them more palatable to the various contests available to me.

 

Other news, I am working on other art, and a few sewing projects, though I did finally finish one that I'd started way back last year.... Took me look enough. lol. But that one's done, and I have a new one in my sights. Gotta keep the creativity going when the stories are giving me the middle finger, after all. Maybe I'll post a pic or two of my latest sewing project once it's done, if it turns out the way I hope it will. We'll see. ;-)

 

As always, please continue to support me. And keep writing! 

 

 

The Things Dragons Do is LIVE!

 Hello one and all. I am pleased to announce that The Things Dragons Do is officially launched and live for order!

 

 This book is a labor of love, and a tribute to all dragon lovers, myself included. Born from an idea my husband gave me, I was surprised at how quickly it all came together. From trying new art methods, and a new formatting program, this has been a most interesting journey.

 

As part of my preparations for this book, I researched different dragons from around the world, taking the most positive qualities and transforming them into the cute little characters you will find inside. If you've followed my social media pages, you've probably seen some of those culture-specific references. But I wanted this book to be a representation of as many cultures as I could fit, so I hope I did well on that end.

 

You can purchase this book now on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or pretty much any online book retailer. 

Sneak Peek into the World of Dragons

 

We're just two weeks away from the launch of The Things Dragons Do, and I'm thrilled to share a sneak peek into the book. In this book, you'll get to explore the different cultures of dragons and learn about their unique traditions and activities. 

From counting treasure to playing on rainbows, my book is all about showing the fun and playful side of dragons. I've included a few sample pages from the book, so you can get a feel for the story and the illustrations. If you have any young readers in your life, I think they'll love this book. Let me know if you have any questions or if you'd like to learn more about the book.

 (You can pre-order at Amazon or Barnes and Noble)
