My dragon friend recently returned for a visit.
She doesn't have a name - maybe you can think of one? If so, please send to me!
Here's what transpired:
"You're Back!"
"I am indeed."
"What are you digging up now?"
"Your garden, of course. Like I always do."
"Yes, I can see that! But why?"
"A girl's gotta live, ya know."
"But all these holes! So many!"
""Trying to make up my mind."
"Well, why are you doing this now? It's not breeding season.
"Maybe just to get away from you humans."
"Hmm, not a bad idea."
"All those fires, now this viral disaster. You lot need to respect nature more. Much more."
"You're so right about that." She flung some dirt in my direction.
"Anyway, how's your writing going?"
"Great. I'm really busy with all kinds of ideas."
"I heard you're working on fantasy again.
"Yeah. I've been doing some paintings - characters from the books. What do you think?"
"Hmmm. Pretty good.. Who's this?"
"Read the book and find out."
She kept staring at the painting. I didn't want a mega claw mark on my painting, so I changed the subject.
"And, I've recently finished a comedy fantasy novella."
"Oh. That's something different. What's it about?"
"It's called "Dargo - Eco Hero!" It's a hoot. And, it's about nature. You'd love it."
"Any dragons in it?"
"R…e…a..d. Read and see."
She cast me a curious glare, so I didn't push it. She really is a very big dragon. So, I just gave her the link.
She just grabbed the paper from my hand and flung it away. Then, as if if she hadn't even seen it, she changed the subject. I guessed we were about even.
"So, what about your other fantasy series, "Real Magic? Courage, Cunning and Craft?"" The one with the paintings. What's that all about?"
"A plague, for one thing. And it's about REAL Magic! That's all I'm willing to say."
"Come on, give us a clue."
"You'll have to read it to find out."
"I keep telling you, it's too dark in here to read!"
"Right. Well, stay tuned then for the audio version. But for now, the e-version of book one in the trilogy, "Chelandra", is on sale for 99 cents. August 5th -12th. Here's the link:
More dirt came flinging. "Bloody computers."
And on that note, she disappeared into her hole.
She called something back to me, but I couldn't make it out. Something about atmosphere. I think she said, "Great for listening in the dark!"
