Sigh. We have finished a wonderful book! I won't tell you how it ends, in case you want to read it for yourself. I am considering changing the order of some of the books on my list. I will let you know what the next one is when I decide! :)
Read on!

How To Entertain Your Dragon
Dragons are known for keeping their prisoners alive for months so they can be "entertained." I suppose that eating everything in sight would make dragons a lonely species. Anyway, dragons love to watch a craftsman (or woman) at their work. Princess Addie's special talent lies in embroidery so she begins to embroider a portrait of Vollys, all the while planning her escape.

Dragon Killer?
Princess Addie has made good use of her seven league boots. So far she has defeated one ogre by ramming it into a watch tower, one specter (With Rhys' help), and seven gryphons (by gorging them with a magic table cloth).
Now she is in the clutches of the dragon Vollys.
Can she kill a dragon? Can meek, frightened, untrained Addie kill a DRAGON?
She has to.
Keep Reading!

In a Land of Strange Sights...
Here is a list of characters you might meet when you go on a quest in Bamarre.
Specter~ A monster that can take on any form. It's main goal is to deceive and kill humans by "leading" them to someone they love or something they want, hiding a fatal cliff or other obstacle from the victims' view. When (If) they are discovered, they begin to vanish. You can ask them one question at this point (Which they have to answer, although they don't always know the answer, and they usually answer in riddles.) if you can keep them from disappearing. To keep them from disappearing you must shout at them to stay. They leave no footprints.
Gryphon~ Gluttonous monsters that fly. They have beaks, lion's hides and eagle's feathers, but the latter two are disgustingly tattered and scarred. They will eat until they die from gorging. They are not very bright.
Ogre~ Another no-so-bright monster of the Bamarrian plains. Their speech sounds like rocks colliding, and they stand taller then the tallest man. They like to crush their victims with rocks.
Dragon~ Large. It's scales, when detached, can make a filling soup when placed in water, warm you when stuffed in your clothes, and keep mice out of your home when placed on the mantle. Their eyes turn wine red when they flame. At other times their eyes are translucent. Their bodies seem to be made of heat. Heat surrounds them wherever they go. They are known to be cunning, and they keep their human prisoners for months on end to be entertained by them. They love treasure.
Sorcerer~ They are born when lightning strikes marble. The flame that results fuels them their entire lives. When it goes out, they do to. They don't have to eat or sleep. Their eyelashes are white, while the rest of their hair is black. They do magic and are not generally evil.
Poor Princess Addie. She has relied on her sister Meryl her whole life as her protector and comforter. Now the positions are reversed. Will Addie find the courage to save her sister and her kingdom? Find out soon!

The Cat is Out of the Bag
Dear Readers,
I must confess something. A wonderful something!!! I have started writing a book! It is not my first, (My first of considerable length is currently in the editing stage) but it is a book nonetheless, and each new book that is begun is an exciting thing, don't you think?
Right now my main character is well, in a strange situation. You see, he has a green eye and a brown eye. The green eye sees truth (which I have defined as "what a thing is made of" equivalent to equations, symbols and analysis charts about the thing being "truthed") and the brown eye sees much more...
He has just discovered this anomaly when he is approached by a man he can only see when he covers his green eye. (Here is another explanation. Later on, my main character will find out that the two eyes cancel each other out when they are both being used.)
Anyway, that is what I am working on this New Year!
Why don't you pick up a pencil?
