Seriously though, life has become complex for me, and so I don't get to update this site as often as I would love to. Besides being a writer, I am a gardener, and a grandmother to two and 2-2/3 grandchildren. Yep, the math is right, I have two grandsons—one 10 years old and the other almost 11 months, and a little granddaughter due in late November. I babysit the youngest boy regularly, which has cut down on my internet time, since he needs my complete attention. We are also in the midst of the gardening season, and the veggies are coming in hand over fist. I am up to my elbows in produce right now, when I'm not weeding or watering. I'm also in the middle of writing a novel, a short story, and doing various editing jobs. Can you spell BUSY? LOL
WHEW!!!!!!!
So those are my obligatory excuses. Now let's talk dragons—specifically Companion Dragons.
I have yet to hear a definite release date for FINDING WAXY, but I've heard sometime late summer or fall kicked around. Roger has turned in his author bio and a picture, and it's been in editing. Believe me, I will let you know when it's available, because this one has been a long time coming!
Thought you might enjoy seeing the completed cover art, in color! Roger very enthusiastically approved the cover. Me too!
COPPER'S CHOICE remains in the hands of the first editor, who is currently busy with other projects. That one would be a release sometime next year at the earliest. The original tale was a short story that has now been expanded into a novella. I think you're really going to enjoy that one too. A brand new dragon and human companion in this one, but there will be a cameo appearance by one well know witch from earlier in the series.
Roger has sent me several preliminary story ideas for the further adventures of Waxy Dragon. I am collecting them with thoughts of how they will work in an anthology novella. Now let me ask you all a question: What would you prefer to see, a book that is comprised of stories featuring only one Companion Dragon, or a mixed bag of stories about two or more little scaly wonders? I'd really love feedback on that, either via our email addy here (magicdragonverse@gmail.com), on Facebook or Google+, where I am known as Nancy A. Hansen. Yeah, that's my actual name. Look for an array of my books behind my avatar pic.
Lee has turned in a proposal for a Kiri Dragon origin story. That one would likely be a 2016 release. Very excited with what I've seen so far on this, and anxiously awaiting the actual tale. Lee is the originator of the Kiri part of the CDT series, and I can tell you that after the initial story, which tells us something about her past, she will be getting a brand new Human companion and they will be going on to further adventures in a more familiar setting.
As I've said before, we three have a lot of plans for these adventurous and engaging little dragons and their well-intentioned but often unprepared human companions.
Until next we meet...
~Nancy
