Book Recommendation

Are you searching for that next great read. I recommend... The Keeper of Dragons: The Prince Returns by J.A. Culican Published: June 21, 2016 Amazon / Goodreads How would you react if you found out you were a dragon?   Not just any dragon-the one who was fated to save all that was deemed true.  On his 18th birthday, Cole’s once humdrum life spirals into an uncontrollable battle for life or death. First, he learns that his family isn't really his own and his birth parents are actually dragons. With that legacy comes a special calling; devoting an eternity to protecting all true beings from creatures bent on controlling the Earth and bringing an end to dragons.  As the newly-minted Prince of Ochana, Cole is also the Keeper of Dragons and his first task is to keep the nefarious farro-fallen fairies-at bay. With no formal training, no control of his mahier-dragon magic, and fear like he’s never experienced before, will Cole be able to reach outside of his human side and e

As of May 30th , I can finally say that I am a published author! What an exciting day it was, too! I am so thankful to everyone who has lent a guiding hand and helped me along my journey to turn this dream into a reality. A million "thank you's" don't compare to the gratitude I have to each and every one of them.   While traversing through this writing experience, there were a few things I knew I had to achieve before I would ever think about publishing Terrapin. As a writer, one of the most critical components in the publishing process for me was to have a book cover that did my story justice, one that could rival the most gorgeous and creative covers out there, one that would shout LOOK AT ME! I believe a cover speaks volumes. From the colors, the font, the detail. We nailed it! I couldn't ask for anything more.    The second aspect that weighed on me was that fact that when I hit the publish button, I could no longer hide behind the idea of being an auth

Welcome!

Welcome to my little corner of the blogger world! First, let me tell you a little about myself... My love of reading developed later than most I'd say (in my 20's). During my elementary and teen years, I wasn't much of a reader to be honest. My attention wasn't focused on literature, but on sports and hanging out with friends. My goals were different then. I worked hard, became a professional cheerleader, then a collegiate D2 coach, judged competitive cheer at the highest level as well as various college tryouts.   Then, I met the man of my dreams, got married, and started a family. When I became a mother, "me time" was far and few between. A friend convinced me I had to read this book she just finished. I explained I wasn't much of a reader outside of my go-to US weekly and People magazines. With a little more prodding, I caved. To my surprise, I loved the book and immediately had to get my paws on the next immediately. Little did I know, a seed had b
