Home and Dragons Part 4: Order Now

Hi,

This time, there’s more than one dragon in the house. 

From now through Sunday, 28 June, it’s available for $.99.

One of their own is attacked by a mind-bending Fae as another, long feared enemy strolls into the house. Surprising allies arrive. The fragile sanctuary of Dilys’ home is threatened as the team races to protect it and the infant dragon.

Who’s Pulling the Strings in Home and Dragons?

Hi,

Let’s talk about the stars of Home and Dragons who keep the show going. Behind every smiling face on the screen, there’s a huge cast of support characters that keep the project going. Today, let me introduce you to the show’s producer, Doreen, and her number one production assistant, Tabby. 

Yes, this looks a bit like a mug shot, but she hates being in front of a camera. She barely tolerates those who are. And no, she’s not grumpy. That’s her smiling face. Scowling and swearing are her natural states. It makes her a good producer, according to her. That being said, don’t write her off as just another terrible boss.

No matter how nice I try to be, Tabby’s incredibly shy once the camera is on and clamps her mouth closed. She’s the first production assistant for the show and Doreen’s right hand. She has big dreams and will do just about anything to reach them.

P.S. A quick reminder: I’ll be releasing Home and Dragons as a paperback book later in the year. Actually, I’ll be releasing a regular trade paperback and one pretty book via Kickstarter in time for the Holiday Wish List.

Pretty Books and Cool Stuff

Hi,

A couple of you asked me why I’m releasing Home and Dragons as a series instead of one book. I’ve got a simple answer: Costs.

Okay, it’s not really all that simple. Let me explain. 

Lots of folks want a real paper-bound book. I love them too. As much as I love carrying an entire library with me in my eReader, there’s nothing like the feel of physical paper with a cover in my hands. So, those of you wanting the paperback, it’s coming.

The costs for you: By sending it to you in parts, I can sell each part for less than the parts as a entire book. You like it and tell your friends, and they buy the ebook in parts now or later as one complete ebook. Sales drive sales. More people reading, more reviews, more sales. Then I have enough to create a pretty book.  .

The costs to produce a nice looking physical book? Wow! It’s a lot. But I want a pretty book for Home and Dragons. It deserves it.Yes, I will publish a trade paperback at ordinary prices, but did I tell you that I really want a pretty book? Imagine  an image or two inside the book, a shiny cover, maybe a ribbon to mark your place. A book like this cost considerably more upfront to produce. 

Here’s part 2:

This will be fun: I’m going to run a Kickstarter campaign to raise money specifically for the pretty book. 

Home and Dragons has been such a grand adventure, I can’t wait for this next part. Details to follow.

One Encounter: A new story begins

Hi,

Took a lovely weekend off to visit my in-laws for Mother’s Day. We had a full day together with all the siblings and Mom. It was great! Of course, I had quiet time too. 

On Saturday morning, I sat on the patio of my hotel room, enjoying the dry morning air and writing words. A rustling of leaves made me jerk and search. A large bush separated the patio from a common walkway. The rustling came from the dried leaves under it. Knowing how common snakes are in the area, I didn’t move until my eye caught a large lizard watching me.

He/she dashed out of the leaves towards my patio, froze, and stared at me. We stared at each other until, faster than a blink, he/she circled back under the bush and dead leaves, his camouflage working very well. He/she was hard, but I found him/her staring back at me.

Clark’s Spiny Lizard

I went back to work, but kept one eye on my new friend. He/she had a good idea of how dragons should act. The lizard repeated the darting around the bush, coming to the edge of the patio, staring at me, and circling again. It was fun. I remained in the chair, typing until he/she stood close to me. That’s when I got out my phone and snapped a few pictures. 

I hope the Clark’s Spiny Lizard enjoyed the watching game as much as I did, but at last, he/she dashed away, down the lawn, disappearing around a corner. Suddenly, a bird, much too fast for me to identify, swooped after him/her. I hope my new friend got away.

I’ve always liked lizards. Maybe that’s why I’m having so much fun writing about dragons.  

Peace, L.K. Latham

P.S. Home and Dragons is on track. I have some exciting news about it, but I’ can’t tell you yet. Please stay tuned.
