Friendly faces in a city of claws.

Luna and Ramon are back!

This week, I want to re-introduce you to two supporting characters in Home and Dragons. They may not have many lines, but they play essential roles.

Luna and Ramon are good friends to have around; however, each can bite. Luckily, only one has a lethal bite.

Luna first appeared in Midnight Loyalties. She’s grown up a lot since then. No longer one of the youngest freshmen on campus, she’s breezing through her classes and working a steady job that keeps her in the know about the not-quite-human population of Austin. It’s this connection that gives her a unique perspective into the happenings inside Dily’s house and makes her presence essential in Home and Dragons.

Side Note: Luna wants it made clear: she only fills in at the family coffee house when she must, unless there’s a good musician playing for Midnight Bites.

Ramon walked into the short story Tommy’s Problem, and he took on a supporting role in Midnight Wildes. Despite his rough introduction to Austin and its nightlife, he still likes living here. He’s not just a pretty face; he’s a good friend to have around. Once again, I ask you not to ask him why he cut his hair. He bites when he’s grumpy.

Peace, L.K. Latham

P.S.  Neither image is what I picture in my head when these characters talk to me; however, AI’s are getting better at making pictures, but replacing humans: Not.

A call of fate…

A sense of duty.

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.  . 

Missed part of Home and Dragons? Here’s the link.

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.

Peace, L.K. Latham

P.S. Haven’t heard of Kickstarter? Check it out here. It’s free to look around, but I warn you, there are so many cool projects to back, it can be addictive. I have to limit my time on the site.

P.P.S. You won’t find me on Kickstarter, yet. I’ll let you know when my campaign launches
