Dragon Ink “going to press”

Dragon Ink is now in the hands of book designers…

After 10 years this feels huge.

It’s had several titles—The Sonoma Dragon, It Takes a Sword and a Dragon, For the Heart of a Dragon, Dragon Writer, and finally Dragon Ink. Each version went through readers, editing, and proofreading. I pitched it at writing conventions and book events. Initial agents asked to read more, then passed. So I’d take more courses, find tougher readers, rewrite, and send it out again.

I’ve gained so much through this process. I’m taking what I learned forward to my next book.

It’s time my dragons had a chance to get out into the world. They can be a little needy—especially the big ones.
