“Dragon”...
'Ancient and ageless, mythical symbol of absolute power—majesty of blazing strength and aged wisdom harnessed in perfect balance ~~ Fearless and decisive, it moves with bold, confident steps. Its image stirs the imagination and leaves us humbled and in awe until we accept the wisdom that it dwells within each of us ~~ It is the part of the human spirit that never falters, never fails' ~~ Anonymous
I enjoy writing, both for the challenge and the therapy. I love fantasy, for in it, you can create anything you desire and make it believable.
The rewritten "Legend of Dragamere" is now available on Smashwords.com (ebook), Lulu.com (paperback/harcdover), Amazon Kindle and many other sites on the web. The sequel/prequel, "Blood of Dragamere" is still a work in progress. The two volumes are the redone editions of "Dragonchild", "The Mystery of Dragon Hall" and "Drágön Blood", which are now out-of-print.
I have also compiled my "not-so-poetic" poetry and short stories in my book, "Dreams Nightmares Visions", which is still available.
I write what I feel and what I "see", either from personal experience or just viewing a piece of art.
Creativity is a special gift, putting it into words is an art. Hopefully, what I have written, appeases both.
As for my inspiration and determination, I give my father most of the credit. He always told me, "You never know what you can achieve until you try and then, you may just surprise yourself with what you are capable of." He died June 15, 1985 and never lived to see my accomplishments.
