The land is called Dragonswold, but the dragons are all dead…or are they? A young woman holds the key to resurrecting their legendary power. The shadows are filled with those who would do anything to claim the magic for themselves.

About Me:
Writer, blogger, lover of fantasy creatures, especially dragons. Currently revising/editing a high fantasy novel (Cave of Whispers), querying Fantasy/Sci-Fi short stories and collecting vintage cookbook for a retro cookbook project. My career has included book seller, used/rare book buyer and bookstore manager. Certified book geek.

Besides creating fantasy worlds, I evaluate estates for people who have inherited libraries from a family member. I sort out the collectible titles, advise on what to donate and sell/auction those books they don’t want to keep.
When not buried in books and editing, I spend time with my family (my granddaughter is a special joy) and hike various parks in northern California with my partner Diane. We especially love Point Reyes National Seashore. I’m a cat mom to an opinionated ginger named Leo.
