Hey there! I write dragon novels!!!
@talismanbrett -
My background in writing stems mostly from the inspiration I found as a kid when I read Fantasy and Sci-Fi books. These include The Chronicles of Narnia, The Xanth Novels, The Time Quintet, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and everything from Shakespeare to Dr. Seuss. In my formative years, I joined several punk rock bands and wrote songs, poetry, and short stories aplenty. As an adult (?) I took on a dare and wrote the first book in my Talisman Series. I loved the feeling it gave me and the idea of inspiring others so much that I kept writing until I had an entire series.

So, I have a character in book 3 and beyond named Jericho, and he is easily my favorite character. He's ripped straight out of a shounen anime being the silent, mysterious type with blue/blonde chunked hair. He wears a hoodie and is usually meditating or just being aloof from the rest of the group. When it's time for battle though, he's the fiercest and bravest, never backing down from a fight. He's basically a ninja on steroids. And he ALWAYS puts in his earbuds and blasts some abrasive, punk-rock music while cutting down Darkbrands! Plus, his magic spell, Chaos Eater, is pretty original for the fantasy genre. I've never read anything like it before. Thank you, Maura!(less)

Need 5 people to read my series before I release Part Two installments.

Will anyone step up to the challenge? I'm just asking for a friend.

Keep a wary eye out for portals,
