Dragons! Where do They Come from in History?
From the “Hobbit” to “Game of Thrones”, and of course “Dungeons and Dragons”, dragons have been a fantasy go-to for thousands of years. For how obsessed we are as a culture with these mighty creatures, it begs the question, where did these mythological beasts come from?

“I’d heard rumors and whisperings of the woodcutters. Heralded almost as the villains in old legends, the woodcutters' reputation preceded them. Many said they were dangerous wanderers, magicians, thieves, and murderers who worshipped trees and killed anyone who trespassed near their sacred groves.”

A big hi from Redmond, Davonna. Thank you for accepting my friend request. I see that we share a love of Lovecraft. Have you heard about the convention in Portland this April?https://www.facebook.com/events/61085...

Hey Davonna!So, we just figured out that apparently half the people trying to contact us have been sent straight to our spam box. D: We saw your review request, though. And would totally be honored to review Scarlette, if the offer still stands ...
P.S - I'm getting my pink highlights,soon. When my hair is dyed blonde. So psyched! :DD
Thanks again!

Hey, sorry I'm just replying to this. The woman that did my cover was Australian designer Scarlett Rugers. Here is her website if you'd liked to see: http://www.scarlettrugers.com/
Glad the book hooked you and thanks for commenting! Happy holidays!
LOL, pink is so much better! Especially the pink in your hair. I want to dye my hair blonde, then dip dye it the color that's in your hair. Thanks, my friend did it for me. (:
Awwwh, thanks so much, Demitra! That's sweet of you. :D I just sent you a message. :DDemitra wrote: "Can I just say that I loove your hair? (:"

David, I DID see that that event was happening next month in Portland! There was a Kickstarter campaign for something in regards to the convention, if I remember correctly, not too long ago. Are you going? I love Lovecraft's concepts, stories, and ideas. However, sometimes the prose can get a little bogged down. ;) I'm sure you know what I mean. My favorite of his stories is THE NAMELESS CITY. Have you read that one? Love it!
