Book Description

Unbeknownst to her, for centuries, she is has been one of thirteen others like her with the daunting task of helping to bring balance back to Mother Earth, a time when man walked harmoniously with the Fae and dragon.
With the world now in the dark ages ruled by the Church, Shion, with the help of handsome Ryven Blackmour, must find and take refuge with the Gypsy, to be taught the Gypsy Shuvani way, in hopes of remembering who she truly is.

Assisted by her new found coven of young witches, her heart and determination will be challenged, bringing her and them to the very brink of death and back in order to seek the forgotten knowledge, kept by the horse and the dragon; the dark secret of dragonhorse.

New Friends on Goodreads
Okay, so let me say I am more of a right brained thinker, living in the world of ever changing color and glimpses of magic that could be.
This Facebook and Goodreads stuff is way out of my league. I find myself fumbling around and apologizing under my breath for all the wrong doings I think I might be doing and trespasses I might be making.
I am a one on one person. I love intellectual conversations as long as they include horses, magic,spells,gypsies, fantasy...well as long as they are on subjects of my choosing...I don't have much time to listen to things that no longer serve or interest me..I sound like a snob...but actually it's the old soul speaking out.
I would like to thank all who have registered for a copy of my long awaited book! And I look forward to conversing with the winners or anyone who has read my book for that matter. I did not think it was appropriate to just try and friend all of you like on FB, since I know none of you...yet.
I would like to friend request all of you who have registered for my giveaway and this in a invitation to--friend me!
There are some of you who have already read my book and have told me they are as inept at this Goodreads and FB challenge as I, and want to "pick my brain". If you cannot reach me here or on FB, remember my website www.denicegarrou-dragonhorse.com. You can always reach me there.
I anxiously await chatting with all of you! And, good luck!

Oh, we just got another 15 inches of snow in the Colorado Rockies, my poor little mare is trying to spot me through my office window...she is sending me messages to come out and play. I will dress up like the little boy on the Campbells Chicken Soup commercial and go feed her some carrots.

Shanghai Book Fair Inquiries
It's been a while so thought it was time to catch up!
Dragonhorse went to the fair via Foreward Reviews through Association of Independent Authors which I am a member of. The Fair ended November 10th, if I remember correctly and since then I have had inquiries! Apparently this is a long process but considering all the titles available and me being an Indie that is very exciting for me! Sylvia Hayes will be my international rights/royalties agent for this process, since I would much rather write. This is a very difficult undertaking and I am clueless.
This is very encouraging for me to keep moving along on my series. See this book is not your usual pop out of your head kind of story. This series is taken from our forbidden and theoretical history of our world. Since I began studying earth based religions and healing modalities it has brought me deeper and deeper into the mystical realms of our world and worlds beyond. That which cannot be seen does not mean it does not exist. Remember when Christopher Columbus came to the Americas? The natives could not see his boat anchored off the shoreline. They had no idea “others” existed so their minds could not comprehend this information and their brains did not process this into a believable picture.
It was the Medicine Man who first noticed something going on when he saw the ripples in the water from the boats. He was the enlightened being of the people so he went beyond his peripheral seeing.
So, I must write as I myself go beyond my peripheral seeing. This series has been an awakening for me. And as I awaken I further understand more possibilities of our unseen and yes forbidden world. So, book 2 of the series, will take us back to one of Shion’s past lives. We will learn of her life as Sumayah, an up and coming priestess of the lost continent of Lemuria. Have you ever heard of it? I will tell my version of what I think happened to this lost world and I will incorporate the “Hollow Earth” theory. Have you heard of Agartha? It is the middle world, middle earth where the gypsies believe they came.
Even Hitler believed in Agartha and some believe he was able to get there and was sent there after his death. Not sure why they would let him in though.
The Journey to the Center of the Earth is the same theory, so you see others have been lead to this information and awakening too. I look at my path to writing as a journey of discovery. Writing this has been just as much fun as some of you found reading it. Those of you who do not get it and just enjoy will eventually have a light go on.
So, my point about inquiries with the book Fair. I must get the second book Dragonhorse and the Priestess of Lemuria, finished in case I am picked up. I am half way through and it is going much differently than I expected. Let’s just say I am pleasantly surprised.
Happy Holidays to all, I celebrate Yule which is also the Winter Solstice, the return of the sun and when the Holly King must die and give up his crown so the Goddess may give birth to the new Oak King; never ending turning of the wheel of the year.
