Small Dragons: A Secret Santa Initiative
From the beginnings of man, to the end of life, the Small Dragon has been a phenomenon that Blink’s into existence from time to time. Dare to Blink as the seemingly insignificant phrase, “Small Dragon” ties these series of short stories together, following the thoughts of a multitude of authors from different genres and two travelers in time and space. From the cold night and innocent thoughts of a young girl, to the debts owed of a King and what he would sacrifice to protect his kingdom. An explosive pod race, can there be a winner? A future where the loser does not survive to tell their tale and must rely on their victors to write the truth. Be engrossed in the thoughts of a peaceful species whose emotions are poisoned by humanity. Will they seek revenge in the darkness of space? Can you blame them if they do? The puppet’s strings will be pulled; however, will he dance if all he believes is real is tested in a bank robbery gone wrong? Enter the dark mind of a serial killer and decide for yourself if his thoughts are evil, or no longer his own. Thoughts turn to the caverns within the earth. Do you dare enter and face the demons below? Secret government facilities, experiments and out of body experiences, are they spirits, ghosts or experiments gone awry. Cyborgs, mutants, Werewolves; or are they, Wolf-humans? What is the difference? Where is the line drawn? Where do we stop? Are we beyond playing God?
And upon it all, your reflection we seek if you dare to enter the mirror and these stories of the talented and meek…

4 books5 followersThank you for taking the time to enter my thoughts and My World.
The world of “The Star Crystal” was something that I did not make up. Rather it came to me in a time of need. After many years working in the same job, I turned up to work, got myself stuck in a drum heating oven. Just imagine a massive, double-door steel box. Freaked out with mass claustrophobia and phoned my partner in crime. I can still remember those words, “I know that we have only been here for fifteen minutes, but I really need to go for a break.”
Now, I am not sure what triggered that moment in time. Was it the fact that I had just turned 34, or that I was having a really bad morning? I am sure there were many other factors that led me to that fateful day and the birth of the voice from the prologue! I do say birth, as I have never written what I wanted my characters to say! I have transcribed for them to the best of my ability while they speak and act within my mind, both in my dreams and waking thoughts… This is also the way I write their stories, well lives, as I truly believe I live with them and am merely a Storyteller. A role that I am more than happy to take up…
Writing was always a passion for me. I can always remember having a pen and pad around especially during school holidays. Well, a pen, a pad and a bow and arrow. I have many stories written from the heart, all of which will never leave those pages or grace the world of published novels. My dream and my abilities were lives apart. Fortunately for me, my abilities, or was it my life experiences finally caught up with what my heart wanted to do. Writing is my passion; Story telling is in my soul…

Great concept! Inconsistently applied, which was a shame but great to read some new authors. Joyce Johnson was a stand out. Would be great to see another anthology.
