ADVANCE REVIEW FOR FIRESTORM OF DRAGONS
"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of writing and storytelling compiled into this anthology. Several of the authors also have a knack for comic relief and suspense in their writing which always tends to make a story more appealing to me. ...check out this anthology especially if you're into Dragons and Fantasy - these editors have managed to snag themselves quite a pile of delightful stories by talented authors." ~Bibliophile's Retreat
WHAT'S FIRESTORM OF DRAGONS ABOUT?
So you want to know about dragons? Start with “Dragonscaling!,” a tongue-in-cheek look at a future where the world’s most extreme sport involves the use of genetically engineered creatures. Continue on to read how dragons are kept out of sight in modern Hong Kong in “Dragonkeeper” before turning the page for a humorous look at the importance of listening to one’s mother in “Lessons.”
“The Druid’s Dragon” reveals a possible connection between the ancient people and an enslaved dragon before “Dragon Eye, P.I.” twists all conventions and makes a dragon the lead in a 1940’s-style detective story. “Poison Bird” brings the reader back to modern day for a coming-of-age story told through the eyes of the protagonist’s boyfriend.
“A Reptile at the Reunion” pulls together two things that most people fear: dragons and high school reunions. A hunter learns compassion for his prey in “Dragon Blood” while “No Time for Dragons” takes a humorous tone when an example is made of a dragon who is a pesky door-to-door salesman.
“For Your Eyes Only” reveals the power of devotion when lovers encounter a dragon. Both sides of a human and dragon interaction, with wildly different conclusions, are examined in “Shattered Dreams” before the influence of hatred and the cost of sacrifice battle each other in “A Darkness of Spirit.”
“A Firestorm of Dragons” finishes with a trilogy of stories depicting some possible ends of dragonkind. “Dragon Fruit” reveals the happiest of conclusions when a symbiotic relationship between humans and dragons leaves both to lead their own lives. Dragons continue to live on throughout time in “A Dragon’s Dawn,” though they are relegated to lonely and unfulfilled lives. “Inside the Cavern” is the ending no one wishes for the majestic beings, their race dying in obscurity under man’s unyielding pressure.

Googling Death Masks

I googled Death Masks this afternoon and landed three spots where it showed up online. I'm pleased.

Home again and reviewer comment on Death Masks trailer

We're back in the good ole USA and struggling with jet lag. I really enjoyed the trip but was ready to come home.

Today's email brought me a really nice comment from a book reviewer regarding the video book trailer for Death Masks. She said this (which thrills me after there being some concern from others over whether a reviewer would even watch it with the metal music):
"Kim,
WOW! Your book trailer is impressive. Many of the earlier ones I saw from writers were just stills or words with some ethereal music. WOW! ... I'm a thrilled that you used a local band for your trailer. It also gives them some more publicity and could even broaden their fan base.
You go, girl!
Janie "

I'm grinning for sure!
