The Dragon's Rose

I am putting together a small on-line store called "The Dragon's Rose". This is where you can buy signed copies of "The Violet Eyes of Jesse Knight" and all things related (and maybe a few that are not).

Items I have lined up so far are the following....
Jewelery Boxes
Oil Incense Burners
Oil Incense sets
Temple Candle Sets
Dragon Master Incense Sets
Candle and Potpourri Jars
T-Shirts
Signed "The Violet Eyes of Jesse Knight" book

It there is something else you think that I should have for "The Dragon's Rose", let me know.

"The Dragon's Rose" is at the-dragons-rose.blogspot.com

The end of the beginning for "Jesse".

I recieved the proofs for "The Violet Eyes of Jesse Knight" and now have until April 6th to do the final edit. I have to tell ya, it was exciting to get that PDF file in my e-mail box. I can view and even print PDF but I can't create it so it was interesting to see it in that format.

Now it is just a matter of time before "Jesse" is in print. I thinking maybe the last part of May or the first part of June.

Beautiful Presents

This week I celebrate my 40th birthday (and yes, I decided to celebrate it). This wonderful picture came to me in one of my birthday presents. I am very lucky to know Rob and Becky. They are good people and I hold their friendship high. I met Rob through my current job and he has been (and is) a joy to work with. It is so wonderful that you have friends that know you so well that they know the perfect gift to give you.

Rob and Becky gave me a book, "The Lord of the Rings Sketchbook" by Alan Lee.

"The Lord of the Rings" is still and inspiration to me in my writing. "The Fellowship of the Ring" was the only movie I wanted to see after my parents passed away (it came out that year). So it is a joy to recieve such a wonderful gift from such a good friends. I quickly looked at so that Rob could see it too before he left the station (his show is only 3 hours one day a week).

I decided to take the week off for myself and such. I just needed some time down to get book two squared away and to write on book three without intruption. Yes, I think it might be a good week.

A Change of Romance...

I am currently writing in book three chapter three. I decided this would be a wonderful time to re-entroduce the main character's brothers through their father, as father and son bond over the common ground of mother. The King starts to remember all the mothers of the rest of his children therefore giving a little more background and bring the sons back into the story line.

While I am doing these special little story for each of the mothers I started to realize something. There is no way I could tell their whole story correctly. So I might be thinking of a romance novel about the loves of King E'Mor. Going more into the stories of some of the woman that touched his long life.

I have never wrote romance so this will be something different.

Kit Rae

You know I have been a big fan of this guys swords and art for some time. I can see him designing something for "Jesse Knight" to use after he has been trained up a little. Kit Rae's art and swords are some of the best looking fantasy items I have seen in a long time.

Yea, I can see "Jesse" holding something like this. Can't you?

Love to all...
