A while back I did a post about books that people who have enjoyed Dragonkeeper might like to read. As I mentioned at the time, I haven’t read all of them, so I can’t give an opinion about which is the best or anything like that. Recently Maddison asked me which ones weren’t scary, as … Continued

Someone just sent me a picture of the UK Dragon Moon cover. (Thanks, Ryan.) Here it is. It’s lovely isn’t it? It’s always exciting to see new covers. It’s the one part of the production of a novel that the author has little to do with…and in the case of overseas covers, nothing to do … Continued

I’ve had some emails and blog comments from readers who are disappointed there won’t be another Dragonkeeper book. I think that three is a good number for a series, and I’m looking forward to writing something completely different. Lydia asked me if I could recommend any other books for her to read.
