Look for The Star Gods trilogy and the new Children of the Dragon Nimbus series! A letter from the author, Irene Radford: Welcome to the world where dragons are real and magic works. If you are new to the Dragon Nimbus, pull up a chair and join us as we revel in tales that have touched my heart more than anything else I've written under any pen name. If you are returning after an absence, I am very happy to have you back. This is a world that began with a Christmas gift of a blown-glass dragon. The dragon sat proudly on the knick-knack shelf for several months, loved and admired, reluctantly dusted, and totally inert. Then one night at dinner, my son remarked, "You know, Mom, I think dragons are born all dark, like that little pewter dragon, then they get more silvery as they grow up until they are as clear as glass." The dragon came to life for me. Out of that chance remark came first one book, then three, five, seven, and finally ten. I built a career on these books and loved every minute of the process. These characters still live in my mind many years after they jumped into their stories and dragged me along with them. Many thanks to DAW Books and my editor Sheila Gilbert for reviving The Dragon Nimbus a lucky thirteen years after they first debuted. With these omnibus volumes, you can read about the dragons with crystal fur that directs your eye elsewhere yet defies you to look anywhere else. Wonderful dragons full of wit and wisdom. Magic abounds. Magicians and mundanes alike learn about their world and special life lessons as they explore dragon lore past and present. The books will be presented in the order in which they were written, and the order that makes the most sense of the entwined tales. So, sit back and enjoy with me. And may reading take you soaring with Dragons.

Dragons to Loose


Katherine A. Smith - 2008
    For more, visit the official website: www.elucidationimages.com/kasab/kasab... Morrigan Aislyn had a personal philosophy that tended to work perfectly: expect nothing, and you'll never be disappointed. But even with her transient ability to sense the future, events had begun transpiring in her home country of Byrd that she could never have expected, and that would leave her wishing she'd only just been disappointed. Morrigan's home village of Sparrownere is attacked and burned to the ground, and Morrigan wonders why anyone would bother-until she learns that, for reasons unknown, the leader of the attackers has come seeking her, and doesn't care if he slaughters a village or two to find her. Morrigan's quest for answers and justice can bring only new mysteries, heartbreak, and challenges, as dragons are loosed into the fray.

Mokepon


Rebecca Pugh - 2008
    uh, no. Scratch that. Adventures and friendship were never something that appealed to Atticus... Shame that it's a pokemon world he lives in, and so teenage boys living in Pallet Town are not expected to sit idly by. But the life of a hero is not one he's about to consider; too much hard work for little reward, and so instead he embarks on his quest not to become the greatest... But at least, the richest.Although the biggest challenge may be ignoring the adventures and friendships which may attempt to ensnare him along the way...
