New Month, More Books!

I've recently marched forth into an epic journey... of the reading variety. In other words, I'm experiencing the epic journey vicariously through some intriguing characters. Not content to critique eight plus different authors' work while revising my own book--in addition to my full-time day job and family commitments--I've also begun the Kingfall Histories by David Estes. So far, I'm partway into the second book and I really enjoy it. Dragons feature prominently in the series, in case you were wondering. The promise of dragons drew me in, while the engaging characters and worldbuilding kept me reading. I'll let you know my thoughts on the series, overall, once I finish.

By the way, if you're an author and you want me to read your book, all you have to do is put dragons in it and I'll give it a shot. Friendly dragons, nasty dragons, talking dragons, mute dragons, shifter dragons, whatever kind of dragons... as long as it isn't steamy romance, I'll read it. Dragons have to be a major part of the story, though.

What kind of creatures or elements would hook you into reading a book you might have otherwise passed by?

Wyldling Snare by A.R. Grimes (yours truly)

He's become a leader too soon. She's the sister he needed. Will a sorcerer's plot destroy their dreams for the future?

Apprentice knight Enoch Northward isn't ready to lead. But when he returns home to find his mentor dead and the heir-apparent missing, he knows he must rise to the challenge.

But the horrifying truth of his guardian’s death and disappearance of his friends leaves the grieving knight with no time to mourn. In search of answers, he ventures into the forbidden forest. There he discovers a portal leading to another world - and a girl who shares his faith and dreams.

The realm hangs in the balance as a mysterious enemy schemes to destroy it, but not all peril comes from the outside. Enoch himself harbors a secret that could destroy all he loves...
