Announcing the new book release of Sleeping Dragon.

 

I finally finished my novel! 

Sleeping Dragon is a Historical Fantasy novel set in Medieval Ireland. Last month, I went to Ireland to capture the final details. (see previous post.)


I started this last year when I attended a writer's workshop. It is now available on Amazon. 

I am offering the Kindle version of Sleeping Dragon for free from May 22nd to May 26th.  

Please pick up your copy and tell your friends. You will need a Kindle reader or the Kindle App on your computer or phone. 

(Tip: with the Alexa app, you can have Alexa read the book for you from your Kindle library. Not the same as an audiobook, but close.)

Hopefully, you will like this story. It is my first historical fantasy novel. I learned so much about Ireland in researching the events surrounding the time period.

I would appreciate a review on Amazon after you have read the book.

Enjoy!

Ireland trip for researching the area for my new book.

We got back from Ireland a few weeks ago. The country was beautiful. There were several places I wanted to research for my new book. We first visited Newgrange to get a feel for the ancient monuments. The first was the Knowth mound, which we couldn't go inside.


The second was Newgrange, where we were able to go into the inner chamber, but couldn't take any pictures inside. The front stone had many spirals. The triple spiral was also found in the inner chamber.

We traveled to the Cliffs of Moher with gale winds and rain. 

And saw many castles. This is Cahir Castle.

We stayed for a few days in Cork, Ireland. The city was built over the water channels where ships used to come into the city. We were told this bar sat on the water where the arch was a waterway for boats.

We took a boat ride along the River Lee to see some of the ancient sites. This is Blackrock Castle with an observatory on top.

But most of our stay was in Killarney at Lough Leane, where my story takes place. We stayed at the Lake Hotel overlooking the ruins of Castlelough. 

The castle ruins were lit up at night.

Down the road was the Muckross Abbey which was built by the MacCartheys in the 1300s.


This was our first time going to Ireland, and there was so much more to see. 

When we returned, I started revising my book, a historical fantasy novel set in Medieval Ireland. I am putting in the final touches and hope to publish it soon. Below is a list of my other books.
