Heather Sutherlin has a great blog where she encourages "students to read and write more of what they love" with writing exercises and story starters, writing tips and tricks, and a bunch of other fun stuff.
She also reviews books from and runs guest posts by independent authors like me!
Heather graciously asked me for a guest post and I decided to go with the three most common questions kids as... read more »

Dragonfriend: Leonard the Great, Book One (Science Fiction & Fantasy)
5 chapters

updated Nov 12, 2011 11:39am
Description:
If you think it was all good deeds and fancy ideals back in the days of Camelot, think again. Most people don't know this, but for a time things went seriously bad; Arthur was imprisoned, Merlin had vanished, and a vile demon had taken over the throne.
Young Leonard would have been shocked to learn any of this but right now all that concerned him was where his next meal was coming from. As page to Sir Ronald, a poor but kind knight, events at the castle took a back seat to a rumbling stomach. Oh sure, he held a secret dream that one day Sir Ronald would take a seat at the Round Table, but seriously, that was about as likely as Maid Glennys seeing him as anyone other than the dirty page of a low-ranking nobleman. Not gonna happen.
Everything changes when Leonard meets Mantooth, a seriously depressed dragon who's looking for a knight to end his misery with a swing of a broadsword. Wait a minute. If the dragon will allow Sir Ronald to slay him, his misery would be over, Sir Ronald would surely get a Round Table invite for such a brave deed, and Leonard might even climb a notch or two in the eyes of Glennys! Everybody wins, right?
Wrong. Leonard's plan backfires horribly when, on the day of the battle, Sir Ronald is arrested for "bravery without a license" and he and Mantooth are dragged off to Camelot's dungeons. Now Leonard must do whatever it takes to free his master even if that means doing battle with dangerous monsters, trying to outwit Camelot's dark overlord, or taking a bath!

I picked up the book because the blurb intrigued me. I like new takes on the Arthurian legend and this promised to be fun. I didn't regret the decision.
This is a wonderful story with nicely rounded characters and many interesting twists on details... " Read more of this review » |

Thanks, Melissa! If you liked the Hobbit, I think you'll enjoy, LOTR. It's a challenging read, but very satisfying.
