Dragons and Cicadas: The Society On Da Run (The Society On Da Run)
by
L'Poni Baldwin (Goodreads Author)
The space dragons are coming home. No vampires rule this land, no wolves take claim to the Dragon's throne. In this collection of interlinked stories, these dragons are unbound by standard cliches. These dragons live among us, taking our forms, drinking our food, breeding with our bloodlines...nobody knew their families dwelled in the stars, awaiting for a time to reclaim...more

Review for OSgA Book Reviews: http://osgabookreviews.wordpress.com/ to come soon.
This was a really long book but it was made of up short stories (they were connected but separate, if that makes any sense) so it balanced out.
If you’re the kind of person who has to read the entire book all at once, good luck.
But, if you are okay just reading a few stories whenever you’re bored, this is the book for you.
It took me a while to read it because it was pithy, not the length but the stories, you know?
Once again, the author has astounded me with her prose. It’s magnificent and allurin...more

After a long break from publishing new issues in the TSODR Magazine (thanks to a certain event), I decided to make my return with The Rebirth of Heaven and The Reboot of Heaven, the latest not-yet-released issues in the TSODR universe. Also, The Masked Man and Treetime With Tosh will soon be published in a very awesome e-zine, but those projects are not yet finished so I cannot speak about them. Also, Google Play will be accepting pre-orders for The Rebirth of Heaven and The Reboot of Heaven whe...more

DISCLAIMER: This is a fake review by Astoleya. This review should only be seen as comical and not to be taken seriously. Originally posted May 15, 2012.
The Dovahkin is strong with this one...NOT!
This book completely sucks.
It's not a full novel like I had hoped. It's a bunch of Fantasy/Sci Fi short stories and poetry and some of the stories don't even feature dragons! It's a shabby excuse of a dragon book. SPACE DRAGONS??? COME ON! George Martin can do better than that.

"PLEASE NOTE: these stories are told out of order and it is up to you, the READER, to put them back in order according to their “timeline placements.” Look for sentences before every story that state one of the following: 50 years after the dragon war OR 10 years after [[INSERT STORY_NAME]]. Also, this is a collection of interlinked DRAGON STORIES, so don’t expect a simple read. There will be complex undertones, messages, plotlines and things you cannot uncover in one read-through. also, a lot o...more

“When he removed his robes, you could see the hundreds of scars and bruises that shamelessly decorated his body. Huge black bruises, long scars that came from sword lacerations and whips and new wounds that bled fresh red blood.
