Guest Post | The Dragon’s Prisoner by Holly Day

Hiya! I’m here as Holly today I have a new story out, The Dragon’s Prisoner And you might have guessed it already, but we’re going back to Dragon Row!  

Doing the Dragon Row stories is always fun. I love stepping into this world where a group of exiled dragons are living among humans. They don’t like humans much, most often they talk about eating them (and I told my editor that if I ever write Major the Maneater’s story, he almost has to eat someone). What they do like is gold and gemstones i...

Read Around the Rainbow | Looking Back at 2023 & Forward to 2024

It’s time for another Read Around the Rainbow post! On this last Friday of the year, we’re looking at what we’ve accomplished in 2023 (yeah, it’ll be a short post LOL) and what we have planned for 2024.

My focus has been on Holly. There have been several times during the year when I’ve asked myself if I shouldn’t just put Ofelia to rest. This whole being two people at once takes some effort and Holly has a lot more readers, so it feels natural to give her more space, but it’s hard to let Ofeli...

It’s Read Around the Rainbow time, and this month we’re talking about how we all got started, as in the first story we ever wrote with an eye toward publishing, if it got published, and if we would’ve done anything differently if we were to do it now.
