Tomorrow, Monday the 14th, I’m going to be on my publishing house’s page – Clean Reads – doing fun pictures and info about The Hotline Girl, as well as giving away a few copies of the book. Some of you will have seen my material from before, but I’d love for you to join us anyway, especially if you want to win a free copy of the new and improved novella! :-) You can check in during the day, or like the page and set it to notifications so you get notified of all of the posts I have. :-)

Cora and the Nurse Dragon

H. L. Burke is a great for-the-whole-family fantasy writer. Her books are clean, well-thought-out and fun. I was very impressed byLands of Ash, and thought it was amazingly epic.

The story follows the adventures of Cora Harrison in a world where Dragons no longer li...
