Got through chapter 5. Rome's about to have to make some decisions and see just how deep he's willing to go into this new world he's been introduced to.
Mod
Book Dragon (Lane') wrote: "Can I create a discussion board under current reads, or is it unnecessary?"Whatever you want, Lane'. I am just so happy to be a part of this! I think it might just be you, me, and Spirit reading the book, so we can discuss here if you guys want to talk about it or ask me anything about the plot, characters, future volumes, etc.
But, if you feel drawn to create a discussion board, that would be great! Totally up to you though!
Mod
NP you guys. 2-3 chapters a day is a good pace. I will wait on chapter 6 for now since I know the action will be heating up soon. Thank you guys again for giving the book a try. Do we need a discussion board? I don't really know what that is.
Starting Chapter 11 today. I hope that's okay. I won't let out any spoilers, but if you want to ask me anythiing, go ahead!

Recently, some reviewers have been mentioning that they didn't like the way some characters don't use contractions when they talk. They said it felt stiff and unlike real people. I just want to let you guys know there is a reason for this.*** SPOILER ALERT It's actually a big plot point later on in the series. As I introduce more characters into the books, the reader will begin to notice that all the characters that DO NOT use contractions are actually dragons in disguise (like Rome). It becomes a giveaway for the reader to use later when trying to determine who can be trusted and who cannot. So, while it seems out of place at first, there is a reason for it later in the series.
Well, I finished it this morning. I found some errors that I also edited while reading. So, that's a positive thing. Each time I re-read this book (I have several, several times), I just remembger where the story goes after this and I am happier with it. The first book is definitely not the best, but they get better each time out. The 6th book promises to be the best one yet, And books 7-12 will take the series so far from this first, tiny, instlalment that it makes me laugh. But, I do "kinda" like this one since it starts off the whole adventure of Rome and Julian.
Mod
Ummm. I think so. They are always available on Amazon. That's my main place to sell them. Are you able to order from Amazon?If not, I would be more than happy send you and anyone else free digital copies anytime, if you'd like. Currently books 1-5 are publisahed and can be purchased on Amazon, but I'd rather get you digital copies for free.
Mod
Sure. Absolutley!! You just want book #2 or all books 2-5? And please remind me if you like Epub or PDF better? I'd be happy to send digital copies to anyone else in this group who you think would like the book (middle-grade fantasy).

I understand the stiffnes in the characters BUT i definitely understand when it comes to character bulding. I love this book and will be def rating it ..."No worries, Spirit! Travel days make for long ones, so you just take your time. We're in no rush here! Be safe during your time away and keep a wary eye out for portals!
Oh hey, Spirit. I meant to ask you. How's Tommy enjoying book #2? I never did see a review for book #1, but I understand he may be busy
Mod
If you are asking me, I absolutely will!

Oh no worries, Spirit! Enjoy those little cousins!
Book Dragon, let me know when you want to start book 2. And maybe Spirit would like to read along with us too?
Mod
Mod
Okay. I’ll probably start Monday but feel free to go ahead whenever. You in, Spirit? Is there anyone else on this thread interested? Lol
Starting "Riders of Fire and Ice" today. We can just keep our discussion here, right Book Dragon? We don't need a new thread, right? Has anyone else decided to join?
Mod
Over halfway done with book #2. The new characters are getting the spotlight now! A couple female scene stealers have entered the game!!
Hey Book Dragon! I see you are getting close to the end. Hope you are still enjoying the book. I finished last night. If you guys still want to go into book #3, I am certainly good to do so. We don't have to do the Buddy Read if it's any trouble. Just let me know whatever
Mod
I would love to. Just let me know when and I can get it to you and begin! This is so much fun. Thank you for including me on this!

That absolutely means the world to me. That's great that you are flying through the series too! (dragon pun there). I'll go ahead and send book#3 today. Thank you for making my day, Book Dragon (Lane')
Started "Windy City Ruins" today. On page 26. So, as you can see, I didn't get very far. LOL
Mod
No rush. I think it's just you and me, so we can take our time. Hope all is well and you still enjoy the series
Almost done with book #3. I hope everyone (Book Dragon Lane') is still enjoying the series.

There are 5 out currently, but I plan to release book #6 this summer. And I have 12 planned/penned

In anticipation of my 6th release in The Talisman Series, I've partnered with Kandi J Wyatt, who's releasing her 5th book in her series, Four Stars over Ardatz: Sovereigns, Resolved. We're doing an instagram dragon challenge from July 11-31. I'd love to have you participate or share with any dragon lovers who may want in on the fun. Be sure to use #DragonsSovereignsTalismans so we can follow and like your images. You can also tag me @talismanbrett and Kandi @KandiJWyatt
Just wanted to let everyone know that I've released the first novella for my series. It's basically Talisman Series #4.5, so if you want to give it a try, let me know. Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season and make sure to keep a wary eye out for portals!
Book Dragon (Lane') wrote: "How long does it take to write a book?"It usually takes me about 1-2 months to write a full installment. The novellas are happening at about 2-3 weeks a pop. Ready to release my second one with 3 more to come. I need an artist to keep pace with me for covers. LOL I am awful at artwork! Anyone help?
