 Free e-book offering of Kathleen Nelson's
DAUGHTER OF DRAGONS
CONTEST!  Enter a drawing for free books
(yes, actual books, the kind you hold in your hands!)

HOORAY!  I've finally found a little courage!

This book was the first one I ever published, and so it's quite dear to my heart. So I bullied my son and husband into helping me podcast this. Kevin does all male voices with great enthusiasm--except for one in which my husband Michael is cast as a professorly type. It suits him to a tee.

And --wonderful news!--Podiobooks.com has now released it for free download.

No money, no commitment, just easy listening on your own terms-- to a fun, family friendly romp with a dragon and a Wisky Wasky!

Click this link to go straight to Podiobooks and take a listen to the promo. Maybe you'll like it. Maybe you'll love it! And maybe, just maybe, you'll want to enter my drawing. See details below!

WHAT'S THERE'S NO SUCH THING! ABOUT? (besides dragons...)

Have you been losing things lately?

Is your dog chasing his tail,

your cell phone acting up,

or your best friend acting strangely?

 

Well, I’ve got news for you.  A Wisky Wasky did it!

Unfortunately, no one’s giving him the recognition he needs.

Let me tell you, that is a BIG mistake.

Our Wisky Wasky’s a very excitable fellow. He calls in a dragon to help him get noticed. But there’s a problem with being a Wisky Wasky or a dragon in this technological world: THERE'S NO SUCH THING!

 

In cooperation with Dragon Moon Press, I'm permitted to offer the occasional free e-book by other Dragon Moon Press authors.

Today, I'm featuring DAUGHTER OF DRAGONS, by my buddy Kathleen Nelson. I asked Kathleen for a recent picture, and she promptly sent this one. Which, I believe, tells you rather a lot about Kathleen! If you decide you want your very own free e-book of Daughter of Dragons, just hit reply on this newsletter or e-mail me at jeanettecottrell (at) msn (dot) com. I'll get it to you as soon as I can!

WHAT'S DAUGHTER OF DRAGONS ABOUT? (besides dragons...)

As a child, Lathwi is outcast by her own people for her magical abilities. Instead of being eaten by the dragon to which she has been sacrificed, Lathwi becomes the protégé of the intellectual Taziem. As an adult, Lathwi is banished from her foster mother's nest and forced to seek her fortune in the world of men. This quest brings her face to face with sorcery, a master of swords, and an ancient evil from Dragonkind's past. The fate of the world hinges on her. Will she survive? Will the world?

REVIEWS of DAUGHTER OF DRAGONS

In this marvelous novel we follow Lathwi's travels as she learns what it is to be human, yet strives to maintain her dragon identity. Lathwi's attitude towards humans and things that don't concern her is funny and infuriating at the same time!  Kathleen  H Nelson has created a strong and intriguing female character in a primarily male dominated genre.       
         ~Vikky Bertling, 5 Star Review, Timeless Tales Editor   

As a long-time reader of science fiction and fantasy, I've become somewhat jaded with potboiler plots and one-dimensional characters. Kathleen H. Nelson has written a layered novel that combines elements of philosophy and psychology with a rip-roaring, humor-rich tale that had me reading until 3 a.m.    ~Joan F. Canty
