A Dragonlings’ Haunted Halloween


A Dragonlings’ Haunted Halloween


Dragonling: A young or juvenile dragon.

One of my best series is the Dragon Lords of Valdier. I currently have seven full-length stories in that series and two additional full-length stories that go along with it for the Sarafin and Curizan species that live in the same star system. There are also several short stories, For the Love of Tia, A Dragonlings’ Easter, and A Warrior’s Heart with additional stories to come. The DLOV started with Abducting Abby and has since grown into a vast and unique world filled with amazing characters, some of those include the Dragonlings.

The Dragonlings are the children of the characters. When I first introduced them, I had no idea they would have such lively and interesting personalities. This past March, I had a dream about them having a good, old-fashion Easter egg hunt like we used to have.

The holidays are always a fun-filled time in my house with loads of laughter and fun. I couldn’t help, but wonder what it would be like to experience the fun of dyeing eggs and hiding them from the point-of-view from someone who had never experienced it. I remember the guys being as excited as the kids as they searched high and low and competed to see who could find the most eggs. That dream led to A Dragonlings’ Easter.

For me, the holidays are about fun, laughter and family and friends. I brought that fun into the story and was amazed at how much love there was to share. I wanted to show what it would be like for Dragonlings to experience the same fun that my children had.
 
Now, as Halloween draws closer, I am writing another Dragonlings’ story. This one will follow the fun, excitement and laughs of discovering some of the things that make Halloween so much fun. I love Halloween. I love the Haunted House rides, the costumes, the Trick-or-Treators, the crazy pumpkins and dancing witches and goblins and the decorations. There really isn’t much about Halloween I don’t like except the mosquitoes when it has been rainy and hot out. LOL.

In A Dragonlings’ Haunted Halloween, the men decide to find out what the women have been up to. They have never seen anything like the wonderful Haunted Halloween town and ride that Cara, Abby, Trisha, Ariel, and Carmen have created along with some of the engineers from the repair room.

It was supposed to be a surprise for both the men and the Dragonlings. Everyone has heard that ‘Curiosity killed the Cat’, but what happens when some grown Dragons get a dose of Halloween for the first time? With the help of some mischievous Goddesses, the Dragonlings, and their golden Symbiot nannies, the men are in for a Spooktacular experience as they discover the magic of a haunted Halloween… Cara style.
 
A Dragonlings' Haunted Halloween: Dragonlings of Valdier Book 1.2 will be out October 21, 2014.

Cara Truman has no idea that her new project would create a sense of panic, wonder, or hilarious consequences in the palace when she unveils it.
During one of her many excursions exploring the palace, she discovers a vast underground chamber that turns out to be the perfect place for her next invention. Soon, her dream of building the ultimate playground for the Dragonlings is a reality.
When Abby laughingly mentions the new ‘playground’ looked like the perfect place to have a Halloween party, Cara goes into high gear to create the perfect Haunted House adventure for the babies. The fun kicks into high gear when the men discover what Cara has been up to and decide to ‘test’ the playground first!
Discover what happens when another Earth holiday is unveiled, with the help from a couple of mischievous Goddesses, the symbiots, and Dragonlings in A Dragonlings’ Haunted Halloween.
