A Proper Introduction…to Dragons Launch

I’m thrilled to announce  that A Proper Introduction to Dragons, prequel to Pemberley: Mr. Darcy’s Dragon to now available on Amazon and Kindle Unlimited!  Find it HERE.

To be honest, this book kind of took me by surprise.  I didn’t really set out to write it. There were just a few short stories in my head that seemed like a fun idea and when I looked up from doing them, I realized they pretty much made up a whole book–so yeah, I kind of accidently wrote a book. My family is just nodding along right now, mutter “yeah, sounds about par for the course.”

But hey, a new book is a good thing right? So let’s celebrate. Leave me a comment below to enter a giveaway for an e book version of the book.

A Proper Introduction to Dragons

Most people were blissfully unaware that England was overrun by dragons. Only those born with preternatural hearing could hear and converse with dragonkind, and even those rarely came into their hearing before they were fifteen. It was not Elizabeth’s fault that she discovered the truth about dragons when she was only four years-old.

It was also not Elizabeth’s fault that the old tatzelwurm, Rumblkins, who lived in the woods near Longbourn House befriended her. Really, he would have attached himself to anyone who fed him dried cod and scratched behind his ears.

So clearly, it could not be her fault when Rumblkins led her to a nest of endangered fairy dragon eggs that the Pendragon Treaty compelled her to save. Unfortunately her father does not agree.

Thomas Bennet, dragon-lore expert, faithful member of the dragon-hearing society, the Blue Order, and Keeper of the local wyvern, Longbourn, has a dragon-sized problem on his hands. At eleven years-old, his second-oldest daughter is hopelessly fascinated with all things dragon-related. But his wife and other daughters lack the ability to hear dragons, so the world of the Blue Order must remain hidden from them.

Now faced with an abandoned clutch of fairy dragon eggs to care for, the careful balance he walks between the needs of his jealous estate dragon, Elizabeth’s incorrigible draw toward dragons and continued secrecy from the rest of the family hangs in jeopardy. If only Elizabeth would be a more conventional child!

But how can a girl who shuns traditional ladylike pursuits to play with dragons ever be conventional? Does dragon-hearing society have a place for such an oddity as her?
