Lots of people have asked how I decided to switch from my normal adult action/adventure romance novels to a fantasy book for all ages? Well, my son Ian is totally to blame, thank goodness.
One day he complained about not being able to read my books until he was much older. Ian wanted to know why I hadn't written a book he could read. At the time, he was 9 years old.
He was right, of course, so I sat down with Ian and asked him what he wanted in this future novel.
"Well," he said. "It's got to have dragons. I like history, so how about World War II? It should be in England, because I like the Brits. There should be kids growing into teenagers and magical stuff, with humor too."
That was a pretty tall order.
The funny thing - it was a blast to write, enjoyed every minute. The research was fascinating and I've learned a lot.
Then, as things are apt to happen, Ian liked the first book so much, he assumed the story would continue. So, that's why there will be 6 books to the series.
Secret of the Dragon's Eye
Secret of the Dragon's Breath
Secret of the Dragon's Claw
Secret of the Dragon's Scales
Secret of the Dragon's Teeth
Secret of the Dragon's Wings
Now I have every intention of stopping at 6, but who knows?
