The Stone Lions (32 page)

For many years, I
supported myself as a systems analyst, but now I’ve focused myself
as a dedicated dilettante of art.

I bake seriously and garden. Reading is my passion. I
read fantasy (and any other written material put near me) and have
walls of books in my house.

Not so long ago, my life centered around Morris and
short sword dancing. I started writing around the time I ended my
fifty bell dancing habit.

During the last fifteen years, I have belonged to
SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators) and
have been active within the group.

My golden retriever and my husband keep me active,
hiking and roaming the hills.

The Dragons' Chosen

The dragons came from beyond the Crystal Mountains,
demanding a virgin sacrifice…and Princess Genevieve learns she's it
when she's handed a golden token–the mark of the chosen. Genevieve
accepts her fate. She must, in order to save her kingdom. But the
journey to her final destiny is complicated by the arrival of
Chris, a 1970s Berkeley co-ed. To Chris, the whole scenario reeks
of deception. Where she comes from, corsets are for burning and
virgins are hard to find. She's sure the dragons are out for more
than innocent blood, but the only way to find out what they really
want is to accompany Genevieve on her journey. Not what she had
planned for her freshman year of college. Genevieve is
duty-bound–unless Chris is right. Then her sacrifice would mean
nothing. Other than woe to those who duped her...
