FEATURED FAN ART
 
Dragon from The Guardian Herd message board drew an original Kihlara stallion based off my book RIDERS OF THE REALM. His name is Vigilans. He's 14, a scout for the Fifth Clan, and his Rider is Taya Moree. The drawing to the right is of a new pegasus character named Shysong. These pictures show a tame pegasus versus a wild one. 
 
Some readers are concerned about the pegasi from Anok becoming tame. The ideas of freedom versus cooperation, love versus dependence, and friendship versus slavery will be explored deeply within the trilogy. Trust me and keep reading!

WHAT'S ON MY DESK?

I believe BOTH books will be released next year in 2019. YEEHAW!!! (Please stop telling me I write too slow for you, lol)

TRIVIA!
The very first Guardian Herd fan art was drawn by my daughter before STARFIRE was even published! She was eleven at the time. Here is her picture of Crystalfeather with her twins, Echofrost and Bumblewind. I love the cliff and orcas in the background, a nod to Chapter 14--the chapter that I will never forget writing as long as I live! Do you have a favorite chapter?

WINGBEATS BOOK CLUB

HERD NERD PETS
 
These adorable dogs belong to Eva W.
 
Ellie Mae is the basset hound. She's four and lazy and stubborn, but also playful and curious! She buries her bones in potted plants.
 
Annie is a schnoodle! She's seven and clingy, affectionate, super cuddly, smart, and an over-achiever. Eva calls her "the sheriff" because she keeps the other dogs in line! She howls when anyone plays the piano.
 
Astra is a Sheprador! She's a brilliant and energetic puppy. She loves to chew and play. Her favorite toy is an empty toilet paper roll. She also loves bird-watching (who doesn't!) and walks around the neighborhood.
