This is Watching for Stars by American professional artist Travis Hanson, and I am so happy I stumbled across his artwork tonight — he’s amazing! I’ve been watching, and I’ve found my star! It’s already Saturday night, and all week I’ve been struggling to find some art to inspire me, so I can stay on…
Here goes — my attempt to get back on track with the Neeka Story, moving the tale forward even though I’m still not sure exactly where we’re going. In fact, it’s been so long, I had to review where we’ve already been! You can find all of the previous chapters of this story, as well…
U is for Ultima Apologies for the delay, but up next in my 2017 AtoZ Challenge, let’s take a look at the dragons in another video game franchise I sadly never had the opportunity to play — the classic series called Ultima, and it’s MMORPG successor, Ultima Online. Above is the original box art from Ultima I created by Denis Loubat and found at the…
D is for Dragonriders of Pern Continuing the April 2017 AtoZ Challenge, I’m going back to one of my absolute favorite series, and in all likelihood the reason I’m writing my own dragon novels: Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern. The Dragonriders of Pern is the title of the omnibus edition published in 1978 of the combined…
I’ve decided to tackle the April AtoZ Challenge again, and as my theme this year, I’m going more in-depth than simply “dragons.” Specifically, I’ll be focusing on: Dragons in Our Fandoms Examples of dragons in literature, film, television, anime, and video games.

This dragon is sitting atop a massive Hoard of Dice — click into the post to see the full image! Between my husband and myself, I think…
On Sunday, I spent the entire day at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, all by myself this time so I could wander where I liked, listen to lots of different musical performers, and supposedly get some writing accomplished. This is a cool wooden dragon carving attached to a signpost that I thought would make the perfect featured…
On Saturday, our Pathfinder group infiltrated a massive Giant’s fortress by trudging through a deep cave system infested with undead spiders and a kobold with barbarian levels, but we came through pretty unscathed. These Adventurers, by the legendary Singaporean artist sandara, might not be so lucky, facing this black dragon…! She painted this as an exclusive…
Today is the Autumnal Equinox, the day of equal light and dark to mark the transition from Summer to Autumn. I thought finding an “equinox dragon” would be easy (since my Writing Thoughts post still isn’t done from last week*) but I got SO much more than I bargained for as I went Finding Dragons today… This…
I was at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival all day on Saturday, and while I didn’t take any photos there myself, I knew that was going to be today’s theme. I was able to find a wonderful stock photographer on deviantart named Mark Longsinger, posting as Dracoart-Stock, who took these lovely dragon sculpture photos at the New…
