The Moon Dragons by Dyan Sheldon (Author), Gary Blythe (Illustrator)

Today’s short post is about a fabulous picture book I recently found called The Moon Dragons, by Dyan Sheldon, illustrated by Gary Blythe.

Alien Dragon for X-Files premier…

Did anyone else catch the premier of the X-Files tonight on Fox? Overall, I’m not sure what to think yet… I’d like to rewatch the episode, and then see what tomorrow’s second part is like before I make any judgements. I was a big fan of the original series, but time is great at blurring…

I was lucky enough to have a holiday today, and I managed a bit of vacation planning, but I’ve nothing to report on the writing front.  However, I did find this cute sleeping dragon picture.  Happily, tomorrow things should go back to their more usual schedule of writing after work (and maybe blogging during work),…
