Bio: D.R. Grady
lives with her husband near Hershey, PA. She adores chocolate, laughing,
collecting bags, books, and shoes, and adores writing stories that resonate
with others.
Book Title: The Dragon
Chronicles Book 1: Learning
Coming soon! The Dragon
Chronicles Book 2: Shifting
Book Tag Line:
A carefree elf and a surly bear non-shifter have to unite to save the world.
Book Blurb: Peace has
reigned for so long, most beings believe dragons are mere myths, including elf
professor Dr. Lindy Veles. After meeting attractive Dr. Alex von Schreider—a
surly professor from a bear shifter family who possesses plenty of paranormal
power, yet can't shift—things start to spiral downward. Especially when he
catches Lindy's strong shifter scent. Elves don’t normally shift. Alex finds
the compelling elf’s denials suspicious. Lindy thinks he’s crazy to believe
she’s a shifter.
As
they delve into the ancient Dragon Chronicles, tomes about dragons, it quickly
becomes clear their efforts are no mere academic exercise. Dragons are suddenly
becoming all too real. When Lindy shifts into one, Alex discovers he’s meant to
control her dragon—the most powerful creature on earth. The pair is caught in
the middle of two raging battles . . . their own personal emotional war and the
war to save their world.
With
the clock ticking, Lindy and Alex must surrender their misconceptions about
themselves and dragons, and unite to begin the fight for their very existence.
Book Excerpt:
Lindy’s heart beat harder now than the
first time she walked into the dragon classroom. As she headed for the front,
the students turned almost as one. Each of them hissed and spat, hurtful words
echoing through the room.
“You lied to us—”
“You’re a dragon. Liar—you said
you didn’t know anything about them—”
“Why didn’t you tell us what you are—”
“We won’t believe anything else you say,
ever—”
Audrina shot out of her seat, pointing
with an accusing finger. “You said you were an elf. But you’re a dragon.”
“You don’t belong here!” Kaera, timid
little Kaera, actually shouted.
“Leave us, dragon.” Kevin’s bright red
hair stood out against the sea of angry faces as Lindy turned to bolt from the
room.
Where Alex was, she didn’t know as she
ripped the door open and sprinted down the hall. As she passed, fellow teachers
flung open their doors to hurtle more accusations and disgust at her—
***
Sobbing, Lindy sat straight up in bed.
Tears streaked down her face; her heart beat too fast. Her nightgown clung to
her back. Shaking, she managed to slide out of the bed without disturbing
Ewain, sleeping on the trundle.
Careful not to step on him, she padded
on silent feet to the bathroom where she splashed water on her face. The
nightgown stuck damply, so she stripped out of it and washed the sweat away
before donning another. Still, she shook and trembled from the nightmare.
My very fears right there, in color.

Thank you for hosting me, Celia!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful premise! Love paranormal novels with a lighter touch. I guess that makes me a "lightsider" as opposed to a "darksider." Best of luck with sales :)
