@MizpaMijam
Hi to all friends, fans and followers! August was a particularly tough month, but September has me on my toes and the next Chapter of -Draca- will be posted within the week. I'd also like to thank everyone for their patience; this project, its characters, and the world created within this book mean the world to me. Carry on, you guys!
May all beings be safe, well, and happy!
Good day to all fans and readers, and also those who are discovering In the Lair of the Draca for the first time! First and foremost, I must thank you all for giving the characters in my Saga life; witout your readership, I would never be able to expand this tale and weave new experiences for Ziuta, her guardians, and loved ones.
My next chapter will be posted within another week. But I will soon have to bring this Saga to a close...and in my first attempt of this kind, I am reaching out to my fans for ideas and feedback.
Are there those of you who would like to see a third installment in my book series? Both 'The Guilt of the Night People' and 'In the Lair of the Draca' enjoyed moderate success, but I haven't decided if Ziuta's story and never-ceasing quest for Earth should end with this book, or continue on into a third (and final) book in the series, which would continue to follow Ziuta, her children, her loved ones, and descendants.
Fans who post will receive a personal response from me-- and if anyone has a specific idea they'd like me to consider developing for 'Draca', I'll examine those too.
May all beings be safe, well, free from harm, and happy!
@MizpaMijam Yups I'd like to see it till they reach the Earth and what happen after she see it with her own eyes. So a third book is in the order, I think. One thing that separate you from other author when you post the Guilt of the Night People is your veracious productivity on that, posting long and fulfilled chapter everyday. Guess life's rob you of that now, but keep on writing!
Chapter 88 is soon to come, my Ziuta-fans!
Juggling four babies (with three entering puberty at the same time) is no easy task, but this week-end I will be posting!
In the meantime: may all beings be safe, well, and happy!
Chapter 87 will be available to all by tomorrow evening, the product of a frenzied mind-stream and lots of sweets. (Sugar is my friend.)
May all beings be Well.
May all beings be Safe.
May all beings be Happy!
Chapter 85 is nearly complete. But before I post it, I need to say thank you to ALL the fans who make this work possible!
I am so thrilled!
Chapter 83 has been published, and the story of Ziuta and Joo-Lee is once again underway. I would like to thank my devoted followers, because without their encouragement SIX YEARS LATER into the present, I doubt I'd be able to finish this process...so thank you, guys!
I would like to alert my followers of one change I've gone ahead with in this second book. Previously, I gave the five lead Draca in this story very similar names. They all began with the letter 'D', and sometimes readers (or even me) would confuse the names and make mistakes. So, I decided to re-name the Draca with titles that were more distinct and regal. Going forward, I will be using the new names...but I also have to go back to all the other chapters and change the old names to the new ones retroactively. This will take some time, so I apologize ahead of time for any confusion to readers old and new. To make this transition easier, I will present the new names here:
1. 'Daara' remains the oldest of the Draca and the wisest.
2. 'Emmita' is the Draca who offered herself as a sacrifice to Ziuta very early in the story.
3. 'Anabek' is the one Draca who remained at the turrets with Dragura after the others left, who also ends up joining them later.
4. 'Rosama' is the unfortunate Draca who killed and ate the gentle character Tuchek.
5. Finally, 'Qittara' is the youngest of the Draca, who fiercely fought against Brindle's first assault to protect Ziuta.
I honestly hope this small list can be of some help! Starting tomorrow, I'll be editing all previous chapters and applying those new names. The new names will be used going forward...and my firm goal is to post a chapter twice a week at most or once a week at LEAST. Guys, you can count on me.
Thank you again...
And walk with the Twin Moons!
@MizpaMijam You're like phoenix, rising out of ashes. It's been a while, could you republish book 1? My memory is a bit rusty.
Slowly but surely, and with just a few chapters left to go of re-familiarizing my work, vestiges of the next chapters are beginning to come to life in my mind. By no later than Monday of next week, I will finally be posting my next few chapters for the first time in six years. (And budding ideas for the third and final book in this series are toying with my imagination!)
Re-familiarizing myself with the world of the Draca after so many years will be quite a challenge, but a welcome one. Ziuta, the young heroine of Draca, deserves nothing less. Long hours of both study and reflection are part of the ingredients necessary to craft new life into this tale of dragons.
It's been many years, and I've been away from my writing for longer than I can remember. But my fans have spoken, and I have a book about a little girl and dragons to finish writing. Who's with me??
@phoenix_rosalie The pleasure is all mine; I'm scanning my work and making a few notes to keep me centered (there are a lot of things I still forget), buy I think my mind retains at least a little sharpness. I cannot wait to return to Ziuta and the Draca and breathe some new life into their tale. Thank you again for your well-wishes!!
Thank you so much for your comment! I am revisiting the old world in my creation and I plan to pick up exactly where I left off!
