I'm a writer. I know a little about a lot of things, but not a lot about anything. And the rest I just make up.

A tidbit from Dragon Heart...

Here's a tidbit from Dragon Heart that I have been playing with:

“They see you and I together…” He started, searching for the right words as Procyon rumbled awkwardly. “And they think… they hope they see the future of the Tycho Star Traders.”

Capella cautiously growled in response to Procyon as Annie blushed furiously. They had grown steadily closer since that fateful reception at Gaanard when she had first met Elias and his parents. Since then, her fate seemed to be racing down a predetermined path by the visions that continued to haunt her mind. While she remained determined to control her own fate, her own destiny, she could not help but feel her love for Elias steadily growing. She was pretty sure he was falling in love with her in his own, sometimes aggravating, sometimes romantic, always cute in an awkward sort of way. Had he seen visions of his own? Or was he just driven by his powerful sense of purpose and duty as the son of the StarHawke Tycho?

And then there was the Hawkkur Legion and its fanatically loyal members. The Family Guard, the Gaanard Troop and the Hawkkur Combat Teams embarked upon the Tycho Triumph and the Tycho Victory, whose members had fiercely thrown themselves into the battle on Conborine. To rescue her from Reska kidnappers. To rescue a family from the mercenaries who had taken over their business. To rescue Tolen and Blom from the threats to their ill-fated terminal project. And to rescue a city from the clutches of a Black Dragon – a Rahhol DragonHawk – who was their sworn enemy. They did these things willingly because they were driven by their duty as a Hawkkur Warrior, the honor of the Warriors who had served and died before them. And for the glory of the Hawkkur Legion and the generations of Hawkkur Warriors yet to be born.

Duty. Honor. Glory. It permeated everyone and everything at the Tycho Trade Station. Coupled with Fate it pushed them inexplicably towards whatever destiny was in store for the Tycho Drakkon and their people.

A Dragon Hunters Update

Well, it's been a long two weeks for me, cleaning up and reformatting Dragon Hunters and resolving the various issues that I was having with the Amazon Kindle process. The main problem turned out to be with Internet Explorer not wanting to process the Kindle page. I switched over Google Chrome and the process worked fine. The Kindle IT people recommended Firefox, but the software my wife uses for her work is not compatible with Firefox, so I can't install that. 

Anyway, Chrome is working okay and right now Dragon Hunters is being processed for Kindle on the Amazon site, and by SMASHWORDS for the Nook, Apple Bookstore and a variety of other formats. It will take a few hours (6 to 24?) for them to process, but hopefully by Monday Dragon Hunters will officially be online for sale.

So, keep your fingers crossed and I'll let you know when Dragon Hunters is available for your purchase! As always...

Thanks for reading!

Dragon Hunter Update

I hope you are having a good weekend.

I hoped to write this entry to tell you that Dragon Hunter was now available on Amazon, but unfortunately, I continue to have some technical problems with their website. I hope to have those problems resolved soon.

It has been an interesting process getting here. I have developed a better understanding of the value of having a publisher to deal with these mundane issues so I can concentrate on the writing. Of course, the proof is in the pudding, as the saying goes. What will determine if it has all been worthwhile is whether or not anyone likes the book.

In the meantime, I will take advantage of a quiet, rainy Saturday here in Seabrook, Texas, to continue working on the saga. I'm fighting the urge to go back through Dragon Hunter one more time... I should be making the transition to Dragon Heart... We'll see.

Whatever happens, I'll be ready for Amazon just as soon as their IT resolves the problem. Hopefully this weekend.

As always, thanks for reading!

Dave!
