• The Dragon’s Realm

    Chapter 1 Anthony                                   Know what sucks worse than dying? Dying twice. Both times, totally not my fault. I blame the first time on that ginormous winged thing Arietta called a netherbeast, but the second time from a unicorn? Seriously, I thought they were supposed to be all rainbows and prancing, not murdering monsters. So, one minute I’m just standing there, trying to get the demon out of my head.

What could be worse than not…

    This could be a spoiler alert…Read at your own Risk. Lacy looked over Tanner’s shoulder as he typed the description into the brochure program on her laptop. “Can you change that to step back in time and immerse yourself in the rich history of Miracle Inn?” Tanner picked up her hand where it rested on his shoulder and kissed her fingers. “I thought I was the one doing the copywriting.” Every time he did that, it sent little tingles up her arm and into her heart. “You can keep the part about: experience the charm of nearly one hundred years of history.” Her desk phone rang. “Miracle Inn.” “Hey, Lacy.…
