Get Your Free Review Copy of the DRAGON FRIEND Audiobook While Supplies Last!

Get Your Free Review Copy of the DRAGON FRIEND Audiobook While Supplies Last!

Calling all US and UK AUDIOBOOK enthusiasts! I just discovered I still have a limited number of FREE promo codes for my DRAGON FRIEND audiobook available for download in the US and UK.
 
Direct Message me/email me if you're interested (or know someone who'd be interested) in listening to a fun, dragon-heavy, Arthurian fantasy adventure narrated by the immensely talented Bobby Gaglini.
I'll take it from there and send the promo code and necessary download and review links (while my current supply of free promo codes lasts). Make sure you specify whether you live in the US or the UK.
 
The basic idea is that you get a free Dragon Friend audiobook to enjoy "in exchange for an honest review" on Amazon and Audible. The reviews can be brief and should honestly reflect how you feel about this audiobook. You can also post the same review on both platforms. 
 
In the interest of full transparency, Amazon/Audible wants reviewers to put a phrase similar to "I received a free review copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review." in your review.
 
As most of you know, reviews really, really, really help, so I'd be really, really, really grateful for your support. Thanks!

NOW AVAILABLE! Dragon Friend (The Complete 3 Book Arthurian Fantasy Adventure Series)

Dragon Friend (The Complete 3 Book Arthurian Fantasy Adventure Series)
Join Leonard in this action-packed, magic-filled, 3 book series. Watch as he befriends dragons, battles giants and monsters, and clashes with an evil secret society of dark wizards and witches who want to destroy Leonard's family and everyone else he cares about!

This new 3 book collection contains the following Dragon Friend
novels:

Dragon Friend is an epic YA Arthurian fantasy novel sure to delight readers with its unique blend of magic, dragons, and irreverent humor. When the fate of Camelot rests in the hands of a lowly page, Leonard, he embarks on a daring quest to find the legendary wizard, Merlin, and rescue King Arthur from imprisonment. As he navigates a dangerous world of hungry monsters, wicked villains, and grumpy dragons, Leonard must use his wits to restore peace and honor to Camelot.

In
Giant Killer, Leonard continues his daring adventures on an all-new, danger-filled quest. Made a Knight of Camelot by King Arthur himself, young Leonard enjoys a life of peace and prosperity in the Green Valley. He deserves it after all he went through in Dragon Friend. But has he gotten lazy and let his guard down? The answer to that question smacks Leonard hard in the face when his beloved Glennys is kidnapped by a cruel giant and taken to a mysterious kingdom in the clouds. Leonard calls on his old friends Merlin, Hubert, Ham, and a new friend, a young dragon named Taddy, to join him on this desperate rescue mission. Can this unlikely group of heroes save Glennys in time? Follow their path as they face giant-sized forces of evil and discover the awesome powers of bravery and friendship.



Elven King
is Leonard's most daring and exciting adventure yet. A battle of epic proportions awaits our hero as he and his allies rush to save the notorious Claws Crimson. Lord Crimson is the much-feared ruler of the mysterious Dark Elves and Leonard's own grandfather! But wait. Isn't the old elf a cruel and dangerous warlord? Why should he help someone as awful as that? Merlin assures Leonard that his grandfather isn't evil, just, uh...misunderstood. As Leonard and his friends travel through the dangerous worlds of Viking mythology, the stakes grow ever higher, and now Leonard must fight to not only save his grandfather's kingdom, but the family he never knew he had.

Busy Busy Busy!


Been super busy the past couple of weeks. I finished the “final” edit of the Elvenking: Leonard the Great, Book 3 manuscript ("final" is in quotes because, as my fellow authors know, you're never really finished). Now formatting/reformatting the interior of all three books in the series with a new design template from Book Design Templates - it's super easy to use and looks great.

New covers for Dragonfriend, Giantkiller AND Elvenking should be here by the end of the month. Exciting (for me, anyway)!

Waiting in the wings: Full novel version of Undrastormur and completion of the first draft of Ghost Star 2 (don't have a name for that one yet)!  Doing my best to stay positive and make this crazy year as productive as possible! #fantasy #scifi #author

Why Do We Love Dragons? A Guest Post by Juli D. Revezzo

Author Juli D. Revezzo is paying a visit to my blog this week. Yay! She's written a guest post about dragons (some of my very favorite people) and will tell us a little bit about her newest book. Take it away, Julie!

**


Why do we love dragons? That is the question. If you look on Amazon, it turns out, dozens of books if not hundreds within the fantasy genre the concern dragons. Everything from fiction to “nonfiction” titles of sort that report to give you the history of dragons. I think there are even books concerning the mythological aspects of dragons. They have made appearances and everything from the Bible to Eastern mythology to fantasy fiction to even TV shows and movies. But why?

Why dragons, as opposed to unicorns and fairies which of course have their own section of the bookstore. But why are they so much more popular than the aforementioned creatures? Or elves, or sprites, or any of the other magical and mythological ghoulies in creatures that storytellers of come up with over the years? I have to opposing answers to that question: one is the snarky answer hell if I know. The other well honestly I don't know. Possibly because dragons are magical, and the magical seems to resonate some folks (like you and me, otherwise, we wouldn’t be here, right?
J).  But possibly because they represent in various mythologies the concept of power and strength.

Whatever the case, they are the most popular and an easy cipher to readers who identify with the genre.  There is another reason: In my urban fantasy series, Antique Magic, the hero, Trevor, is Welsh and—you guessed it—a dragon is the mythological mascot of Wales. So it made sense to bring one into him and Caitlin’s story, which is heavily flavored with Welsh legend and mythology.  Rather than making him a fierce, fellow, though, as per usual, in the world of Antique Magic, the dragon comes to the couple with a request for help, that too based on a Welsh myth—he needs help fixing a magical cloak he wears. For what reason? You’ll have to read to find out! If you’d like to check it out, it’s available at Amazon: https://smarturl.it/g718ai

And the synopsis is as follows:
Since Caitlin and Trevor vowed to assist the Otherworld and opened their enchanted antique shop, they’ve seen many strange things. But now, someone comes in asking for a mundane item: kitschy “witches” brooms. Has their magical life returned to normal?
As the couple prepares to host a family gathering, fate intervenes and something they’ve never seen before roars into their life: A creature out of Welsh legend and fantasy: A blundering, somewhat underdeveloped dragon—not at all the type of dragon they ever expected to meet. Forced to undertake his unique challenge, Caitlin and Trevor are perplexed by his demands, but the magical beast is certain they are the only witches who can help him.
Doing so might unlock an ancient hidden secret. Refusing might destroy them.

I hope you’ll enjoy my take on dragons.  Oh and if you’d like to check out the entire series, it too is available at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074CGZ16N?ref_=dbs_r_series&storeType=ebooks

Thanks, Roger, for having me here!
