Progress How Novel 36

 

Debts is still under 26,000 words.

Been working on The Dragon's Keeper (TDK). Doing a bit at a time. Trying to get it to match what I have in mind but not always getting the words right. I hate when the words won't come, though you can see it clearly in your mind.   

The cover for TDK is here. Sidereal

Took a stab at the blurb:

Rissa's been a slave since her Coming-of-Age celebration was crashed by the Denea invaders fifteen years ago when they attacked her village. She had been resigned to being one for the rest of her life until her cruel master crossed a line she didn't know she still held. Her revived anger and outrage drive her to disrupt his plans and escape. The dragon Shrine offers sanctuary. But her master and his co-conspirator won't give up their plans so easily and the dragon is being secretively mysterious. Is she leaping from one scorching fire straight into another? Would becoming the dragon's Servant save her from her present trouble or lead her to even more danger?

Would this tempt you to buy the book? 

I'm also trying to come up with a tagline/hook for TDK. Still haven't figured it out yet. Below are two of the ones I came up with this week. But I don't know if I like them enough.

She escaped a cruel master. By becoming the dragon's Servant she hoped to change her fate. But is she leaping out of the fire or straight into it?

She traded being a slave to a tyrant to being a servant to a dragon. But is she leaping out of one fire straight into another?

I also worked a bit on Deadly Flames and the first book in the Song Saga.  Did some bookbibling as well in different series. Names and such. Got lots of book ideas. Just takes me a long time to get the book down and out to publish. Six months to a year, depending on inspirations and time that I set aside to do the work.

Merry met and merry meet again.
