Diana's Dragons
"The Awaited"
About the Story
Wholesome,
Exciting, Inclusive
Middle Grade
and Young Adult
Fantasy
Through one electrifying (sometimes literally) trial after another, although Love is always the answer, the tools are magic, strength, vigor, perception, and stealth. And the occasional fire-breathing battle. Because even within Love, Diana, the dragons, and their heroic friends must defend themselves, their hatchlings, and the future of dragon magic from those who seek to abuse it.

Scenes from Book 2
The corner of the cave where Jeff Santos found himself was bare and shallow. And it was guarded by vultures. It was not that he couldn’t leave the tiny alcove, but should he wander a few feet toward the main chamber, the birds were upon him, and not just with their natural arsenal. Had beaks and talons been the only threats, he would have run for it long ago.
