My other favorite character is even more surprising. Well, my favorite character is Uncle Richard, because he’s the biggest worrier I’ve ever seen in addition to eating constantly, a combination of traits which, yes, describe me. Tell us a little about your main characters.

That’s why I read books-so that I can have an adventure without ever leaving my house.

I won’t lie: I like to pretend, but really, I’m not brave or adventurous. In reality, my “hidden character” is the bumbling, fretting, uncoordinated Uncle Richard. One would expect for Sarah Lynn to be my “hidden character,” but actually, she is based off of one of my best friends. How much of yourself is hidden in the characters in the book?Įveryone in my stories is based off of someone I know-either in real life or as a fictional character. As the “peaceful” Draçar pressure Sarah Lynn to be their translator, and the “warring” Draçar attempt to murder her, along with the other humans, she and Tag’ren, her Draçian friend, find themselves caught in a crossfire between two civilizations who never should have met. Some of the Draçar wish to make peace with the explorers, yet others want to fight for their territory and eradicate the invaders from the face of the planet. Oh, yes, Sarah Lynn does indeed meet some “savages”-but of a curiously Draçian sort: The Draçar are great feathered dragons, capable of flight and telepathy. Sarah Lynn Loque, whose parents are presumed dead, goes with her bumbling Uncle Richard to explore the New World and find her missing father however, when she learns that she will merely be helping the other women in cooking, cleaning, etc., she runs away into the jungle, expecting to perhaps meet some “savages,” as Uncle Richard likes to say.

The Draçian Dance is set in the “exploration period,” around the 1700s. It’s about some dragons and this girl who dies, only to forge a new peace between two warring civilizations.
