Dragons, Dogs and (grande) dames

Merlin's Dragon by T A Barron is a YA book. Barron's web site is here: http://www.tabarron.com/.

The viewpoint character in this book is a ?????? Well, he doesn't know himself until the end of the book. He looks like a small green lizard and has a talent for smells and luck.

He needs the latter quite a lot as something always seems to be wanting to eat or squash him. This is your typical magical journey of discovery with a very atypical hero. An interesting book with perhaps a few to many way points on the journey.

This is part of, or rather set in, a magical world the author has already developed. It stands alone as a story.

Divorced, Desperate and Dating by Cristie Craig Her web site is here: http://www.christie-craig.com/

This is the third of her books I've read (see the tags on Live Journal for the others) and the second in her D, D & D series. As usual very funny. One scene with a telephone had me in tears of laughter.

An engaging heroine and hero, a twisty plot and lots of sexy bits. And that not even counting the crotch seeking missile dog.

She's got another book, Gotcha!, scheduled for next June. I'm not quite sure if it's part of this series or not. No matter, I can hardly wait to read it. I do wonder what she'll be counting next though.

Once Upon A Christmas by Diane Farr. A Christmas Regency romance. (And that's the best kind) Diane had a web page, but it has fallen victim to AOL.

This site has some information. http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~awoodley/farr/ At least at this point the homepage link at the bottom still goes to the dead AOL site.

A light and amusing Christmas tale. Just the thing for a cold winters day. I read a lot of Regencies. I have since I fell in love with Georgette Heyer's books. This was true to the period with one of those deliciously interfering grande dames to move the plot along.
