Growing up without a television fueled my love of reading. I had no electronics to occupy my downtime between homework and supper, or when I wasn’t adventuring elsewhere. Books transported me into new worlds, filled my head with dreams and my heart with longings. 

Books like Black Beauty, National Velvet, and My Friend Flicka, awoke a terrible yearning in me to have a horse of my own. I wasted no thought on the practicality of caring for, housing, and transporting one from place to place as my dad moved our family to wherever the Army sent him. Horses became my obsession. 

Until Anne McAffrey’s Dragon Riders of Pern changed everything. I needed a dragon. One who communicated with me, understood me, empathized with me, and took me flying anytime I wanted to escape. As time passed and I matured (and not always willingly, I might add), the impossible dream faded. Rather, life, marriage, jobs, and kids of my own trampled it into the unyielding ground of reality. 

As the kids grew lives of their own and pandemonium settled into the background, reality became less rigid. If I couldn’t have a dragon, I could certainly give life to the one I’ve wanted for so many long years. 

What if Gabri, a character from the Tetrasphere series who refused to grow up quietly, found herself in an impossible situation? What if a baby dragon longed for her person as I had once longed for a dragon? Would magic happen if the two found each other? You can find out by reading Sanctum, the first book in the Dragon Guild series.
