Steven’s Heart; by Ashavan Doyon – New Release and Giveaway

  Thank you, Andy, for having me here at the Land of Make Believe again. It was just about a year ago that I was here talking about Loving Aidan, and it’s great to be back to talk with you and your readers again, this time about Steven’s Heart. It’s interesting because when I first stopped by I remarked on writers starting first as readers, and my post yesterday at Prism Book Alliance was focused on books that really influenced me. I remember that you were struck by the cover for Loving Aidan, and I will report that lightning does apparently strike twice, because once again I got almost exactly the cover I asked for. In this case I did …

Free Fiction Friday – The Price of Love – Part 5

The Price Of Love – Part 5 Epilogue Sitting on the edge of a parapet in the Magi Citadel, I stared up at the Island in the Clouds. Three months later and he still filled my thoughts. I lost him the day the world was saved. Another bittersweet day in my life. Part of me wanted to go back to that cave to see if his spirit remained, waiting for me to return. In my heart I knew I wouldn’t find him there, but I couldn’t quell that last bit of hope. After the defeat of the Degari, Chenoth and his army left our world. No explanations, no words of wisdom, nothing. The blue dragon, however, remained. He refused all …

Free Fiction Friday – The Price of Love – Part 4

  The Price Of Love – Part 4   Sounds from inside the cave interrupted my thoughts. A new wave of anxiety washed over me. Chenoth was no longer a spirit and would obviously be the one to carry me back. I didn’t—couldn’t—blame him for taking Barh, but it didn’t hurt any less. He’d ripped my heart from my chest and left me alone and numb. Even with my promise to Barh, I didn’t know how I could ride Chenoth back to where our army waited. When I got the courage to look, I saw a blue dragon walking slowly toward me. Although smaller than Chenoth, the new dragon barely fit inside the tunnel. I should have been seized with fear, …
