Carrie said I could write about anything I
wanted. I'm not sure she knew what she was getting into....but here goes!
The number one question I get asked is where I
get my inspiration from. So I thought I would give y'all an answer.
I have an incredibly vivid imagination, always
have had. My parents used to tell stories about my imaginary friend 'Henry'
that lived in the crack in the bathroom wall.
He was my friend from about two years old until
I was almost four. All was great and we apparently played for hours and hours
every day and then tragedy struck! Henry wrote on my mother's freshly painted
white walls with black permanent marker and I had to clean it off. As the story goes, my mom heard me in the bathroom telling Henry that he
had to go back in his crack in the wall and stay there because I got in
trouble! No one ever heard from Henry again. heehee
As far as the actual
characters in the Dragon Guard series, they are based on the people I have
known throughout my life. My grandparents, parents and aunts and uncles all had
the kind of marriages that you read about or see in movies. Yes, they disagreed
and argued but at the end of the day they loved each other....really loved
one another. They were all married over forty years, only separated by
the death of one spouse and even then it was obvious they still had a
connection that could not be severed. THAT is what the mates of the Dragon
Guard have and what I think truly defines soul mates.
As far as the individual characters, they
contain a piece of me. I think that happens for a lot of writers, we write what
we know and feel and pieces of us fall into the mix. But they are also built on
the innate goodness, loyalty, strength, honesty mixed with a healthy
dose of individuality I see in the countless people I have been blessed with
knowing over the years. Some are more serious, some live out loud, some are
the nurturers and some are the leaders and when they all come together it
creates magic and that is what I hope each reader takes from my
writing....a little bit of magic.
Thank you Carrie for having me on The Indy Book
Fairy Blog! YOU ROCK!! Thank each and everyone of you that stopped by and
remember...Believe in magic! and Look of dragons...they are
everywhere! Fate will not be denied!

Lines “No matter how humble, there’s no place like home,”
“The
one female in the entire world created just for him. She is the other half of
his soul, the completion of the man and his beast. She provides them with
peace, love and light. She grounds them, makes them whole. She is the single
most important person to both entities in this world and the next”
“The
Universe is all knowing and all powerful. She knows what each person needs and
She creates their perfect compliment in the form of their mate. She has no
regard for species or location, only that every dragon shifter, be they Guard
or not, have that one person that truly completes them. She makes no mistakes.”
“These
bells will always be ringing.”
What
a fabulous debut book for this talented author! I mean who doesn't love big
sexy alpha DRAGONS! Yummy! Rayne is a Dragon Warrior who has found his mate,
they met under less than normal circumstances but, he will not let her go and
neither will his dragon! Kyndel can't believe this gorgeous man literally was
dropped right at her feat. She never opens her heart, kind, or home to anyone
but, Rayne literally makes her feel safe and more cherished than she has in all
her life. She's doesn't know why but, she's decided to live for once. She's a
woman that doesn't take any crap, she's a "spitfire" and I loved
reading about her.
He
tells her the most amazing things but before she can even think on them they
are running from crazy hunters. Along the way she falls for the dragon but will
hose hunters stop her from getting her happily ever after? Ha you gotta read it
find out!!!
It's
a great story, with hot dragons, realistic woman, and oh my so YUMMINESS! This
author has no problem opening the doorway to her world! I look forward to
returning soon! The details, the way she describes ever part of this book makes
it so easy to close your eyes and see those beautiful dragons, the world they
are in, and the hotness of those warriors!

Lines “I promise on all that I hold sacred, I will never let anything happen to
you again.”
“She
had so many more things she wanted to experience with him. She would find a way
back.”
“If
I can’t get back to him, God, please keep Aidan safe and let him know love.”
“when
the two halves of the same whole meet, there will be instant recognition. Their
souls will merge and only then will the dragon shifter know complete peace;
they will have found their true home. It will be as if the time before they met
does not exist. All that matters is that they become one in body, mind, and
soul.’”
“Yes,
she did Mr. O’Brien, and this necklace is never going to stop ringing”
Yep!
Just as amazing as the first book in this spectacular series!
Aiden
is a tortured soul he has felt so responsible first for Aiden's brothers death
then his betrayal. Now he just wants to find him and make him pay. So when his
mate walks through the door (while in a comprising position) he can't believe
his luck and how he was almost caught. (It was hilarious!)
Grace
is after "The Auctioneer" a horrible man who takes woman and sells
them. All she cares about is putting that trash behind bars. She's been working
non-stop to find him. One night she decided to go to her best friend Kyndel's
house since she was exhausted and what does she find?? A gorgeous man who makes
her "spidey senses" tingle like crazy.
All
while fighting the traitor and looking for the auctioneer these two fall head
over heels for each other. You have to read this one to find out if the traitor
and the bad guy get in the way.
The
YUMMINESS in this book was enough to make my toes curl.
This
author does a great job of brining you into her world and holding you there
ease. It's a fabulous series that I hope continues for many more books!
Bravo!

Lines “He had lifted her from the rubble and pieces of her world
had fallen into places”
“When
in the hell had he ever taken to the time to think about a woman’s hair,
let alone to watch how it curled?”
“He
had mistaken love for weakness when in essence it was the strength that
had brought him back to the life, and the unyielding force that made
absolutely anything seem possible.”
“The
only thing she knew without a doubt was that no matter how she’d fought
it, no matter how much she had denied it, this man was a part of her, a
part she could not and would not live without.”
“A
heat unlike any she had ever known consumed her from the inside out and
laid her open, heart and soul, to her mate. The moment was perfect. And
then as if a light switch had been flipped, she could feel what Lance
felt, confusing for an instant but then the piece of her soul she hadn’t known
was missing, slid into place and she was soaring.”
(Shivers)
SPECTACULAR!!! Julia Mills does it again! Lance is the jokester who makes you
want to smack him and love him all at once. He met Sam when the went after he
traitor. Lance was hell bent on not claiming him mate until things were calmer
and safer. Sam has a one track mind and that track is all about her career! HA
I LOVED HOW THE BOTH FELL!! It was perfect!!
The
traitor (Andrew) he's so twisted, angry, and hurt.i really want to hate it but
I find myself felling sorry for him. It's so sad to see him plummeting towards
rock bottom.
We
met so,e great new Charchters in this book. My favorite was he adorable Sydney.
She's the cutest little things ever.
It
was just another great addition to this series. I can't wait until the next
one!!
