Two boys and two girls stumble upon a previously unexplored cave. As they make their way through the maze of tunnels, they find mysterious creatures, intricate weapons, strange corpses and a handful of beautiful rocks that glow when one of the children holds them. What do the magical rocks really do? When one of the children falls in a deep, inescapable hole where a giant cave snake lives, the reptile offers a proposition to the rest - find and recover the Dragon's Blood amulet and bring it to him, or the trapped child will die. The remaining children have to rely on their wit and imagination as they search for the amulet.
Will they find the amulet and rescue the trapped child?
What happens when they use the magical stones near a small body of water in the cave known as "Still Water?"
A world of dragons awaits them, and you. Dragon's Blood - book one in the Denicalis Dragon Chronicles - is just the beginning of what dreams are made of.

Dragon's Blood is my first book as well as the first piece in my Denicalis Dragon Chronicles series. It began as a single story for my oldest son and has turned into a series of novels, full of adventure, magic, good vs. evil, and of course, dragons! So far there are four books in the series: Dragon's Blood, The Prisoner, Dragon's Tear, and Dragon's Breath - these are all live and ready to be downloaded for your reading pleasure. Book five, the final part of the story with the tentative title "The Secret of the Stones", is in process.
In between writing book three (Dragon's Tear) and book four (Dragon's Breath), I decided to take a break and work on another novel, which I started when I was writing Dragon's Blood but put aside for a while in order to concentrate on the series. While on break between novels, I quickly discovered I could no longer wait to write my next story, and after six months or so, "My Blissful Life As a Submariner's Wife" was born. It began as a humorous look at my marriage to a submariner but eventually (thankfully) turned into an inspirational look into one woman's life as a military dependent. It's meant for multiple groups - dependent wives who think they're alone in their struggles, women going through (or having gone through) a divorce who need some encouragement to take that next giant step into their future as a dependent woman, or civilians who think military families have an easy life because of the many benefits etc that they enjoy while supporting our country. Although some may not agree on the how's or why's behind "My Blissful Life", it should be read for what it is - one woman's story about her journey through life. Right or wrong, hopefully it will encourage someone, somewhere, to never give up when the going gets rough.
I grew up in South Florida, joined the Navy at 18 and found myself stationed far away from friends and family in paradise known as Hawaii. I met a submariner there, we married, and had three beautiful children before we moved back to the mainland. I now live in West Virginia with my husband, our Aussie Mix and three cats. I have found a true passion in both writing as well as visiting schools, encouraging children to read, write, and to never fear following their dreams!
