When you hear the term opening day, what comes to mind first? (For a chance to win a free copy of my novel Dragonborn, add your first thought to the comments below.) For me, opening day brings baseball to mind. Going to Wrigley field and still wearing my winter coat as the wind whips across Lake Michigan.
Today, is an opening day of sorts for my newest fantasy novel, Dragonborn. It just dropped this morning across all the platforms. It’s a whole new episode in my life as a writer. And it all started with an idea that is now found in book four of the series. I liked the scene and characters but their situation raised questions. The main question was why? Why were they in that situation? I followed the trail of questions until I found all the answers I needed. Of course I’m still fleshing the story out, I know the basics. I know why and am now discovering what, who, where, and when.

About Dragonborn
Dragons. Magic. Rents in time. Dragonborn follows the journey of the young prison guard, Ervig Greenfields, as he seeks the help of dragons to remove a curse. The dragons offer Ervig access to the Labyrinth of Times, which will purge the dark magic. But there’s a catch. Erving must take the Dragon Oath—an oath to secrecy which requires him to fight alongside the dragons for centuries, never to return to his own time.
Dragonborn available through the following outlets.
