and tyranny of the High Chancellor and her Moralist. Desperately

tide. Now with Agents searching for him and age pressing down upon

he hold on long enough to teach the boy what he needs to know or
will the flood finally sweep him away first?
What do you get when dragons combine their hoards? What do you get
when you take a little slice of dragon lore? "The Dragons' Beads"
features the work of Elizabeth Buckley, Niels Van Eekelen, Athena
Garcia, Ollie Lambert, Douglas J. Moore, Meghan Proctor, Jo Anne
Spiese, Kristina Stumpf & Michael Camp, and Rachel Wookey. This
is the first volume of what is hoped to be a multi volume project
highlighting essays, art, poetry, and short stories featuring
and/or about dragons. Originally it was supposed to be a contest to
highlight the best dragon stories and poems from young authors. The
project had to be adjusted due to an initial lack of submissions.
Perhaps future volumes will be able to have more competition, and
it is hoped that in the future THG StarDragon Publishing will be
able to afford having cash prizes to fuel writer's interest in
exchange for featuring the "beads" of their stories. Submissions
for the next volume are open, and instructions can be found at
www.thgstardragon.com for those interested in participating.
Every girl yearns for adventure, romance and magic in their lives.
BlowingWind MountainChild had all of these and lost them, just as
she was starting on what she thought would be the greatest
adventure of her life. Now, she is being called out by the forces
of life and undertaking the journey into adulthood alone. However,
journeys always seem to entail healing, and a quest to find her
lost love turns into something even greater. Take Ryu is a
boisterous magma ryugami trapped for five years beneath Mt. Fuji
for the crime of becoming too engrossed in human affairs. Upon the
end of his imprisonment he emerges to find a strange and undefended
shaman woman within his territory. Falling prey once more to his
kind heart he too is swept up in the threads of a destiny that
neither human nor dragon could have ever believed. This is the
first book of the Dragon Shaman series, which will follow
BlowingWind and her family in a saga of such depth and breadth,
that some greater being, or beings must surely be behind the
scenes. But for what purpose?
BlowingWind and Ryu expected to be able to get on with living, but
Fate has a different idea for the young Shaman in training and her
Dragon Protector. Continuing her adventures between the worlds of
Spirit and Man, BlowingWind traverses the worlds, and even time
itself to regain the Smoky Mirror. Take Ryu, her protective volcano
dragon kami and suitor follows her, in a quest of his own that he
is not fully aware of. To his dismay, a kitsune and two tengu
complicate matters even further, and are responsible for tests of
her character and problem solving ability. The root of an ancient
curse is revealed and witnessed, possibly giving clues to how to
fix it. The question is if she will remember them, and if she can
regain what was lost. More important, will she start growing into
her preordained multicultural role? Or will she even be able to
return at all from this unexpected twist in her life's plans, and
get back on her feet? This second book in the Dragon Shaman series,
"The Smoky Mirror" continues from "Dragon Shaman: Taming the
Blowing Wind."
