Festival of Life!

For those of you who don’t know, my mother passed early this year. As part of a Buddhist Festival of Life, my sister paid a farmer to raise 6 pheasants. The birds (which are actually quite beautiful) reached the appropriate age for release this weekend, so we set free into a no-hunting zone. Hopefully they’re smart enough to stay there and not wander off! The Festival of Life, btw, just asks that the mourners release something that would have been killed back into the wild.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a picture of the pheasants flying free. They’re fast! But here we are—I’m in the dragon tee shirt!

Double wammy!


Hello everyone! Hope you are having a great week and really looking forward to the weekend. It’s so nice that the weather has started to cool, especially since I’ve been writing so much. I haven’t felt bad about not leaving my office.

The Chicago Tribune recently reviewed THE DRAGON EARL. You can find the review here

I’ve also received a copy of the DRAGONBOUND cover. What do you guys think??

Hellloooooo Everyone!!! I hope your September has been full of good reads and good times. I just got back from a treacherous trip to Aiken, SC for the opening weekend of their BRAND NEW Books-a-Million! The store was beautiful, the town charming, and the people just so FRIENDLY. I love going down south, y’all really know how to make a lady feel welcomed!

Last night I had the chance to chat with the lovelies over at Circle of Seven on their radio show. You can listen to the result below!

I have a ton of appearances coming up in the next few weeks, so check out the Appearances section of the website to see if I’m coming to a town near you.

Happy reading,

Jade
