Oh yes yes the plot sounds delightful! I have an obsession with mines as I'm less than a couple of miles away from two of the biggest mining companies in the world. And dragons in the mine?! What a cool concept!
Hi Teresa, how are you? In this day and age, and the busy life that we have, all we need is a little fantasy to set us free from reality. This book seem interesting and I could easily immerse myself into this mysterious world.
Happy reading.
Hi Theresa,
How have you been... I hope all is well.
What a great book!
Have a wonderful day.
fondly,
Penny
Teresa, dear, it's been a long time! :) We have had a hectic summer so far, and our internet connection has been rather spotty...so much less time is spent on blogger these days.
I hope you are doing well, and I'm sure you are so excited to see your sister and her kids! I'm assuming they are just visiting, and not moving again. We are finally having some nice weather after such along winter and so far a very wet summer.
Even the farmers are struggling right now.
How is your son? Do you know, with my ADD, I had the check written out, I thought I had sent it, but I didn't...what a ditz!! So it is on its way now, I am so sorry.
Be on the lookout with your mailbox as well! ;)))
I have yet to order this wonderful book, on my to-do list...I think my daughter and I will both love it.
Sending love and blessings to you,
