If you are new to the Dragon Nimbus, pull up a chair and join us as we revel in tales that have touched my heart more than anything else I've written under any pen name. If you are returning after an absence, I am very happy to have you back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a world that began with a Christmas gift of a blown-glass dragon. The dragon sat proudly on the knick-knack shelf for several months, loved and admired, reluctantly dusted, and totally inert. Then one night at dinner, my son remarked, \"You know, Mom, I think dragons are born all dark, like that little pewter dragon, then they get more silvery as they grow up until they are as clear as glass.\" The dragon came to life for me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOut of that chance remark came first one book, then three, five, seven, and finally ten. I built a career on these books and loved every minute of the process. These characters still live in my mind many years after they jumped into their stories and dragged me along with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany thanks to DAW Books and my editor Sheila Gilbert for reviving \u003ci\u003eThe Dragon Nimbus\u003c\/i\u003e a lucky thirteen years after they first debuted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith these omnibus volumes, you can read about the dragons with crystal fur that directs your eye elsewhere yet defies you to look anywhere else. Wonderful dragons full of wit and wisdom. Magic abounds. Magicians and mundanes alike learn about their world and special life lessons as they explore dragon lore past and present. The books will be presented in the order in which they were written, and the order that makes the most sense of the entwined tales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo, sit back and enjoy with me. And may reading take you soaring with Dragons.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DAW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47010517483760,"sku":"9780756404536","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780756404536","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
