Misadventures of a Dragon’s Chosen
by Rafaela Drougouti
Kindle $2.99 Rating: 4.6 #ad
“Your spirit resonates with mine so it is quite possible that you will gain some of my abilities of perception. Your eyes will be keener and notice more details. You may even find yourself less easily fooled. But the most useful thing you will gain from my teachings, is the ability to take hold of your own life.”
“That’s it? he cried. “A giant purple dragon talks to me as my psychiatrist and tells me to believe in myself and that’s all?”
“It most certainly is not, but now that you mention it… it sounds as good of a first piece of advice as any.” The Pearl started flashing then, pulsating through all the colors of the rainbow.

AWAKENINGS
by Chuck Cascio, Chuck Cascio
Kindle $2.99 Rating: 4.8 #ad
The ten stories in this collection have many scenes, actions, settings, conflicts, moments. Different characters create awakenings–sometimes without knowing it–for one another, for themselves, and for others.
We all have those moments. It could be a word, a phrase, a look, an event, or just a thought that passes and then returns and then grows and then…we awaken! Many times, we do not realize the moments that made that impact until time has passed. And sometimes we do not see the moments in ourselves at all, yet we do see them in others. Perhaps we do not have to see inside ourselves in order to be awakened.
