Mystery Monday

5 Flames Good Evening My Fellow Book Dragons I hope this finds you well. Spring is approaching ! My eyes have finally gotten past the wretched double vision. Our gem this evening came to me in the form of a ticket, a ride ticket, specifically a Ferris Wheel ride ticket.

Mystery Monday

The Jinx 2. The most hair raising, terrifying, truthful True Crime documentary you are likely to see this decade.

5 Flames Good Evening, My Dearest Book Dragons, I hope this finds you all as well as possible. Tonight’s review is going to be a little different. It’s not a book, nor is it a well established Dragon Feeder..this is a documentary. A tale that contains a Monster, a Knight, a beautiful Princess and a Troubadour of sorts. I need to talk about myself a bit first, not something I am wont to do…

This is two time Dragon Feeder Darin Miller’s…

5 Flames Good Evening, My Fellow Wyverns. I hope this finds you in the mood for a bit of a freakish, creepy tale. Our gem this evening came to be in the form of a blue, furry, ping pong ball eyed miniature puppet. I found him cute and sat him on the mantle here in the library. I was enjoying my midnight cuppa in front of the fire when he moved! He slowly rose to his full height (about 8…

5 Flames Good Evening My Fellow Book Dragons, I hope these lovely Spring evenings are finding you well. This evenings Gem came to me in a roll of surgical bandage.

5 Flames Good Evening My Fellow Book Dragons, I hope you are doing well. Please keep Baltimore in your thoughts over the next few weeks. What a horrible tragedy. This evening’s gem came to me in the form of a First Aid Kit. Very clever, I thought.

An excellent memoir of one man's career in Law Enforcement.

5 Flames Good Evening My Fellow Book Dragons, Our Gem this evening came to me as a nicety from Dragon Feeder Danny R. Smith. He of the wonderful Dickie Floyd Detective Novel Series, a fantastic set of modern noir based on several of the very crimes he, himself, worked as a Homicide Detective with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. “Nothing Left to Prove” is not fiction. It is an…

A survivor's guide to Motherhood.

       5 Flames Good Evening My Fellow Book Dragons, I am sitting here in the Cave’s library listening to the winter winds howl and rage as rain falls in torrents, raging against the rock walls.
