Jaleth and the Dragons, Now in Paperback

In 2017, I published Jaleth and the Dragons as a stand-alone e-novellette for Kindle and Nook. I did not publish it as a paperback because it is 50 pages long, a "long short story." I intended, at some point, to publish a short-story collection that would include Jaleth and the Dragons, in both print and e-formats. 

However, I realized my parents would not be able to see Jaleth in its e-incarnation, so I decided to put together a print version for them. (It is much easier, by the way, to do the print version first.) I did most of the work and then there it sat for six years. There has been a lot going on. But I finally finished it, got ready to get them copies, and thought . . . why not? I had done all the work and it was ready to go . . . so I went ahead and put it up for sale on Amazon. I'm still planning to do the short story collection, but at this rate it will be a few more years, so Jaleth and the Dragons can stay in print until then.

Happy Anniversary, Mom and Dad!
