Reading and Dreaming
Well I try to take some time each day, aside from the news, mail, social media, professional sorts of things. I take some time for fiction, to fill up my dream world, to sink into a character, to fall into a story, to get lost beyond my own life into something else. I choose romances,…

They say first impressions are important, and I am sure the dragons share that particular belief.
