It’s been a
while since I’ve talked about any single book or series. Well, let’s be honest,
it’s been a while since I’ve posted a lot of anything. But since life with a
new baby in the house is starting to settle down, and since I’m again finding a
daily groove, I think it’s well past time to once again begin posting about
books. So…
Last year I
saw an ad for a sci-fi/fantasy book about space travelling dragon
shapeshifters. At the time, I thought “what the heck, let’s give it a try?” and
I bought Abducting Abby by S.E. Smith. The story of Abby Tanner and
dragonshifter Zoran Reykill, leader of the Valdier, kicks off the Dragon Lords of Valdier series. From there it branches off with the related series: Curizan Warriors, Sarafin Warriors and Marastin Dow, and the Dragonlings of Valdier – a
second generation series from the other series I just listed. When I started
reading I had no idea what I was getting myself into. However, I was in for a
pleasant surprise.
As I
followed Abby, Cara, Trisha, Ariel, Carmen and the other women from Earth as
they met and fell in love with the various warriors who claim them, I was
happily entranced with the stories. For someone like myself who firmly believes
that there is life “out there” the imaginative possibilities presented by S.E.
Smith was like giving an unlimited supply of candy to a kid. And what’s even
better, is that these books are interesting enough that I can re-read them over
and over.
But you
know what’s really great?
Right now –
September 1-3, 2017 – all of Smith’s e-books are on sale for just 99 cents. So
right now is a really great time to stock up… and read! Explore the titles of all S.E. Smith's series here.
And you can
find even more ways to fan-stalk Smith, in all the good ways I mean, on her
