Coyote Dance

2015

Banger wants to save the day. Mik wants to save the world. What they really need is to save each other. When Banger wakes up in an earthship house in the desert, surrounded by dragons, he knows his whole life has changed. Add to that the fact that the man he's been chasing for years has a new lover, and he's pretty sure his day can't get much weirder. Which is when he accidentally trips trying to save his friends and shoots someone. Mik has never been shot on a first date before. When his spirit dragon Piasa tells him to go to the little compound in the Chihuahua desert he's expecting dragons, maybe smugglers, but he figures no one could expect Banger. Even as Mik falls for Banger, his new lover decides he's a danger to the baby dragons he's there to help, and Banger ends up kidnapped by a white slaver in the desert. Can Mik save Banger from danger, and keep him from hurting himself? Publisher's Note: Coyote Dance is best enjoyed after reading Turquoise Trail (Desert Dragons 1).

Raven Dreams

2016

Coyote shifter Dan has lost his memory during a rough kidnapping. Raven shifter Kalo thinks he's going to lose his mind if his cousin Mik won't leave the low desert and come back home to their tribe like the elders want him to. Dan is a lovely distraction, but even if coyote and raven are best friends in his people's mythology, Kalo's not sure he can trust a man who can't remember anything. Add in a clutch of dragon eggs, a bunch of stressed out dragon guardians, and some very busy dragons, and Dan and Kalo seem like they're on a path to sheer destruction. Can they come together in time to save a pair of newborn dragons, or will they lose themselves in pride and suspicion? Author’s Note: While I’d love for every book to stand alone, the dragons books are a series in the truest sense. While I hope any reader could enjoy this book on its own, the dragon series is best enjoyed when read in order. Please see my website for recommendations. XXOO Julia
