It’s time! It’s time! The most glorious time of the year! Fall! Halloween! Samhain! And… drum roll, please… The Brown Family Pumpkin Patch Pick-A-Beauty and Win a Jack-O-Lantern for Life Party-stravaganza. Everything is ready. My precious beauties are their orangey orangest and their roundy roundest, and they’re bigger than any other year in history. They are ready to be loved, carved, and lit up for all the world to see. This is gonna be the best ev… whoooooooa! What the heck just happened? What was that noise? Is there a perpetrator in my Pumpkin Patch? Was that the sound of a gourd smugglin’ son of gun messin’ with my babies? Oh, hell no! I am Molly Brown. Hear me roar. Ain’t nobody gonna mess with my punkins. With Cleo on my shoulder and my trusty Wand back in the house, this Keeper of the Sacred Pumpkin is on the case. No way, no how is anyone gonna rain on my parade. But wait! What’s that sound? What was that flash of scales? Was that…” Could it really be…? Look! Up in the sky! It’s a bat! It’s a ghost! Oh, my gracious, Goddess with googly eyes, it’s the Great Dragon, Molly Brown! Another hilariously amazing addition to the Dragon Guard series – the Dragon Guard Holiday Love Stories demanded to be told. I hope you giggle and swoon, laugh out loud and fall in love with these sassy women and their Dragons who refused to be tamed.

Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays. Season’s Greetings. And… bah humbug! Christmas Eve is on the way. I’m the one and only Keeper of the Christmas Star, the Curator of the Crystal Forest, the one Witch in all the world with the ability to give the Christmas Star the special Brown Family whammy-abracadabra-hocus pocus to light the way for Santa’s yearly sojourn… And I have a broken leg that just won’t heal. We’ve tried everything. Magic doesn’t work. My healing powers are no good. Even the great and revered Dr. Bombay, Doctor of Witches extraordinaire can’t get that pesky bone to knit itself back together. Did you know that a Witch can’t ride her broom with a broken leg? Well, I’m here to tell you – it’s a fact and it sucks. As if things weren’t bad enough, Edgar, my frumptastic-but-lovable Familiar, a rather cranky one-thousand-three-hundred-and forty-seven-year-old Christmas Elf swears I’ve been cursed. Can you imagine? Me? The fantasticness that is Ella Elizabeth Brown cursed? It’s just not possible. But… There have been an inordinate number of spiders lurking about my little cottage in the woods. I have been a little more klutzy than usual. And my daily phone call with my cousin, Molly was highjacked by the Dragon of my dreams and it did not go well. Could Edgar be right? Could someone hate Christmas so much that they’d curse the Keeper of the Christmas Star just to keep the jolly old Elf with a bowl full of jelly from making his yearly ride across the sky? Well, that just won’t do! This a mystery that must be solved. My leg has to heal. I have to get the special cookies that keep Santa from gaining weight baked, cooled and iced. And the list goes on and on and on. Time to pull out all the stops, whip up all the Magic, and swallow my pride. I need help and it comes in a great big package with wings and gorgeous golden and red scales. Christmas is not an option, people. It’s the most wonderful time of the year! I’m gonna need all the hope and faith and love you can send – and a helluva lotta luck to get that star twinkling, Santa on his way, and that Dragon right where I want him. Hold onto your stockings, my friends. This is one Holiday story you don’t want to miss.

Valentine’s Day went off without a hitch. Love was in the air. Arrows were flying. The chocolate-covered cherries were extra good, and... Drum roll please... My hunka-hunka-burning love returned from parts unknown. Everything was wonderful. The world was in love. I was in love. Even Bernie smiled for half-a-second And then it happened... Bibiddy-bobbity- blech-ack-gag-gag-gag! Whisked across the galaxy, thrown into a hole in the ground and separated from my Dragon, my happily ever after was brutally rebuffed and Goddess help us all, somebody touched my butt! This crap will not stand! Just let me get my Magic back and I’ll be kicking butt and not even asking for initials or my name’s not Violet E. Brown, Witch Extraordinaire and Keeper of the Spark of Love! Watch out, bad guys! Back up Spiorpion! My spellin’ fingers are cocked and Bernie’s fit to be tied! We’re coming to save my Dragon Man, jerk a knot in your tail, and send you back to the Hell from whence you came. Valentine’s Day may be over, but the Love only stops when I say so. That’s my gig. That’s who I am. Amoré is what I do! Ya’ hear me, Bad Guy? I’ve got a Heart on for my Dragon and nuthin’ stops a Brown Witch - not even you!
