Today’s the second day of the blog tour! I received the proof copy of the novella yesterday and am working on finishing some tweaks. 🙂
Let’s talk about the setting and genre for The Thief, The Damsel, And The Dragon. This novella takes place in a small town in North Carolina during the summer. It isn’t the first time NC has been the setting for one of my books — JUMP takes place in NC, as well. Can y’all tell I really love North Carolina? 😉
My grandparents live pretty close to the tourist attractions (Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Franklin, etc) so when we visit them, we often go to the cities. But I adore the mountains, backroads that twist through the dense trees, and, just, gah! Writing TT,TD,TD definitely made me want to go visit again!
Now, let’s talk genre! TT,TD,TD is a Christian, contemporary romance. The romance is sweet and clean. Contemporary isn’t a new genre for me (both Seek and JUMP are contemporaries), but the difference with this novella is it’s not action/adventure or paranormal — which is a first for me! I intended from the start for this novella to challenge me, and it sure did, because I didn’t write any car chases or have paranormal activity. It was still plenty of fun, though I can’t wait to get back to some action writing. 😛

My favorite Summer activity is probably reading, with swimming being a close second. Only problem is, I can’t read and swim at the same time! 😀

It is quite the conundrum. ;D But I love those things, too. A million dollar idea is water proof books… 😛
Sorry I was not able to participate in the blog tour (😢😢😢😢), but I did enter the giveaway!! Is it okay to hope I win? 😉
By the way, my fave summer activity is doing nothing 😂😂😂😂. Just kidding. I love reading and writing 😊😊
No problem! =) Thanks for checking out the tour. ♥♥
LOL! I feel ya. Sometimes the sun is just perfect for taking a nap. ;D
By the way, I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove the setting for this book. Not enough books have the southern setting, and it’s just perfect!! 😊❤❤❤❤
Ahhhh, agreed! =D ♥ It is just so pretty and there’s the choice of ‘city’ or ‘very country’ in NC. xD Thanks, Penny!
I think I could write a million books set just in NC and not get tired of it. It’s so lovely!! ❤
You’re welcome, Angela!! 😉😉😊
By the way, do you live in NC?
I feel ya!! I actually live in Tennessee. =) But I would love to move to NC. My grandparents live there, so we just might. 😉
I hope you do! I live in a tiny town in NC, and I love it.
(And there’s a house for sale right next to me. Tell your parents to move beside us 😂😂😂)
Oh my gosh, that sounds epic. Seriously. xD Let me go pack. xD
xD That would be awesome!!!! ❤ 😄😄
The setting was absolutely perfect! <3 I want to visit North Carolina someday! Sounds gorgeous! 😀
It is amazing!! *heart eyes* I might be a wee bit obsessed. ;P If you ever visit, let me know, I can show you around, lol!
Sounds like a plan!
Your book sounds cool! My favorite summer activity would be swimming, jet skiing, riding my horse, gardening, etc. I can’t decide!!! 😉
I entered the giveaway! But can I ask, how do ebooks work?
Thanks!

Riding horses and gardening are so fun!! I’ve never been jet skiing before, though. =D
eBooks are basically a Kindle copy on Amazon. 🙂
