#CTST and Sign of the Green Dragon by C.Lee McKenzie


I can't believe this is July 29th!
Celebrate the Small Things
Hop over to Lexa Cain's and join in this fun weekly Celebration. Lexa's wonderful co-hosts are:
L.G. Keltner @ Writing Off The Edge
Tonja Drecker @ Kidbits Blog 

If August turns out to be as beautiful as July, this will be the best summer (weather wise) we've experienced in many years!!

Some of my gardens, 
a hanging plant from my daughter.
I'm enjoying my time writing outside within eye sight of my blooming gardens. And ~ I felt a sense of exhilaration when I passed the halfway point of my WIP. 


Now I have a Huge Surprise> 
C. Lee McKenzie's
Sign of the Green Dragon
Coming: August 3rd.
Available for Pre-Order



BlurbA crumbling map from 1859, found clutched in the bony grip of the long dead, sends three young boys on a dangerous adventure where an unsolved murder, a modern crime, some lost ancestors and ancient Chinese dragons reveal the true meaning of treasure.



Author bio: I love to write for young readers. Sign of the Green Dragon is my third Middle Grade novel. Alligators Overhead and the sequel, The Great Time Lock Disaster were my first two. I’m proud to be a hybrid author with three Indie books out along with four traditionally published young adult novels: Sliding on the Edge, The Princess of Las Pulgas, Double Negative and Sudden Secrets. It’s fun to know both sides of this writing business. 

When I’m not writing I’m thinking about it or scratching my head over how all of this started.

  11. What beautiful flowers!!! I think I could find plenty of inspiration while surrounded by all that. Do bees come around, though? I can't sit outside now without wasps swarming me. My husband says my fear of them is completely unjustified--I act like they could kill me when all they'd do is just sting me!
