Scenes from a Writing Retreat

Castle life in the south of France.

Winning a scholarship to the Creativindie Castle Writing Retreat has been a game-changer for me. I am back home in Arizona and its still mind-boggling that I spent three weeks chilling in a castle with other authors focusing solely on my writing. 

I have traveled to over a dozen countries so far in my two-year nomadic whirlwind but nothing has come close to waking up in a castle. 

I wrote on Facebook that I didn't know if I could go back to peasant life outside the castle. I am still adjusting. LOL ;p

Fun facts:

🏰This castle is in partial ruins and was owned by the Lestrange family.

🏰There are many more scorpions in France than expected. 🦂 the spiders are fighting back. 🕷

🏰 Gargoyles are only called gargoyles if they have a rain spout. Otherwise, they are called grotesques.

Check out more of my pictures on my Facebook author page and let me know what you think of the Lestrange family ruins.  Bonus: Pictures of Jean Claude Van Cat: the castle kitty!

Scenes from my layover in London

Imagine our heroine eating fish and chips on a patio at a pub near Kings Cross.

Completely unaware of the perdicament she would find herself in.

The heavens open up. Is it a common London rain?

No

The second floor decided to water their window planter above.

Cheers, Sami

PS. It does look like I am eating a fried hand. It was fish yet I did cut off the weird toe looking bit.

The path of her destiny is written within her blood.
Myra is a carefree twenty-two year old who prefers to stay out of trouble. Unfortunately, all it takes is one night, one decision, and her life changes forever.

On her way home after a night out with friends, Myra runs into the Denver Demons—a dangerous gang of men known for their glowing eyes thought to be simple colored contacts. It’s only after being kidnapped that Myra discovers who and what they truly are. Mutts. Half human, half dragon, and they want something from her—something hidden in her blood. Turns out she’s a mutt herself, and they need her dragon power in order to become stronger.

Saved by a group of dragons determined to fight the Denver Demons, Myra is dragged into a world that should have belonged to fantasy. Now she must decide whether she wants to return to her human life, or embrace the dragon inside her.
