Bonus Scene: Kindred Spirits — 38 Comments

  1. Oh my I LOVE this scene … how unexpected for Lady Elizabeth to meet such a welcoming “high ranking” person!!! Hope to see this scene played out even more so … perhaps in a portrait of Pemberley or even April or even all of the Darcy family dragons or more? Thanks so much for sharing … my whole family love your Dragon stories!

  2. I noticed the reference to April helping to rescue Elizabeth! I do hope she wasn’t injured or in danger for too long?
    I enjoyed this little vignette/excerpt whichever it was. Thank you.

      • Elizabeth had to hurry down lots of steps to go to one of the meetings. Apology, would have to read your books a 4th or lost count (lol) time to remember which one. One of the first ones. I get excited every time a new book comes out and have to re-read them all. She said one day she would have to count them.

        Oh and love how in depth you go on communications between dragons and dominance. It is so so real. I relate it to dogs and other animal packs. You are so smart.

        Definitely a fan!

        • Thanks, I remember what you’re talking about now! LOL. With over half a million words (610K+ and counting) I sometimes lose track of things, which is why I have a single file with all the manuscripts so I can look things up across books.!

          • Oh, I figured, that maybe her daughter would want her to count steps or maybe a young dragon friend, or maybe one of Aunt Gardener’s children. Maybe someone says whew, how many steps are there, and she responds by reflecting back to the day she thought the same but now knows there are ____ steps. lol.

            Keep on writing. LOVE your books.

  3. This is absolutely lovely! Lady Dressler and Lady Elizabeth Darcy sound as though they will end up good, close friends. I can see many an illustrated monograph put out by these two women.

    Whether you write a standalone book, or incorporate this into another, this will be a rich addition to the dragon world. More of the changes LED’s wisdom – and the information learned from Beyond the Pale – brings to that society will be highlighted. There will be those who welcome as well as those who obstruct; with too many of the latter, stories become dark and hard to read. Some there need to see and accept, and even welcome, movement forward.

  4. Love this! Finally another friend for Lizzy who gets dragons (Anne is a great friend too). Can’t wait to see more! Thanks for sharing!

  5. You know I oved it and can’t wait to read more! So glad Elizabeth has found someone else who just gets her and dragons.

  6. There are several of your characters I want to meet; I just added Lady Dressler to that list. She sounds both interesting and someone who’ll be a particularly sympathetic and compatible friend (and Friend?) for Elizabeth. This is one of your more evocative passages; I want to see Lady Dressler’s dragon portraits.

  7. Yes, please add to your next book. Elizabeth needs a close friend to help with her dragon writings/illustrations…especially one who has felt like an outsider as well. Thank you!

  8. I loved this! I love how the tatzelwurm tells Lady Dressler that she was right. And what a sweet friendship is forming

  9. Terrific scene. It hints at questions yet to answer and reminders of events from previous books. Definitely agree with other comments regarding a new friend for Elizabeth who may/will be important in your next (or future) book.

  10. A delightful story!! Absolutely delightful!! I found myself smiling from the point at which Elizabeth spied the Tatzelwurm fur on the butler’s shoulder all the way to the end!!

  11. Love the story line but don’t forget to edit it. Is the new tazelwurm named Kundum or Kandum? It’s spelled both ways several times. There is also a few other areas that the words don’t seem to make sense in the sentence. But I love where you are going with this and I love these books!!!! ???

  12. What a delightful story. Goodness… I love the universe you have created for us. It is endless what you can do. Please continue. Blessings, stay safe, and healthy.

  13. Oh this sounds promising. I am really looking forward to reading the book (any book in the future) with this story tied to it. I love what Linda said above about rereading all the books whenever a new one comes out. 😀 That’s me! Only, I have the audio books too so the last couple of times I re-listened. Whatever you are working on, I know it will be worth the wait.

  14. I would continue reading this in a minute. Got me hooked from the first fur tuft seen on the butler’s coat.

  15. What an absolutely delightful new path to wander with Elizabeth, the dragons and art. Art. dance and music feed the soul, and I love to read books that explore the relationship between artists and their art. May we look forward at some point to a traveling troupe of performing dragons? Surely there is some obscure Austen character who could be developed into an appropriate creator of such a troupe. And, I like the idea of a new variety of tatzelwurm. Obviously a groupe of acrobatic kittens would bring in plenty of villagers to such a performance. I finished
    Beyond the Pale far too quickly. Definitely time for re-reads and an audio purchase.

  16. I just finished reading through your dragons series for the third time. It is a series I find I can go back to time and time again. This small scene did not disappoint. I am excited for what comes next in the series. Perhaps introductions to more Jane Austen Characters? I loved reading about Anne. There are plenty of Pride and Prejudice variations however almost no Persuasion. I truly enjoyed the continuation of their story and interactions with Elizabeth and Darcy. I would love to read about Emma and dragons or perhaps Fanny Price.
