PICKY EATERS 1

Picky Eaters1a

This tale about family life, dragon-style, is escapist fun for adults.

Castellan the Black, now better known as Casta the Grey, has led an eventful life, but these days he’s content to live alone in his mountaintop lair, fending off occasional attacks from the food and waiting to die. At least, that’s what he tells himself.

Babysitting his young grandchildren is definitely not on his to do list. Sammy Jo doesn’t care that the world used to cower before Casta’s wrath. She doesn’t want barbecued knight in armour – it’s tinned food – and that’s that. Sadly, her little brother Billy Bob is more inclined to follow her lead than his grandfather’s, and what’s a grumpy old dragon to do with two such intransigent youngsters?

Things go from bad to worse when he wakes up from a nap to find they’ve been hunting for more appealing treats. Organic, free-range lunch was exactly what they needed, according to a very proud Sammy Jo. He’s never seen the food so upset, and now it’s coming up the hill, armed with spears and bows, hell bent on revenge.

Review of NETGALLEY arc The Conspiracies of the Empire – Book 2 in the Judge Dee Investigations series By Qiu Xiaolong

12 November

As anyone who as spent more than a couple of minutes on this blog will realise, while my go-to genres usually fall within the SFF family, when I want a bit of a break from all that futurism and magic – I turn to murder mysteries. And the quirkier the better. So this Judge Dee investigation set in China during the Tang Dynasty caught my attention – furthermore, it’s written by a Chinese author. So I was pleased when approved for this offering.
