She was raised by her aunts instead of her mother because she needed to be prepared to fulfill the prophecies of the Old Scriptures, which told that she was the only Magician on Earth. Her aunts carefully prepared her for her obligations and her sacred duty. She will have to get married to the Holy Golden Dragon, the King of the Dragons, a huge Earth Dragon with magical talents. She cannot believe that she is the “Chosen One”, who has to protect the Dragon Species, all of Nature and finally the Earth. But when she turned into a teenager it seemed that the Old Scriptures were right. Not only does she have to fulfill her duty by getting married to the Dragon – she will also have to go on a deadly mission to save the world from an unspeakable evil. A mission there is very little hope her party will ever return from.

The plot is full of events, from the exciting to the touching to the romantic to the tragic, and along the way we meet some memorable characters. Nevertheless, the author does not shrink from including some contemporary social commentary. One of the best aspects, however, is the lovely descriptive prose, particularly of the differences between the types of dragons and their home in the mountains.

Season of mists

 and to judge by these prize blackberries, mellow fruitfulness, too! We have a freezer full of blackberries - now, jam? Jelly? Wine? Hunting cup? or a long winter of weekly apple and blackberry crumble?

Thanks to everyone who supported the launch party and the blog tour for The Tender Herb! I enjoyed it and I hope all of you did, too. Now we're on to the next one, Death of an Officer's Lady, which I hope to have out for the anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo next June, but already I'm half a chapter behind - September is just so busy.

I've been working on clearing some land, intending to give up Allotment B of which I've never been particularly fond, to concentrate on Allotment A, which I love. Voles and frogs hide in the undergrowth and buzzards and red kites swoop overhead - could these be connected in any way?

A red squirrel fell on to our roof the other day, alive and running, possibly dropped by a passing and rather disappointed buzzard. Another theory, postulated by Euan McIlwraith on Radio Scotland's outdoors programme, is that Scottish Natural Heritage are now repopulating the area by airdropping red squirrels!

Pumpkins have done well this year, potatoes blighted but edible (but won't keep so every meal has to involve at least one potato), but what happened my onions???

I'm hoping to see Ann Cleeves this coming Friday - she's speaking with Professor James Grieve, a forensic scientist, at Aberdeen's TechFest. I hope I shall manage not to gabble if I get the chance to tell her how much I like her Shetland series!
