Theresa Chaze author of the book, Awakening the Dragon, Book One of the Dragon Clan Trilogy has been described as a woman who has the courage to play with dragons. She is a Wiccan Priestess and Ordained Minister. In her fantasy world, magic, suspense, and karmic justice combine in tales of horror.

Book Synopsis; To protect herself and her loved ones from the violent cult, Rachael risks everything by awakening the dragon spirit prematurely. As the dragon rises within her, the cult surround her home with the intent on killing the new witch who lives inside and burning the evidence of the murder of the previous owner.

Today, at A Pen and Fire we have the main character from Awakening the Dragon.

My name is Rachael Franklin. I moved to Coyote Springs after a lottery win gave me the means to open my Occult bookstore. I threw dart and it landed on the small Northern Michigan town. It was very close to the town where I grew up and to the dysfunctional family I had separated myself from. I tried to change the result, but the Goddess continued to direct the dart to the same destination. When my furkids and I arrived, the store location was quickly found. What I couldn’t find was a home--that is until the very proper real estate agent took me to a country cottage. It opened its doors and heart to me. Later I was to learn that it had barred entrance nearly every one but a few since the previous owner, Sara, was murdered within its walls. The agent said the cottage was cursed because Sara was a witch and the devil had come to collect her soul. Her grandson, Kevin, arrived. He angrily ordered us off the property until he realized that I was able to go inside. My first impression was that he was a spiritual man who had many secrets. But it wasn’t just his mystery that I found attractive, it was his eyes and cute behind. However, his anger and rapidly changing temperament was very confusing and frightening. Even though he was very sexually appealing, I refused to become entangled in his drama until Sara’s spirit appeared to me. She told me that she and I had long ago made an agreement to heal a karmic wound. She had done her best to prepare the way for me. Her death had been the beginning as it had been the ending before. By coming to Coyote Springs, I became the new guardian of the cottage and the catalyst of the many karmic balancing.

Theresa, your MC sounds very interesting. I have a friend who is Wiccan, but I've never learned more about it, so this book sounds like a good read for me.

Best of luck on your tour. I hope Rachel behaves herself and doesn't get tempted by anyone's cute behind.

Thank you for your comment, Cheryl!

Rachel's way of finding her new home is really kind of appealing....has anyone else wished they could just throw a dart and go?

Hi Cheryl, If you have any questions about Wicca, you are more welcome to contact me. I'll do my best to answer them. There is a great deal of information about Wicca and Paganism intertwined in the story. There are also some really good rituals that are very effective.

Cindy--Having the courage to have faith creates miracles in your life.

Thank you Melody. I'm glad you enjoy my work.

As for Rachael being tempte by a cut butt--you'll find out in the sequel, Dragon Domain--Book Two of the Dragon Clan Trilogy.

Thank you for hosting me.

I'm enjoying discovering your blog - could do with a few more pictures though!

Love to know how you make out with learning to sword fight.

Theresa, you are quite right!

Roland, thank you! I should post more pictures, you're right...and I'll keep everyone posted on the sword fighting. :)

I also like the way of choosing a place to live and the undercurrent that goes with it as well. I suspect I would enjoy your book, as mine is also suspenseful fantasy.

Another thing I appreciate is the hint at the back-story of your heroine. Some people who write fantasy create fanciful worlds but do not consider that their characters should have a history as difficult as anything that people experience "here" in the mundane world. You obviously do.

Thank you.
