Because Photography Isn't The Only Thing I Enjoy...

She's alive? Yes I'm alive. My computer got a little virus, hope I dont catch it! *cricket cricket* Right. Anyways, it came up with a virus and posting may be scarce. I have been pretty busy, Summer Camp, Family, Fun, Family again, and my mom's book release. *record scratches* What in the world are you talking about Iona?

Many of you may or may not know that my mom has been working on her Middle Grade novel. I am  excited to announce that on July 20th, her book is being published. It is a book for the ages 8-12. If you are older or even younger It will work amazing as a gift. The book is titled Born To Be A Dragon. Before I tell you anything more, you must know what it's about.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup...


This is what Lord Edric wants you to believe. He will do anything in his power to see that humans never come in contact with dragons again. However, he doesn't plan for Meia, the foster child who dreams of dragons, believing they are real. Or Deglan, the ten-year-old dragon who bears the ancient mark that threatens everything Lord Edric has worked for.


Join these two unlikely friends as they discover the truth behind a legend so extraordinary it will alter each of their lives... forever.


Although it's awesome that this book is being published in only a few weeks, there is also plenty of prizes you can win! Each day, starting tomorrow (July 6th) over at my mom's blog is a scavenger hunt with things that you can win!

Here is just a sneak peek of the prizes you can win.
