... 'Dragons of the prime That tare each other in their slime'

I devour...historical fiction, fantasy (especially when dragons are involved), mystery, and the classics! I'm usually also reading a book on Christian living. I love to read Max Lucado and Lynn Austin (Christian fiction). I teach literature, so I also like keeping up with children's and young adult books.
