That Dragon Gonna Blow: Magic and Mayhem Universe — Julia Mills

The Dragons have come to Tallulu Parish, and The Swamp will never be the same!If one more person says I'm old enough to know better, I swear to the Great Goddess' green go-go boots I'm gonna get feathery and peck 'em where the sun don't shine.Yes, I'm a Crane Shifter who is three days older than dirt.Yes, I'm blessed not only to be dual-natured but also to be a Witch twice removed on my father's side.And yes, I did just relocate from NYC to Tallulu Parish in the hopes of being semi-retired.But I ask you – is that any reason not to kick up my heels and have some fun? Aren't I allowed to make a few questionable decisions?I mean, come on. I have all my real teeth, still know my way home, and can drink a shipload of sailors under the table without breakin' a sweat. What's an ancient Dragon tied up in the root cellar of the remodeled mansion I just moved into got to do with the price of eggs in Hooter's Hollow?All I know for sure is that if Clem and that crazy Flock of hers get wind of my latest exploits, I'm sure I'll be tied up in a designer straitjacket faster and hauled off the Bailmore Hall faster than you can say –'Holy Crap, Cora C. Crankenbush looks good for her age.'So, it's off to the basement to see if that blasted man is awake yet so I can figure out who the H-E-double-hockey-sticks he is.Buckle up, Buttercups!Feathers gonna fly, scales gonna shimmer, and heaven better help us all, 'cause I know for sure –That Dragon Gonna Blow.
