For all of you who have been patiently waiting for my eighth book, which is the fifth novel in The Sword of the Dragon series, I thought I would give you a fun preview. How about a listing of the first few chapters? This novel is now over 13,000-words in!
I am not really an outline writer, but sometimes my chapter headings end up looking like an outline. So here’s a list of the first few chapters that I managed to carve out of an ancient monolith on the world of Osira.

I love having chapter titles in books. I always read over the chapter titles before diving into the story. For me, it sparks greater interest in what is to come. Thanks for sharing!
