So yesterday I had to haul Ben in to the vet. I knelt next to the bed and peered under it. A grumpy Ben peered back. "C’mon out, big guy," I said. Ben stared at me. What was I, nuts? There were ninjas out there! And that awful little black cat that was worse than a ninja! Don’t be fooled. The pudge […]

Site Update!

Yay! If you head on over to www.ursulavernon.com you will see a slew of new updates, including information on ordering the game "Black Sheep" preordering the audiobook of Nurk and–most and absolutely exciting of all–drum-roll please– Pre-orders for Dragonbreath!

There are no injuries that anyone can find, and the patch that he had licked raw […]

My editor finally asked when they’d get the first draft of Dragonbreath 2, so I’ve been writing furiously on it all day. I think I agreed to much too short a deadline. (First draft by mid-January! Me, delusional? Naaaah…) On the other hand, I did finally get to the point where I get to use the best line […]
