Vampires, Demons, and “Dragon Blood,” oh my
November 17, 2010 | Leave a Comment
. Every morning I have been working on my newest project, “The Encyclopedia of Demonic Lore” for McFarland, working on the rewrite and formatting the bibliography. In the afternoon and evening I drive to a sound studio down the I-10 in LA to work on an audio book for Buzzy Multimedia. The book is Patricia Briggs’ “Dragon Blood,” and the talent reading it is Joe Manganiello, who also read the first book in the series, “Dragon Bones.” Joe is a natural talent at this and is making great time.
