John My Dragon

Anna owns a dragon! There are several stories about her and Iva Lou the dragon, one of which is a free as an eBook for a few more days. Anna is my daughter’s name and did claim to have a dragon and almost had her brother, Paul, convinced of Howllua’s existence.
I’ve taken the liberty of changing the dragon’s named to protect the innocent. I call the dragon Iva Lou after my Great Great Grandma – in- law. I stayed the night at this kind, strangely wonderful, woman’s house when she was in her nineties and I was tired. I’ve told the story before, but the night I spent with her, was on the floor just inches from a heat lamp and baby chicks. The little guys sang me to sleep and I pretended I was taking a noon time nap.
The idea of a perfect companion, in Anna’s case a dragon with the added bonus of being slightly irritating to Paul when she eats raw worms on her cookies, has materialized in my own life. John’s my perfect companion. He’s a big old macho- man but does the dishes, laundry, and shopping so I can write, AND he has an equivalence of worm eating. Cooking liver is just right as a slight irritant and gives me that opportunity to grow.
Thumbs up for John and dragons!  nancymauerman.com
