Anne McCaffrey's Pern. I would bond a dragon hatchling soulmate and together we would soar across the sky.

Surviving childhood in a household where my sister's life was taken via Munchausen by Proxy, and the world of adults who turned a blind eye.
Surviving and escaping from a violent sociopath husband, without assistance.
Good plots, but I refuse to sensationalize either circumstance by writing about them.
I can't understand people who insist that I *should* write these stories. They would subject me to reliving them for the years it takes to write such books. Those "should-ers" can go should in their own corner...

I'm working on a re-write of my steampunk novel, "The Delta Pearl." As part of that re-write, I'm posting chapters on my blog, www.teagansbooks.com.
Also I'm working on an urban fantasy set in 1964. It's very quirky.

At an extremely challenging time in my life "Thistledown - Midsummer Bedlam" (written in 2017 but released in 2019) did not take me to a world where I would escape. Rather, it tied me to the darkness of that time and place. It seems like an odd thing to say about a tale of faeries, doesn’t it?
That's part of why I say it is a tale of faeries written for grownups. I think adults will feel and relate to the undercurrent of the story.
