An excerpt from A Gateway to Dragons
A Secret Very Well Kept
Much to his surprise, Rick was indeed able to roll the big shelf to the side using only one hand.
And his jaw dropped at what he saw behind it.
The space wasn't huge, nowhere near as big as Memaw's library. If Rick didn't know this was the same level, he would have thought he was looking into someone's stone-lined basement.
But he'd never seen a basement where the gray stone walls glowed in violet streaks that gathered together in a pool spreading over the smooth dirt floor. Or one shaped like an oval, with the walls rounded toward the invisible ceiling.
Piles of what he thought were ordinary rocks had been stacked along the edges, with a much bigger pile along the far end of the oval.
And in a depression in the middle of that pile rested two creatures he thought were huge lizards at first. Curled up together so he couldn't tell, but they seemed to be almost as long as he was tall.

About Kari Kilgore
Kari Kilgore started her first published novel Until Death in Transylvania, Romania, and finished it in Room 217 at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado, where Stephen King got the idea for The Shining. That’s just one example of how real world inspiration drives her fiction.
Kari’s first published novel Until Death was included on the Preliminary Ballot for the Bram Stoker Award for Outstanding Achievement in a First Novel in 2016. It was also a finalist for the Golden Stake Award at the Vampire Arts Festival in 2018.
Recent professional short story sales include three to Fiction River anthology magazine, with the first due out in the September issue. Kari also has two stories in a holiday-themed anthology project with Kristine Kathryn Rusch due out over the holidays in 2019.
Kari writes fantasy, science fiction, horror, and contemporary fiction, and she’s happiest when she surprises herself. She lives at the end of a long dirt road in the middle of the woods with her husband Jason Adams, various house critters, and wildlife they’re better off not knowing more about.
Kari’s novels, novellas, and short stories are available at www.spiralpublishing.net, which also publishes books by Frank Kilgore and Jason Adams.
