Welcome to Polekayno Books!
But wait…what the heck is a Polekayno???
“Polekayno” was the baby word my nephew invented when he couldn’t pronounce “volcano.” His word stuck with me for weeks as I thought it so brilliant. Eventually I knew I had to honor it by including it in a story. This story became Laranelle and the Great Polekayno (within Otherworldly Fairy Tales). Later it became my fuel for writing.
Sometimes I find inspiration in the world; sometimes I find inspiration from within. It is my every wish that you can find inspiration from Polekayno Books.

The Legend of Azul ~Illustrated by J. Marie Norman~
This is a tale about one young woman’s journey of self-discovery. After her village was decimated, she ventures out to learn wisdom from the world which transforms her into the leader her people needed most. Later she expands her influence into other worlds bringing peace to many, even herself. Join in on this magical coming of age story and find that you too…can become…a dragon.
Listen In!
The Legend of Azul was my first story. When I wrote it, I was completing a business class assignment on Corporate Culture imagining everything I hoped my future company to stand for.
It came out as this fairy tale though. Learn the lessons of Azul and you too may become…a dragon.
More to Come!
