Extract from the second novel in the Talon series:

Extract from the second novel in the Talon series:

Aikon jumped out of bed and hugged her then lay down again, pulling his blanket over his head. Slowly, ever so slowly he pulled down his blanket until his black, mussed up hair appeared, then his forehead, then his wide-open brown and grinning eyes emerged. Matica watched his act until he stopped pulling.
Propping up on one elbow, he said, ‘Did y...
ou dream about flying on Talon? Real flying? Like flying high over the trees and over the mountains?’
Matica nodded.
‘Really, really flying, then?’
‘Oh, yeah!’ Her face lit up like a hundred watt light bulb. ‘Oh, yeah!’
Excited now, he sat up, his feet touching the ground. ‘Didn’t I tell you last night: sweet flying dreams?’
‘Yes, you did,’ she said, rolling her eyes joyfully, then she bent over and kissed his cheek. ‘Thanks for telling me that. It worked.’
As Aikon waited for her to tell him about her dream, she threw herself with spread-out arms on her bed. A triumphant grin played around her lips. ‘Humph.’
‘Is that all I’m getting? Humph? No more?’ Aikon was visibly disappointed.

Talon is flying high up the Andean mountains


Quote in amazon.com on my author page

I found this on my author page in amazon. I quote:

"Read this outstanding YA novel and go up in the sky with Talon and Matica and see the wonders of the world along with them when you fly on his wings too. ”

Extract from the first novel in the Talon series, the last chapter:

Aikon shrugged. Matica looked from one to the other. ‘But don’t you see?’
Everybody shook their heads. ‘No,’ Mira said, ‘we don’t see, and we don’t know what you mean. What’s this all about?’
‘My advantage, of course!’ Matica paused, let-ting it sink into their heads.
Mira’s eyes went wide then she knocked at her forehead. ‘Of co...
urse.’
‘Finally,’ Matica went on, ‘finally I know and understand why I’m so small. It all has a purpose, right? You told me that, and you also told me that I would find an advantage in being so small. Now I have found it. Even a b-i-i-i-g one, the biggest ever. If I had been as tall as I should be for my age, I could never have flown on Talon, right?’
Mira put her hands on both of Matica’s shoul-ders then hugged her. ‘I didn’t realise that,’ she said. ‘Yes, I always said there would be a good reason for you being so small. It wasn’t even that long ago that I said it to you again.’
‘Thank you, Lord,’ Matica said. ‘The Indians can’t tease me any longer. They have to see that I’m special, because no one else can fly on a condor.’
Lifting her chin, Matica showed two rows of white teeth and her eyes sparkled like green fire.
‘But Matica,’ her mother said, ‘I thought the Indians weren’t teasing you any more because of Talon. You even talk to them now.’
‘Yeah, that’s true. Since Talon, they have accepted me, but now they will think I’m special too, right?’
 

Talon, the biggest land flying bird

Remember, a condor like Talon is the biggest land flying bird. And Talon knows it and is proud of himself

Extract from the 2. novel in the Talon series:

Matica stood up and ran into her room on the verge of tears and threw herself on her bed, burrowing her face into her pillow so as not to cry out loud. Why doesn’t Mum like it? She must see that it is for me. She punched her pillow. But when she heard loud murmuring from next door, she turned her head to the door, pricking up her ears to see if she c...
ould make out what was being talked about. It was her father’s voice, presumable talking to her mother. Could he convince her? Was there a small change that could make her mother give up her defensive-ness and would she let her daughter fly? But they talked too quietly. She couldn’t understand what they were talking about, but she was sure it was about her flying on Talon.
Matica sat up and wiped her face with the back of her hand when Aikon slipped into the room to dress. Matica dressed as well and whispered to her brother, pointing with her chin, ‘What’s happening over there?’
He shrugged his shoulders, then rolled his eyes and whispered, ‘Mum.’
‘What do you mean by that? She doesn’t want me to fly on Talon. Is that it?’
