title: The Jaybird's Nest and other stories
author:  Jill Domschot 
description: Jill Domschot is the author of the urban fantasy, Anna and the Dragon. She also writes science fiction, odd short stories, and philosophical memoirs. Most of her current writing has been in one way or another inspired by accordion music and the really long 18th C. When I say really long, I mean it keeps stretching from Cervantes all the way to an unfixed point in the 19th C. You can find more about Jill at her blog, jilldomschot.com.
