When I wrote the first book in my Dragon Investigators series, the subject of the moon came up—at least for the hero. The moon plays a part in the hero’s life that creates huge problems. A blue moon doubles the stress. It seemed obvious, then, for me to use the moon in the title, and I named my book BLUE MOON DRAGON.
So what exactly is a blue moon?
There are several definitions.
1. When the moon is blue in color, which is very rare, it is often due to dust or smoke in the sky.
2. If there are two full moons in a particular month, this is called a blue moon. The next one is due on Jan 31 2018.
3. Each season has three full moons, but when there is an additional fourth moon, the third of the full moons is known as a blue moon.
Definition 2 is the one that most people refer to when they speak of a blue moon.
