So this is probably impossible from the the amount of information I have. My mother has been looking, well not looking talking to me trying to get me to look for, a series of books.
She has no author, nor does she have a title. When asked what information she does have, this is what I am given:
The series is 7 books long.
It is full of dragons and faeries and all sort of the same
It is not set on earth, but the characters find a "rift" / "black hole" kind of thing and are sent to some place resembling Japan.
This is all the information I have been given. It is all that she can remember. She has talked about it for years and I figured that with so many readers around here someone might have a small idea of what this book series is. Again, sorry for the lack of information.
Seed
@Seed,
Seed, this might be the books for which you are searching.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enchanted_Forest_Chronicles
@Letty,
Not quite it. She says that it is close but not it.
It is a series of 7 books not 4.
She remembered more though:
A wizard, may or may not have been Merlin.
An apprentice, who she remembers practicing by a pond or a lake.
A dragon with a sword. The dragon or the sword was encrusted with jewels
@Seed,
Could it be The Martian Chronicles, Seed?
@Letty,
No, she doesn't think that is it either. She said she found the series around 1986. And something about the Castle being on a cliff and not attack able from that side.
@Seed,
how old is the series?
were there seven books when she read them and there might be more now?
@djjd62,
She read them around 1986

I have found many books on this site.
See if maybe it refers to a series of novels by Anne McCaffrey about the dragon riders of Pern. The story is that a colonizing expedition heads out, lands on this planet, and then gets cut off from the home civilization. I won't tell you the rest because it would spoil the story. Even if this is not the one, i found the stories and novels highly entertaining, so you might want to check it out. Go to the library and do a search by the author's name.
