About the Book
A lonely boy tells stories to the creatures in the forest, and yearns for adventure. A lonely dragon hides outside his window to listen.
Neither of them knows his true identity. Neither suspects his destiny or the battles ahead.
Come meet the boy, the dragon, two kings, evil warlords, a good sorceror, a traitor, more dragons, the spy with the cherry-filled pastries, and a dog who saves a castle!
Amazon carries the beautifully printed version here, with the cover painting by graphic artist and teacher Veranne Graham.
About the Author

A new set of characters have arrived, Mac & Jennie -- taking on the bad guys with a light touch and plenty of humor, in what you might call light-hearted thrillers.
A new series introduces Lia and her father Harlan, seeking -- and by the end, finding -- a surprising new home.
