About the Book
Charles, a lonely young outcast with an ugly scar and ungainly wings for a dragon, perched on the castle wall and listened to stories. The boy inside that castle window befriended him, and the two grew together to become kings of their peoples. Book One, "Charles, A Dragon," and Book Two, "The King Arrives," tell their stories. Now, in Book Three, "Diamonds and Dragons," their kingdoms are under attack by nations far over the eastern mountains, for unknown reasons.
Available as a beautiful paperback version in the usual places! Look for ISBN 978-1-937975-27-2. The foreboding castle on the cover is Slains Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, photographed in 2017 by Pat Ware.
About the Author

Also from a Christian viewpoint, "To Reign For A Thousand Years" offers a fictional exploration of what comes next, framed around some events described in the book of Revelation.
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.

Click on the book cover below and look for the "Free to Read Online" button. The table of contents will be on your left.
