A Collection Of Dragons

Dragons. Every dragon piece I’ve written to date, is in this collection—and some can only be found in this collection. Whether they’re burning towns or bringing down starships, offering shelter or indulging in politics of the state, there’s a dragon present. Sometimes it’s in the background and sometimes it’s right up front where dragons belong, but it’s there. If you love dragons as much as I do, then this collection is created with you in mind.
