Or here’s a few extracts:

…And there’s no need for today’s adventure-seekers to traverse dark cavernous lairs in search of these mythical beasts.

A dragon certainly brings drama and danger to a story. It brings magic and mystery and exoticism, lifting us out of our own humdrum lives with the merest flick of its tail and its first fiery roar.

A dragon can be a powerful signifier of genre, an instantly recognizable symbol of the fantasy world, but precisely because it belongs to imaginary worlds beyond ours, there are no limits on its potential characteristics: big, small, horned, multi-headed (multi-tailed even), good, bad, wild, tamed, funny, protagonist, antagonist… the list goes on.

Dragon Girl and the Awakened Flames is still available to pre-order and will be on sale from Thursday!
