Dragon (Tales of Graeffenland Book 1)

A dark fable, that begins with Adan and Garim, two apprentice Mages, on the old isle of Graeffenland. A strange land of hidden dangers, and unseen menaces. A land of magick, that ordinary people do not see, a land of creatures, invisible, and ignored. Leaving their studies, that seem to primarily be concerned with farming, and the copying of tomes, the two young men strike out to see what fortunes await them in the wider world. Many adventures befall them as they journey towards their destinies, and their actions may bring forth the doom of the world........

From the Inside Flap

Read on only if you wish to read a dark fable, a cross between Dungeons and Dragons, HP Lovecraft, and Grimms Fairy Tales.Take care, for beyond this point, Here Be Dragons!

About the Author

Hello ! Thank you for stopping by to read this. I am still on a bit of an ecstatic buzz. People sometimes say Self Publishing, is a dead end, but I would say, no. For me, it has been a bit of a life saver, and indeed, a source of the greatest joy and satisfaction.For me, it isn't about money or making sales, the greatest joy is seeing my work in print upon my bookshelf, next to the Authors I love, such as HP Lovecraft, Fritz Leiber, RE Howard, Terry Practchett, to name a few. I am certainly not claiming to be in their league, but for me, more than any educational qualification, or pile of gold, the idea of being a published Author has been like the Holy Grail.To top it off, I recently reached number one (8th October 2016) as a free download in the Dystopian section!I never imagined such a thing to be possible. My first book was also hand picked by Book Hippo, as a featured Author!These are things I could have never dreamed possible, and I thank Amazon, Createspace, and so on, for the wonderful opportunity they have provided to people like myself, to pass some of the Gate Keepers of this world, and have a chance to be seen and read, by the reading public.And to think I nearly never even tried.I started off, writing my first novel, as a challenge. I had just gone through the process of applying for a job, in which, on line, I was asked to say why I was the perfect fit, in 20,000 words or less. On mentioning this to a friend, also online, she suggested I write a book. Six novels later, and almost 400,000 words, I kind of feel grateful to that Job advert, for the motivation, and a new and interesting hobby.Anyway, if you're keen, dive in while it's on sale at $0.99/£0.99 or local equivalent.If you enjoy Dragon, why not give A King in Graeffenland a try?If you're a reader, you are living in a Golden Age of free, nearly free, and highly portable libraries. So tuck in.
