THE LAST DRAGON HOUSE is an Indies Introduce pick! I've been an indie bookseller myself for six years, and though most of my professional life is now devoted to writing, I still consider the bookselling world a home. So I could not be more thrilled or honored, truly. www.bookweb.org/indies-intro...
The title "Middle Grade" above the cover for THE LAST DRAGON HOUSE, followed by three blurbs: “A fast-paced spellbinding middle grade fantasy that will have you laughing out loud. This is bound to be a cult classic!” —Elisa McIntosh, The Bookstore Plus, Lake Placid, NY “The Last Dragon House is the perfect summer book for a middle grade reader! It’s full of humor, adventure, and of course, dragons! Olly is an 11-year-old boy living in a kingdom where sometimes kids have to get jobs to help their families to have enough food. When Olly finds a job at a secret house filled with dragons that aren’t supposed to exist, he discovers a magical world where he might just be able to make things better if he can make sure his new mentor doesn’t fall victim to her many enemies. You won’t be able to put this book down once you pick it up!” —Fisher Nash, Carmichael’s Bookstore, Louisville, KY “A joy to read right from the start! The Last Dragon House has a plethora of delightful characters, including the dragons, and you'll be rooting for the Dragon House the whole time.” —Sydne Conant, Ink Cap Books, Stoughton, WI

Me when I'm just a little guy

one of my favorite/least favorite things is when I’m listen to If Books Could Kill while working and the subject of the episode comes up in my buying list, thus forcing me to acknowledge how well it’s selling
