Fi rst Pag e: Dragon Coast Critics described ‘Dragon Coast’ as “a vibrant, young company whose flamboyant style in garment design had already won the minds of the rich and famous”. Jessica saw the description and dismissed it with a snort. Dragon Coast had at least won those minds for now, she’d thought. And if it hadn’t won their minds, someone was paying them an awful lot of money...

‘Dragon Coast’ is a short piece of speculative, near-future paranormal fiction. It was written way back in 1994 for a local library competition. It starts like this: Critics described ‘Dragon Coast’ as “a vibrant, young company whose flamboyant style in garment design had already won the minds of the rich and famous”.

Okay, I was going to spam you with a release post for each book, but I decided not to. So... An Anthology of Dragons has been released on both Kindle and in all formats on Smashwords. In addition to the anthology, I have released each individual story and poem so that readers who are only interested in one piece do not need to buy the whole anthology. However, if you're interested in all the pieces, then it is much cheaper to buy them in the anthology than separately. The covers of stories included in an anthology take one picture from the anthology cover to indicate the link, and clearly state that the story or poem has been included in an anthology. Happy reading everyone :-)

After much debate, I have decided to individually release all the work included in An Anthology of Dragons . This will increase my visibility at various sale points, as well as give my readers a choice of buying the anthology at $2.99 or each individual piece at $0.99-$1.49, depending on length. The blurb and the cover of each individual piece will clearly state that it can be found in An Anthology of Dragons , and the blurb will let readers know that it is cheaper to purchase the collected pieces as an anthology than to purchase each story or poem individually. I decided not to do a great variety of covers here, but to use one simple cover-type to tie each piece to the Anthology so that readers can see which stories and poems have been grouped together and where. This is what the individual stories look like when grouped together: And this is what the anthology looks like on its own: I will keep you updated as each individual story is released.

Dragon Coast has now been uploaded to Amazon Kindle and is awaiting release.
