Читать книгу Dragon Actually - G.A. Aiken - Страница 5

Dear Reader:

Just admit it. You’ve wondered what it would be like to have a boyfriend with wings and scales…and a tail. You’ve wondered what it would be like to walk through the mall and have people move out of your way because they don’t want to anger “the dragon’s wench.” Or maybe you’ve even wondered what it would be like to pick your fangs with your very own talons.

Okay, fine. Don’t admit it. But I will.

Since I can remember, I’ve wondered what it would be like to be part of the dragon universe. Not only from the human perspective but from the dragon’s. And what started as a short story has turned into the dragon world I’ve always dreamed about.

The first story, Dragon Actually, was originally e-published in 2004 (and titled To Challenge a Dragon) and is about my very handsome Fearghus the Destroyer. A black dragon who likes being alone in his cave and has no desire to change that. Until Annwyl the Bloody drops into his life.

And while I was writing Fearghus’s story, more and more of his family kept appearing, including his lovely parents. This led to the second story, Chains & Flames. A fun little tale about dragons in love…with some chains…and lots of flames. Originally Chains & Flames was created for my newsletter, but I’m so excited to have it included with Fearghus’s story.

So welcome to the world I’ve created of handsome warrior dragons and the bloodthirsty females who love them.

Enjoy.
