The Back Story

For years, I’ve had readers begging for a book about the species of dragons I’ve invented for the Dragon Defence League series. It wasn’t until I teamed up with the amazing illustrator, Lily Duval, that I was able to make that book a reality. Lily shared my geeky enthusiasm for the biology and ecology of these mythical creatures, adapted to unique New Zealand habitats.
