There Are Worse Things Than Dragons

The Dragon Slayer’s Son

The Dragon Slayer’s Son

They said Dad was a dragon slayer. They were wrong.

When Nathan’s dad goes missing, presumed dead, Nathan is whisked away to the Alexandra School of Heroic Arts to train as his replacement. At school, he and his new friends soon learn:

Dragons are not the worst monsters out there.

And Nathan’s dad might not be dead … yet.

Book 1 of the Dragon Defence League series–dragon filled adventure in modern day New Zealand. If you like adventure with a dose of fantasy, this is the book for you!

I haven't seen my son this excited about a book since Harry Potter!

The Back Story

If dragons were ever real, and if they still existed today, they would most likely be hanging out in New Zealand. Our dense forest and stunning mountains are the perfect place for these giant mythical beasts to thrive unnoticed by people.

I am an entomologist and educator by training, but have never been able to control my writing habit. I’ve been publishing my writing since I was nine years old and have been known to answer exam questions in verse. Unlike my exam answers, which were met with awkward silence by my Very Serious Professors, my stories have won multiple awards.

My fantasy books for children include the Dragon Defence League series and other books infested by unusual animals. For teens I’ve written the epic fantasy series, Fatecarver. I’ve also published three fantasy novels for adults, two non-fiction books about insects and a book of poetry.

I have lived in the United States and Panama, but now call Aotearoa New Zealand home. When I’m not writing or at my day job, I can be found in the garden or the mountains.
