Peter Smalley was certain of two things in life: England was full of dragons, and even very small dragons could cause very large problems. As a minor dairy farmer with rent coming due and no money to pay it, Peter had enough problems of his own to be bothered with dragons. Until a troubled dragon came looking for him. A dragon adventure fantasy set in the gaslamp regency world of the Blue Order of Jane Austen's Dragons. A delight for readers of Anne McCaffrey's The Dragon Riders of Pern and Naomi Novik's Temeraire.
Author
Six time BRAG Medallion Honoree, #1 Best-selling Historical Fantasy author Maria Grace has her PhD in Educational Psychology and is a 16-year veteran of the university classroom where she taught courses in human growth and development, learning, test development and counseling. None of which have anything to do with her undergraduate studies in economics/sociology/managerial studies/behavior sciences. She pretends to be a mild-mannered writer/cat-lady, but most of her vacations require helmets and waivers or historical costumes, usually not at the same time. She stumbled into Jane Austen fan-dom in the mid '90s with Emma Thompson's Sense and Sensibility film, having somehow graduated HS without ever having read Austen. It was only a short leap then to consume all of Austen's works, in all their various media forms. In the hopes of discovering more works by Austen, she stumbled into the fan fiction forums, which naturally led to asking 'What if...' herself. Twenty nine books later, she still asks that question. She writes gaslamp fantasy, historical romance and non-fiction to help justify her research addiction.
