About the author

J. R. Handley is a pseudonym for a husband and wife writing team. He is a veteran infantry sergeant with the 101st Airborne Division and the 28th Infantry Division. She is the kind of crazy that interprets his insanity into cogent English. He writes the sci-fi while she proofreads it. The sergeant is a two-time combat veteran of the late unpleasantness in Mesopotamia where he was wounded. He started writing military science fiction as part of a therapy program suggested by his doctor to help with his brain injury. He found out he was actually pretty good at telling stories and hopes to entertain you as he attempts to excise his demons through these creative endeavors. In addition to being just another dysfunctional veteran, he is a stay at home husband, avid reader and all around nerd. Luckily for him, his Queen joins him in his fandom nerdalitry.

[Steve Chappell · Rating 5 out of 5]

A terrific anthology with 17 tales of dragon-filled goodness - the tales, not the dragons. Loved every story. Highly recommended.
