Lucia the not so Ordinary Vampire: The Tale of the Dragon's Egg

by Chris Brown

Lucia discovers evidence that dragons may not be as extinct as historians and scholars would have people believe, and so sets out to prove them wrong. When she discovers a preserved egg high in the mountains, she returns home with her evidence to prove the point. The only trouble with bringing back such a coveted prize is there are others in seats of office that have the power to confiscate it without having to offer an explanation. What follows are an unfortunate chain of events that sees Lucia forced from her home, find new friends, as well as develop a conscience regarding the fate of the egg. But will her plans prove to be all too late as the real egg’s owner turns up so as to reclaim that which had been stolen? The Tale of the Dragon’s Egg is Lucia’s first adventure as she sets out on her adventures as a not so ordinary Vampire.

About the author

Son to a Green Howard, Chris came to live in Richmond, in 1988 with his family when his father was posted to Catterick Garrison. Now, at the age of 40 he is still there with a family of his own, wife Emma and two children Kerris and Dexter.

From school he left to join a fire prevention company which now operate from Gallowfields Trading Estate and has worked his way up from trainee engineer to his current position of Design/Projects Manager.

With a love of poetry Chris has had several pieces published in anthologies produced by Forward Press and United Press, along with a collaboration of poetry self-published through Amazon, along with an anthology put together for the charity Bliss.

With a growing online fan base via social media, Chris opted to turn his attention to creative writing following a stroke in November of 2012, finding the process offering an escape from the stress of work and life in general.

With support from family and friends his short novella “One man to Love, One man to Live” was accepted for publication through Chiado Publishing and was released in August 2013.

Chris, is easily identifiable around Richmond with his long hair, tattoos and love of Heavy Metal, so it was interesting to see his first venture into novel writing was that commonly referred to as ‘Chick Lit’. When questioned he cited his secret love for Bridget Jones as being his inspiration.
