About the author
Ty Burson
23 books18 followersTY BURSON was born in Riverside, California. His mother and her family emigrated from Canada, while most of his father’s people hailed from Oklahoma. After completing an Associates Degree in general education, Ty joined the Air Force. Ty signed on to be a Russian Crypto-logic Linguist, went off to basic training, and eventually ended up in Monterey, California. It was there that Ty met his future wife, Kerri.
Ty finished his Bachelor’s degree before leaving the Air Force. Eventually, four kids and a couple of career changes later, Ty went back to school, got his teaching certification, joined the Air National Guard, and began teaching middle school in Florissant, Missouri.
It was at a conference for middle school teachers that Ty got the idea for a lucky dragon that protected a fishing village. A protagonist with a stutter and a demon came along much later. While the novel got shelved when Ty decided that he had to have a Doctorate in Education, it never entirely left his mind—as few wonderful ideas ever do.
Currently, Ty and his family live in Maryland, where he continues to teach after completing his Doctorate and retiring from the Air National Guard in 2011. Ty is known for entertaining his students with funny poems and stories, and for wearing bizarre, entertaining ties.

This short story was worth a look. After reading it I’ve got a bit more back ground on dragons and the history that leads into “Let Sleeping Dragons Lie”.
I wouldn’t say this story stands alone, so if you are wondering, read “Let Sleeping Dragons Lie” first. Right now, you don’t have much choice as you won’t find the directions to accessing the free download unless you read the first novel or visit the author's website: http://www.tyburson.com/
The prose of the novel is more engaging as the characters are well developed. In this story, we have a narrator that relays a series of events over time that give more meaning to the novel. It is more straight exposition than a plotted adventure, but it serves its purpose. I’m now ready to see what comes next armed with a bit more insight.
