About the author
E.B. Dawson
36 books145 followersI grew up in Southeast Asia. My first experience with America was when I was six years old. Sometimes I amuse my friends by telling them stories of my first impressions of this country (clean bathrooms, Toy Story, Taco Bell, getting lost in department stores).
My family moved to California when I was eleven and completely changed the course of my life. On the outside I'm a well-adjusted American adult, but in all honesty some days I still wake up to the sound of the grass being cut by machetes.
I have traveled a fair amount and lived in four separate countries. I see the world very differently from most people that I know. And because I am an analytical introvert I try to understand everything in my life. I pour this into my writing.
Everything I write is deeply personal to me. People who know me well recognize the shadows of people I've met, experiences I've had, and emotions I've walked through in my writing. My goal is not just to entertain and explore imaginary worlds, but to take the reader on a journey that explores difficult questions and instills some sort of hope.

My favorite of the Lost Empire short stories so far. Heart rending and beautiful.

Agatha tells the story of a woman who had everything she ever wanted, until she gave it up to marry the man she loved. Some might call that clichè, but it’s a plot device I enjoy, when it’s done well. Unfortunately, like with Rodge, I had a hard time connecting with Agatha. I think part of it was due to the fact that I couldn’t remember who she was from The Traveler (or is she yet to be introduced?), but I had no frame of reference for looking at her story.
Still, Agatha was very well written, with a clearly-defined plot. A good short story in all, but not my favorite of Dawson’s works.
