Anthony A. Kerr:
What is the inspiration behind The Dragon Rustlers? Do you have a finalized release date for the next book in the series?
Anthony A. Kerr
The next book, "The Dragon Riders", will be out in late summer or early fall of 2016.
"The Dragon Rustler" was inspired by a co-worker who was looking at a stack of books about East / West business relationships titled "Cowboys and Dragons: Shattering cultural myths to advance Chinese/American Business" by Charles Lee, and he said, "Man. If someone wrote a kids book about cowboys and dragons, they would sell a million copies." I went back to my desk and started thinking about what kind of story that would be, and the image of a certain female character being saved by a certain dragon character, that ultimately kicks off the climax scene, popped into my mind.
