Dragons Bones


My dad used to tell us kids stories of dragons and knights, aliens and spaceships, and everything in between. He has been writing a book for many many years about a boy named Warrick who finds out that his father was once a warrior who fought dragons. The tale centers around a mountain that looks like the spine of a long dead dragon strewn across its raggedy tops. He finished the book, titled The Dragon's Bones, and started on the sequel. Last year for his birthday our family put together a Knight's Round Table birthday party where we presented a printed and bound copy of his first book. Since then he has spent many hours re-editing and scheming. Now he has a project to make this book a reality.
I am so inspired by his passion for this project! It is something that has taken more than two decades to evolve. And it has become an outlet for creativity, family bonding, and really happy memories.
I'll keep the progress of his book updated on this blog because really, you'll want to read it!
