a short CLOAK OF DRAGONS excerpt
A short excerpt from CLOAK OF DRAGONS:
“He said they were sending a specialist,” said Dr. Morgan. “You don’t look like a specialist in murder.”
“I’m more of a generalist,” I said. “What do I look like?”
He grunted. “Biker chick with crazy eyes.”
“Aw, that’s so sweet. It’s the jacket, isn’t it?” I said. “But I’m not here for amusing banter.”

Why can I not give you money for this book yet JM? I really want to you know…..
You now have my money, I now have your book. I think I got the better end of the deal….
Thanks! Hope you enjoy Nadia’s latest bad day. 🙂
*SPOILER*
Ohhhhhh dual POV’s. I commend you sir for not using dual 1st person POV’s. That’s the second most annoying thing an author can do as far as writing styles is concerned after MULTIPLE 1st person POV’s.
It was a riot BTW. You had your main character ride through the middle of downtown Manhattan on the back of a dragon…..that might be the most original thing I’ve read in a while. You’ve also opened yet more crazy doors here. The infinite realms of potential shadowlands invasions not enough, you went for the home grown threats?
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed it. The idea for the book came because people kept asking why technology hadn’t advanced in the 300 years since the Conquest.
I went with the dual POV because Nadia is intelligent but not very curious. If something isn’t shooting at her or doesn’t affect her, she doesn’t care about it at all. So that can be a challenge for worldbuilding. Part of the reason I did CLOAK & GHOST was to practice dual 1st person/3rd person POVs because I hadn’t done that before.
