A Dragon’s Only Wish
An enchanting story filled with romance, dragons, curses, misadventures and humor!
This is a story that’s alive with romance, dragons, curses, and humor. It’s a tale that takes place in both the dragon world and the human world. Sometimes, the two worlds connect in ways that put aside reality long enough to give magic a chance. Perhaps, in Harold and Shirley’s case, dragons and curses can lead the way to the enchanted dreams usually found in fairy tales. And maybe a dragon named Kargon can get the wish he’s longed for. Available on Amazon.
