Synopsis

Dragons do not cry. They control their emotions. This is what all dragons were taught, but I am now the only one alive to remember this lesson . . .Meet Vincent, a most unusual dragon.For thousands of years he’s been trapped—forced to spend what’s left of his existence among us in the form of a human for a crime in which he was unjustly convicted. When a new love arrives unexpectedly, Vincent discovers that the only way to find happiness is to revisit his violent past and to confront his uncertain future. From a world that’s been hidden from view to a history that if acknowledged would end in torture and death, Vincent’s tale is a timeless one, both epic and intimate—as fierce as a dragon’s breath and as delicate as its tears.Haunting, heartfelt, and sometimes funny, Vincent discovers that even through tragedy, the things we most often try to avoid are those that make us human.

À propos de l?auteur

Mike Mehalek writes fast-paced lyrical books that can be enjoyed with one reading but have enough substance for re-reading. He brings stories to life that demand to be told, regardless of the hopes/dreams/fears/desires of his characters-the Story first-always the Story. And Mike's been writing these stories since his first attempt at Only Human, which he wrote as a short story in first grade under the original title "Dennis the Dinosaur." It was not until 1988, however, with his first story rejection from Highlights magazine at the age of ten that he knew he was meant to be a writer. Today, Mike's work has appeared in anthologies like Hazard Yet Forward, literary magazines, and most recently he was a contributor in the award-winning writing guide Many Genres One Craft. Oh and he's a pretty darn good sleight-of-hand magician too. Visit Mike on twitter @mikemehalek or at his blog Writing is Tricky www.mikemehalek.blogspot.com He loves to hear from fans.
