FANTASY BOOK REVIEW ~ Reading Lucinda Hare’s debut novel The Dragon Whisperer, Book 1 of the Dragonsdome Chronicles, is like riding a dragon. You have to hold on tight during the twist and turns, take time to stop and enjoy the breathtaking view, prepare yourself for the sudden lows, enjoy the soaring heights and make sure you’re not on the wrong end of that fiery breath!

A tale hatched from Hare’s real-life experiences and devotion to all kinds of animals, The Dragon Whisperer follows Earl’s daughter (and dragon whisperer), eleven year old Quenelda. Her best friend is a battle-dragon with the comically cautionary name of Two Gulps and You’re Gone, who she can command through thought alone. Hare offers a headstrong heroine in Quenelda that chooses dragons over dresses, battles over boys and ultimately dreams of joining her father’s side as a warrior in the Stealth Dragon Services.

Don’t be fooled though… just because Hare has chosen a young girl as her protagonist doesn’t mean she has written a book solely for that gender. Yes, the tale flies in the face of books such as Harry Potter and Artimis Fowl that have strong male protagonists, but The Dragon Whisperer contains enough dark magic, fierce battle dragons, and slimy hobgoblins to appeal to young boys.

Regardless of gender, readers will root for the underdog (a young gnome named Root) and wish they had their very own dragon. On the surface, Hare describes the relationship been Quenelda and Two Gulps like that between horse and rider, but the dragons are given such a depth of history and behaviours, that after the book is shut, the reader half expects to see these beasts lurking in local paddocks.

The one letdown of Hare’s work, is that, in marketing it towards children, adults might see it as ‘just another children’s book’ and pass it over. The back cover boasts a ‘9+’ age rating and I urge anyone nine or over to snap this read up. Verdict? A battle-dragon of a book!

Ken Dickson Fights for the Right to Bear Arms

Ken Dickson details his traumatic struggle to reinstate the loss of his Right to Bear Arms.

Aim for Justice by Ken Dickson

Ken DicksonIn this age of mass-shootings and concern about the role of the mentally ill in them, Aim for Justice provides a unique glimpse into an issue of great importance to all Americans—our Constitutional right to bear arms.

In this fast-paced, emotionally taut, and inspiring true story, the author relates his struggles after an unplanned surgery and inexcusable treatment by medical and mental health professionals land him in a high-security psych ward, stripped of his right to bear arms.

Despite his traumatic ordeal, he fights back to normalcy and then takes aim at the impossible: reinstating his Second Amendment right and clearing his mental health record.

While illustrating the tenacity and resilience of the human spirit, Aim for Justice reminds us that we cannot take our rights for granted—we must be ever vigilant of the forces in our society and the world that seek to erode our freedom.

About the author, Ken Dickson:

Ken Dickson

Ken Dickson lives in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife Beth and a motley crew of pets. He is a Principal Engineer at a major electronics manufacturer; however, after surgery and medications left him mentally ill and landed him in a high-security psychiatric ward, he felt strongly compelled to prevent the same thing from happening to others. Subsequently, he embarked upon a second career as a writer and published his first book, Detour from Normal, in 2013.

While an editor reviewed the first draft of Detour from Normal (initially fiction), Ken’s creative energy continued. Over the following ten days, he wrote two hundred pages of a sequel. Later, when he met with the editor, she convinced him to re-write Detour from Normal as a memoir.

On April 30, 2018, Ken published his third book, a memoir entitled Aim for Justice that details the loss of his Right to Bear Arms due to mental illness and his fight to regain it. Half the size of his other books, Aim for Justice is intentionally fast-paced, down-to-earth, and lacking in fluff, making it ideal for readers with limited time who long for an engaging read.
