Life With a Fire-Breathing Girlfriend

A lot of guys claim to have hot girlfriends. David Fraser has one who actually breathes fire.?

Rose Drake is a Dragoness in Human form, come to Earth for three years to soak up the local energy and increase her chances of having happy, healthy, baby hatchlings when she goes home. In exchange for his time and energy, David’s body and love life both undergo extreme makeovers. It sounds like the deal of a lifetime.?

Fate doesn’t let David and Rose off so easily. A friend of theirs is murdered, their homeowner’s association starts harassing them, and they have to complete a quest for an Elven sage in order to stop a genocidal Unicorn from turning Earth into a radioactive wasteland.?

After all, when you’re dating a Dragon, you’re already a hero. It says so in the fine print.

By day, I’m a mild-mannered IT tech; by night, a writer who spends too much time in online games. I grew up reading classical authors such as Verne, Burroughs, Wells, Haggard, and Lovecraft, often in conjunc-tion with large doses of Monty Python, Wild Wild West, and Hee-Haw. My current influences include Doctor Who, Girl Genius, and An Idiot Abroad.?

I’ve enjoyed telling stories all my life, starting with short stories in grade school. In high school I discovered tabletop role-playing games, where I learned what makes a story work and how to create a living world. I began writing professionally as a member of the content design team for the MMORPG Istaria: Chronicles of the Gifted, and finally realized what I wanted to be when I grew up.?

I live in Denver with my wife, Noelle, and daughter, Alissa. The three of us can often be found prowling around Istaria, Wizard City, and the wilds of Azeroth. I also make occasional side jaunts to scavenge bits of ancient technology in the radioactive ruins of the Grand Canyon Province.
