The Buttercross Dragon: Jane Austen's Dragons

By Maria Grace

Peter Smalley was certain of two things in life: England was full of dragons, and even very small dragons could cause very large problems.

 

As a minor dairy farmer with rent coming due and no money to pay it, Peter had enough problems of his own to be bothered with dragons.

Until a troubled dragon came looking for him.  

 

A dragon adventure fantasy set in the gaslamp regency world of the Blue Order and Jane Austen's Dragons.

A delight for fans of Anne McCaffrey's The Dragon Riders of Pern and Naomi Novik's Temeraire

Maria Grace

Though Maria Grace has been writing fiction since she was ten years old, those early efforts happily reside in a file drawer and are unlikely to see the light of day again, for which many are grateful. After penning five file-drawer novels in high school, she took a break from writing to pursue college and earn her doctorate in Educational Psychology. After 16 years of university teaching, she returned to her first love, fiction writing.   She has one husband, two graduate degrees and two black belts, three sons, four undergraduate majors, five nieces, six more novels in draft form, waiting for editing, seven published novels, sewn eight Regency era costumes, shared her life with nine cats through the years and tries to run at least ten miles a week.
