Dragon Encounters: The Final Roar of Alaric
Through the ancient gaze of a dragon, a singular narrative unfolds – one of great loss, irreversible extinction, and the devastating mark of anthropogenic destruction. The Final Roar of Alaric is the first book in the series Dragon Encounters. This series is suitable for teens ages thirteen through eighteen.
Dragon Encounters is a haunting exploration of loss, the threads that bind memory and legacy, and the enduring fight against oblivion. With each page, readers are drawn into a melancholic tapestry of longing and hope, reflecting on the fragility of both nature and spirit. Available in both paperback and ebook versions.
Book Overview:
In a world where the last remnants of magic reside in the ruins of a fading realm, Alaric, the last dragon of Brimstone Mountain, soars through a sky tinted with sorrowful hues. Once a majestic creature draped in scales that sparkled like the finest gemstones, Alaric’s heart bears the weight of solitude. As the last of his kind, he is a living relic, a guardian of the memories of a time when dragons ruled the heavens and humans trembled at their might.
The valley, once vibrant and alive, is now marked by the encroachment of humanity. Settlements spring like weeds amidst the ancient groves, smoke rises from chimneys where laughter once echoed through the glades. Alaric watches from the craggy cliffs, his keen eyes filled with the haunting reflections of a past forever lost… continue reading here.

The second of the THAT CAT series!
I Am NOT That Cat, the second book in the THAT CAT series, is an enchanting collection of rhyming poetry that celebrates the curious, mischief-loving nature of cats, paralleling the whimsical adventures of children as they explore their surroundings.
I Am Not That Cat received a sparkling editorial review just days after publication!
“…Allen’s rhythmic precision gives the text a musical lilt that practically demands to be read aloud. The verses are buoyant, clever, and meticulously crafted, never faltering or falling flat. At moments, the style evokes the playful genius of Dr. Seuss, particularly in lines like, “NO WAY I’ll wear that hat! I am NOT that sort of cat!” It’s humorous, yes, but also sharply observed…
Each cat is rendered with precision, personality, and an unmistakable feline attitude. They’re not just drawings; they’re portraits. Expressive, dynamic, and visually captivating, the illustrations would hold their own as standalone art.”

The third title in the series The Alpine Dragon Legends, Saphyrux: Sentinel of the East, is now available! (released on January 27, 2025)
A brief synopsis:
Saphyrux: Sentinel of the East
“The dragon’s scales glistened in a myriad of hues, each one reflecting the light in a different way. Deep russet tones melded with shades of weathered moss, creating a mosaic of earthy colors that reminded one of ancient stone. The texture was both rugged and smooth, resembling cataphract that had been worn and etched by countless battles. As the dragon moved, the scales shifted subtly, revealing shades of saffron and slate blue that danced across its powerful form. The edges of each scale appeared serrated, catching the light like the jagged peaks of a mountain range, giving the creature an aura of raw strength and majesty.
This was a defender of the wild, a dragon known as Saphyrux; a magical dragon whose existence is intertwined with the heart of nature itself.
As a sentinel, Saphyrux stands watch over the mystical wonders of the Pennine Alps, casting a protective shadow over plants and animals alike, ready to confront any danger. The legend of Saphyrux is a tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and the bond between the dragon and the natural world. Exploring the journey of embracing the role as a protector against threats, this title invites readers into an enchanting world where magic and nature’s splendor coexist.”
