This St. George's Day, why not pick up a paperback or e-book of CHASING THE DRAGON, the Thriller Award and Shirley Jackson Award finalist that follows the last living descendant of St. George as she struggles against her addictions to slay the same dragon her ancestor was supposed to.

Careful, Jerry! It looks like Trojak developed a goiter from all that life juice he’s been drinking.
Remember the part in Jerry Maguire where he stays up all night writing a sincere, visionary manifesto and publishes it to his entire office
And in the morning everyone laughs at him?
You are more than the sum total of your neurotransmitters
Your personality is too complex to be defined by four letters or three zodiac signs
Your life is magic and mystical and that cannot be explained away with a playlist
