Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

"Dragonalia" is an imaginative and whimsical collection of storypoems about dragons and other beasties. It includes a visit from Emily, a sea dragon who blows kisses and sets ships on fire, a giant worm whose slaughter created the English language, "Tessie" a Lake Tahoe Plesiosaur, and a more modern version of a dragon as an "alien" mantis. There is a recurring visit by Cowboy Bob who provides thematic continuity and whose eventual madness and death delivers an unexpected genealogical gift to the author.

"Desert Coming & Seasonals" is a set of stories and poems speaking of emotional courage and transition to becoming an adult. "Desert Coming" is a set of poems that overlap the natural and supernatural worlds as might have been experienced by Chemehuevi Indians inhabiting the Mohave Desert regions of Southeast California. Inspiration is drawn from tales of Great Elk Spirit, and the Blythe and Rattlesnake Intaglios along the Colorado River. These include a tale of a tribal chief called to lead his tribe to a new homeland, a boy who rescues the moon caught in a battle between giant rams, and a hawk who rescues the "questioning girl" from a snake-witch. The theme of transition is then carried on withthree seasonal stories, two inspired by events in the author's life, and the third by the Dylan Thomas story, "A Child's Christmas in Wales." This eBook is appropriate for young adults and adults alike.
