I Am My Own Dragon

I Am My Own Dragon creates a new genre of metaphysical fiction. People from all walks of life are hungry for answers to questions that traditional forms of learning, fellowship and community no longer provide. Since we live in such turbulent times, directly expressing an option sparks adversarial communication from debate to blood shed. As a piece of fiction, I Am My Own Dragon tells a good story, provides insights at the readers deepest level of questioning, and gives readers room to take or leave as much as they choose of the content. I Am My Own Dragon not only creates a new genre, but brakes the form of a traditional novel. The prologue is a poem capturing the imagery and emotion of an abused three-year-old child. It begins with Lucinda March leaving her hometown for college. The book is divided into three sections. Life - depicts the struggle to learn and overcome childhood traumas. Transformation - the middle section reveals the transformational process for both Lucinda and all of those she comes in contact with during her own healing. The last section is Enlightenment, in this section the reader co-creates Lucinda's experience of moving from atheist to spiritual being. The reader has the option to learn, feel, and decide answers to their own deepest questions. At the end of the enlightenment section the reader discovers that they have been writing their own story as they read the book. The reader discovers a spirit who was at one time Lucinda March gave the book they have just read to them. In the final pages of the book the reader discovers Lucinda has told the entire book after her death. Thus, I Am My Own Dragon spans a human lifetime and beyond, engaging the reader to personally commit to their own story with each page they turn.
