Book Description
“Bradley's Dragons is a magical journey that has a great message on handling bullying. It was an exciting adventure that my son couldn't put down.” - Creative Child Magazine (winner of their 2020 Children's Book Of The Year award) “A compelling cast of characters with rich backstories round out this fantastical story of a scared kid learning to stand up to bullies and be true to himself.” - Booklife “This book is seriously awesome! 5 stars are rare for us, yet we’d give this one 7 if that were possible. Seriously, I could barely put it down – great characters, good plot lines, enough depth, and breadth to really get into it. And finally, a tale told fully that will have you biting your nails and turning pages as fast as you can.” - ReadingWithYourKids.com The first time a hunter came for him, Bradley Nash was only nine years old. That was three years ago, and he barely escaped. Now, he lives with his family in a Florida trailer park. He doesn’t remember the attack, doesn’t know anything about hunters, or dragons, or even magic. All he knows is that he suffers from a crippling fear of strangers. He sits in the back of his classes and keeps to himself, always worried that an anxiety attack may strike. As his twelfth birthday approaches, however, he discovers that dragons, magic, and hunters are all real, and that he and his family are in more danger than he could possibly have imagined. The hunters are coming and his world will never be the same.

Beware Sleeping Dragons

Pages : 294
Book Description
I've believed for many years that the powers that be (whoever they are) who control most everything in America have worked overtime to turn the American Law Enforcement Officer into little more then a tool for the shadow Government- a way to get around The Posse Comitatus Act. (The Posse Comitatus Act is the United States federal law (18 U.S.C. � 1385, original at 20 Stat. 152) that was passed on June 18, 1878, after the end of Reconstruction and was updated in 1981. Its intent (in concert with the Insurrection Act of 1807) was to limit the powers of Federal government in using federal military personnel to enforce the State laws.) The training and armament of our civilian police has led to many abuses of power where the police don't believe they are "Above" the law, but that they"Are the Law". This has resulted in the deaths of many Americans who have reacted to middle of the night break-ins that have resulted in the shooting of said homeowner for reaching for a weapon to protect his or her family. The 'no-knock' rule must go and civility towards the public must return. Barring that, I see a time when this story line will become the common occurrence. People will say, "Enough!" and will say it with force, if needed.
