Hi! I'm J. S. Burke, author of The Dragon Dreamer, marine biologist, and artist. I spend my days tossing colorful lightning bolts with my dragons in the storm clouds. At night I travel to the deep abyss with glowing giant squid. I experience the adventures, quests, towering tsunamis, fearsome legends, and the wisdom of Scree. 

The Dragon Dreamer is a science fantasy with flying dragons, an undersea world, and an unexpected friendship. I'm writing the sequel, Black Lightning. I am honored to meet you!
 
Arak is tormented for his un-dragonly talents. Determined to prove himself, he flies far over the sea on a dangerous quest, and crashes on ice. A fearless undersea shape-shifter named Scree finds and heals him, and an unexpected friendship begins. 

Arak returns to the Winter Festival, where dragons carve glaciers with fire and toss lightning bolts in the clouds. When an undersea volcano erupts it triggers a towering tsunami and a deadly chain of events. Can Arak's unique talents save the dragons?
