Mark of the Dragon Blurb
In a land of warriors and dragons, everything is about to
change...
Countries are divided and war is raging, but none of that matters to Andra. She
is destined to be a dragon rider. There has never been a woman rider, but that
doesn't matter to her. After her father's death, she trains harder than any man
to be a worthy candidate. Even when the Aquastrian leader wants her dead, she
fights back. Can she over come traveling hundreds of miles on foot, surviving
hunger, bandits, assassins and wild carnivores?
Liam is just another warrior who hopes he is worthy of the Mark of the Dragon.
He must endure the long trek from Aquastra to Santerrian, avoiding all people,
especially those who may be hired to kill him. Meeting Andra along the way changes
everything. He admires her willful spirit and is inspired to do even more as a
warrior and stop the war. He fights to help her, kills to protect her, but will
it be enough to get them both to their dragons before it's too late?

About the Authors
M.R. Polish was born in Idaho, a long, long, long, well, maybe not thatlong time ago.... Writing has always been there for her. Growing up, her mind
was filled with stories, some she shared and others she filed away to write
down later in life. It wasn't until 2011 that she decided to publish her
stories for everyone to enjoy. Her first award, and when writing became more
than just an idea, was in the 5th grade. She won the scary story contest for
the school newspaper. It is one story she still has tucked away for memories.
Her teacher told her she could be anything she wanted and that she had a talent
for writing, being creative and drawing people into her stories. M.R. took that
to heart and continued to write, although mostly in secret until recent years.
Now you can find her enjoying life with her family -
wrangling her four kids, setting traps in the house with toys for unsuspecting
victims (aka, her husband) and writing down all her crazy and fun stories.
"Life is too
short to stand by and watch everyone else live your dreams. The bigger the
dream, the bigger the adventure!" ~ M.R. Polish

Bill Morgan is M.R.’s dad, and if she was born that long ago, You allshould shudder at how long ago he was born.
He has always been creative. As
an amateur artist and an avid woodworker, he always could see the hidden beauty
in a blank piece of paper or a piece of wood.
He joined the U.S. Coast Guard in 1986 and spent twenty years saving
lives and serving his country. He always
had stories running around in his head, but he never tried to put them onto
paper until M.R. convinced him to do this book with her. Now he is actively writing two additional
sci-fi/fantasy novels. Hopefully she
hasn’t created a monster. Bill’s
favorite thing is his family. He has a
wonderful wife, two adult daughters, four sisters, and more wonderful nieces
and nephews than you can believe. His
last count was over one hundred and he loves them all. One of his favorite quotes comes from a
movie, but it applies to writing a fictional novel as well:
“Don’t know where we’re going, but there’s no sense in being late.” ~Mathew Quigley
