title: The Demise of a Dragon: A Work of Fiction
author:  Harry E. Ewing 
description: Born in Denver, Colorado as a part of a large family. I had three older brothers that would make up stories to keep me quie and get me to sleep. I WISH I COULD REMEMBER THOSE STORIES. As a member of the U.S. Navy, I discovered that Dragons were still alive in the minds of some civilations. I spent a lot of time reading about them for the next twenty years. One night in Bakersfield, California, I was having a tough time going to sleep. The stress of my job had started taking a toll. I decided to write a book. My mind said, WRITE ABOUT DRAGONS.
