title: Dragon's Curse (The Dragon and the Scholar) (Volume 1)
author:  H L Burke 
description: Born in a small town in north central Oregon, H. L. Burke spent most of her childhood around trees and farm animals and was always accompanied by a book. Growing up with epic heroes from Middle Earth and Narnia keeping her company, she also became an incurable romantic. An addictive personality, she jumped from one fandom to another, being at times completely obsessed with various books, movies, or television series (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Star Trek all took their turns), but she has grown to be what she considers a well-rounded connoisseur of geek culture. Married to her high school crush who is now a US Marine, she has moved multiple times in her adult life but believes that home is wherever her husband, two daughters, and pets are. She self-published her first novel, "The Ordinary Knight and the Invisible Princess: a Tale in Two Parts," in the summer of 2013 and is currently working on a four part fantasy/romance series with the working title of "The Scholar and the Dragon."
