title: Lore of the Dragons: Essence of a Queen
author: A. K. Conklin
description: After years of reading fantasy novels time had come for me to start working on my own story. I had always had a way with words and once the text started looking like a book my friends and family pushed me to contacting a publishing company so i could share my story with others. I had an idea for a book and now it seams that it's not only going to be one book but several . . . as the caracters in my book take on their own life and do as they please, I simply have to follow their lead. Who do I think I am? Well, i am a woman in the middle of my life. I live close to Son in Norway with my 2 wonderful children (12 and 5) and my husband. I have done all kinds of work from asembly line in a factory to working in a pub and even driving a forklift in a wearhose. I have never been afraid of getting dirt on my hands, probaly prefer it. I paint and draw in addition to my writing. And that is about it . . . i guess.

  The most talented shapeshifter of her generation, Zynda has one love in her
  life: freedom. The open air above her, the water before her, the sun on her
  skin or wings or fur—their sensual glories more than make up for her
  loneliness. She serves the High Queen’s company well, but she can’t trust her
  allies with her secrets, or the secrets of her people. Best that she should
  keep her distance, alone.
  
  
  Except wherever she escapes, Marskal, the Queen’s quiet lieutenant, seems to
  find her. Solid, stubborn, and disciplined, he’s no more fluid than rock. Yet
  he knows what she likes, what thrills and unnerves her, when she’s hiding
  something. His lithe warrior’
