I'm happy to welcome the wonderful C. Lee McKenzie to my blog and celebrating her upcoming release, Sign of the Green Dragon. Here's Lee talking about the Chinese zodiac sign of the Dragon.
What’s
It Like To Be A Dragon?
Darned
hard work is my answer to that question.
If
you’re a Dragon, you go out of your way to help others, but seldom
ask for help yourself. You like the swash and the buckle way of doing
things, and you take a lot of risks because you’re one passionate
and enthusiastic creature. Sometimes these risks pay off big.
Sometimes not. This is why I say it’s hard work; you’re often
exhausted, yet many times unfulfilled.
You
must find a tough partner to put up with your independent streak and
sometimes bad temper. Your best choices in partners will be Monkey
and Rat, and that partner is sure to appreciate how lucky you are.
The Dragon is the luckiest animal in the zodiac.
You
need a job that gives you a chance to be creative. Maybe an actor or
a revolutionary or a political leader would suit your personality.
Here
are some noted Dragon Children:
Bruce
Lee was Dragon Child.
Joan
of Arc—but look what happened there!
Vladimir
Putin—Wowzer! You’ve got some spunky company.
Find
out if you’re a Dragon. Here are some of the years:

Blurb: A crumbling map from 1859, found clutched in the bony grip of the long dead, sends three young boys on a
dangerous adventure where an unsolved murder, a modern crime, some lost
ancestors and ancient Chinese dragons reveal the true meaning of
treasure.

Author bio: I love to write for young readers. Sign of the Green Dragon is my third Middle Grade novel. Alligators Overhead and the sequel, The Great Time Lock Disaster were
my first two. I’m proud to be a hybrid author with three Indie books
out along with four traditionally published young adult novels: Sliding on the Edge, The Princess of Las Pulgas, Double Negative and Sudden Secrets. It’s fun to know both sides of this writing business.
When I’m not writing I’m thinking about it or scratching my head over how all of this started.
