"Night of the Black Dragon" coming soon

It's here. I've been working on a brand new dragon rider series set in an alternate Tang China, and the prequel short story is ready for advance readers! I'm so excited to introduce "Night of the Black Dragon", a fantasy adventure tale about a hardened thief whose heist at a dragon rider's home grows complicated. Here's a sneak peek at the cover, as well as a more detailed synopsis:

In a world ruled by dragons and their riders, Jin is a young thief surviving the underbelly of Tang China by following her boss’s one simple rule: never steal from the empire. But when she crosses paths with a rival gang during a heist, Jin inadvertently ignites a bloody turf war. To save herself, she must now convince her boss to break all the rules and steal from the elite dragon riders of the Tang empire. But will this make her the most powerful thief in the province, or send her to an early grave?
