Writer’s Wednesday: The Dragon King Author
Spotlight

Hello You Gorgeous Writer’s You!
If you are wondering what happened to last week’s Writer’s Wednesday post, it’s a long story. You didn’t miss it, it
wasn’t there, my apologies.
I’m making it up to you today with a wonderful Author Spotlight!
Along with posts on writing/blogging tips, I want to start sharing authors, their stories, and their books with you, as well.
I have a fantastic one for you right out of the gate with…
The Dragon King by Vivian Slade
Based on a boy named Ethan, whom Vivian met in a hospital burn unit, The Dragon King is a story of adventure and
triumph.
Charmingly illustrated by the author’s 15-year-old daughter Johanna, The Dragon King transports us to a world of
knights and yes, dragons.
This is not your average fairy tale, however….
What I adore about The Dragon King is that, though about a prince burdened with too quickly becoming a king, it is a
story that both adults and children can relate to. A coming of age story. A story about facing fears and the unknown.
For what makes a just and honorable leader?

2. “Faith, courage, and wisdom.”
Something instilled in this book, that we have talked
about a great deal here on the blog, is visualizing your
victory even before it occurs with the faith that it is so!
What a Powerful lesson!
Overcoming the voices in our heads that tell us we can’t
and listening instead to those of mentors that have taught
us along the way, the ones who have gone before with
wisdom and experience.
Like these wise words from the young king’s mother,
“Ethan, never forget that courage is not the
absence of fear, but doing what you know to be
right in spite of it. Face your fear and it will lose
its power over you.”
The Dragon King, is not just a book, but has
accompanying music for extra inspiration and an engaging experience that captivates children’s attention, involving
them deeper into the principles the book teaches. The book is also repeated in Spanish at the end, reaching out to a
wider audience.
In addition, a companion Values Education curriculum, is also available for grades K-6. To learn more about this
beautifully influential curriculum, please visit TheDragonKing.com
I highly encourage you to head on over to Amazon to learn more about the author, Vivian Slade, and the
story of the real “Ethan.”
So, I want to leave you with these, soul searching, questions from the book,
“How would I behave if I wasn’t afraid?”
“What would I attempt to do?”
“How bold would I be- how fast, how strong, how clever?”
Think on that and remember,
“No task lies before you so dreadful that you shall not master it.”
