Book Description by Author:

"The world can be a scary place and to Danny everything was scary, and I do mean everything! From bikes and bugs to burgers - and those are just the B words - Danny has a whole alphabet of fears. Danny was afraid because the mean and nasty yellow dragon had stolen his brave, and of course he was too afraid to ask for it back. But then the unthinkable happens and the biggest, most horrible dragon of them all steals not only Danny's dad's brave but his dad too! So Danny has no choice but head into the dark forest to find the dragon and confront his fears. Join Danny on an epic quest where he meets frightening forest creatures and dragons along the way, only to discover that true courage is already inside of us."

About the Author:

I was born and raised in Calgary, Alberta Canada where I still reside. I grew up working at the racetrack with my fathers horses.

It has long been my dream to start a small press focusing simultaneously on books for children struggling with behavioural/complex needs issues and adult and YA fantasy.

I have been writing for as long as I can remember and working with children dealing with behavioural issues for over a decade. It seemed appropriate to combine my two passions, children and writing. To this end I began Burroughs Manor Press and the website www.solvingbehaviour.com.

I have a deep love of anything fantasy and am an avid reader. I have read Lord of the Rings over a hundred times in my life.
