Reading Indie Authors is like digging through a pile of plain rocks and finding the occasional golden nugget. Author Edie Ramer is golden. Her latest release, "Dragon Blues", begins a series of paranormal romantic suspense. Noah is the Dragon/Man simply trying to live an immortal life in peace and quiet. His closest companions are his cat and his saxophone. Lila is a modern woman with an abused past who's learned to aggressively take care of herself. Ramer weaves a tight plot to bring these two together with enough peril to keep it interesting.  The core of the piece is true romance--two wounded beings who find completion in each other.  For me, the best part of "Dragon Blues" is the writing style.  It's sharp, swift and clean. Ramer artfully uses a lot of fragment sentences that bring a crisp rhythm to the manuscript, almost as if she listened to various musical pieces as she tapped out the story on the keyboard. It will be interesting to see how her Dragon myths unfold. And, oh yeah, the love scenes are smoking. But what else would you expect from a fire-breathing Dragon Man?
