DRAGON DREAMS takes place in a fantasy realm made up of humans, elves, dwarves, and shapeshifting dragons.  It is a classical tale of good versus evil.  In the aftermath of the War of the Dragons, the rebel dragons led by Obsidian are amassing their power with the intent of extinguishing all forms of life.  The hopes of the humans, elves, and Dragons of Light are centered on two unlikely characters.  Nachal is a human who was raised by dragon-kind, and Auri is an elf who was raised by humans.  They enter on a journey of self-discovery to try to understand their strange heritage and upbringing and to understand their role of destiny in the upcoming battle for existence.This book has an engaging plot and likeable characters. It was generally well-written with a good blend of action, suspense, and humor.  There are enough twists and turns in the plot to keep the reader's interest. As with most self-published books, this one needs some editing.  The major flaw that I found with the book is in the emotional content.  The main characters are usually in a feverish state of emotional angst or turmoil which gives the book a definite melodramatic flair. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the book enough to purchase DRAGON TIES, the second book in the series.
