Title: Where the Living Dragons Dwell
First published: July 27, 2004
Description: Walking down a dark street in Brussels, the young man Paul starts his first journey into the supernatural Underworld by encountering a werewolf in disguise. The encounter proves almost deadly, and leaves a permanent scar on Paul's innocence. 
	He begins to lead a life on two sides of reality, and because of his military career, he cannot divulge a single word to anyone. On the one side, he leads a quiet and somewhat normal life that seems to bother no one and even allows him to make friends, serve his country and carry on with a good job in realitive peace and quiet. 
While in Biloxi, he learns about Buddhist meditation then moves on to try New Age religion and also things like past-life regression, and meeting an animal spirit guide. He then joins a fellowship based on self-realization and learns about God. But once he discovers that the mundane world we live in is only a viel of delusion by the power of Kriya Yoga, his uses his newfound incredible willpower to punch a hole into the paralell universe and begins to explore it. 
He wakens with strong body in a new world and relishes every encounter with strange beings that do not consider him strange at all. He first discovers a powerful ring of teleportation that will take him anywhere he desires. Then he meets a town of Celtic wolf-men and claims a home with them. They proclaim him as their long-lost leader 'Lord Marcus' and then he allows a wandering tribe of  Gypsy fox-people to live among them. Despite being human, he falls in love with a fox-woman named Shaza. Sometime later, an Arabic tribe of proud and hard-working horse-people move into the town, causing the town to thrive. 
While all of this is going on in that world, his soul returns to this world to carry on daily life to learn about God, through a Swami at his fellowship. When he returns to other world, he decides to find a real, live dragon... and he gets much more than he bargained for when a red dragon curses and threatens him in Babalonian. He avoids being killed, then he starts a cautious friendship with the dragon. When the friendship becomes a mind game to get the other to divulge closely guarded secrets, he ups the ante and pays a very high price. 
He later finds himself entrapped by the real Army of Darkness and quickly rises through the ranks. He is later found by a Bronze dragon and she lavishes him with kindness, which then comes to the attention of other dragons. He loves being in love and in fact, it might be said that he becomes a supernatural lover. All the while he relays more and more information to the Swami who tries to guide him in his other worldy wanderings, while he tries to live a normal life on the other side of the universe.
