Dragon Stalkers - Richard Marman

. .

Résumé :
The latest YA novel from the pen of Richard Marman. A mighty dragon called Brimstone is terrorizing the once quiet village of Oak Tree. Prince Roger and his sister, Princess Crystal, set out to hunt the fiery beast. They are ably assisted, or hindered, as the case may be, by an evil knight, a mysterious good-guy, the local sheriff, loyal men-at-arms, forest brigands, ogres, trolls, and Oak Trees villagers with a bunch of attitude. There are thrills, spills, romance and a heap of rollicking fun to be had by all.

Biographie:
Richard Marman was born in Swindon, UK. His father was a RAF pilot who had served with distinction during WWII. His family moved from base to base after the war, including four years in Germany. They immigrated to Fremantle in 1962. Richard attended six primary and three secondary schools, so he is familiar with the 'new kid on the block' status. After school, Richard joined the Royal Australian Air Force and trained as a pilot. He served for nine years, including a tour in Vietnam and a significant time flying in New Guinea. In 1975 Richard left the RAAF to fly with Ansett Airlines until the company closed in 2001 at which time he was a Boeing 767 captain. Afterwards he trained Singapore Airlines cadets on Lear Jets until 2007. Leaving aviation behind, Richard completed a Diploma of Visual Arts at Tewantin TAFE and a Bachelor of Arts at the University of the Sunshine Coast, majoring in creative writing and graphic design. Many of Richard's book ideas stemmed from University projects and places he's visited worldwide. Richard lives on Queensland's Sunshine Coast with his wife Judy. They have twin daughters living interstate. For more information visit: www.richardmarman.net and www.richardmarman.com
