Today I want to talk about:

George Atkins


However, as a bonus I also want to to talk about his dragon:

Spitfire

After all they are two titular characters of the novel.

George lives in a time when there were no iPads and no mobile phones.  Not every home had a TV and there was only one channel; BBC1.  The computer, as we know it, was years away as was the internet.

For entertainment George would go playing in the street with a toy sword and a wooden plank for a horse. 

Then without warning his whole world is transformed as he finds himself riding a dragon into combat.  From there, along with the dragon, he is recruited by the RAF to fight against the Luftwaffe.   For the most part George treats the whole experience like one big thrill ride but he is very much a child in an adults world and he finds that very difficult to deal with.  

Spitfire is the name given to the emerald green dragon that George find himself riding.  The dragon is brave, powerful and a fantastic ally.  He is also argumentative and considered to be a rebel amongst his own kind.

More than once he finds himself at odds with Group Captain Ford but he never uses his size and power to sway the argument and the Group Captain. in turn, is never intimated by the dragon.

You'll be able to read about how the George and Spitfire meet tomorrow when the book is officially released on Kindle.

I hope you'll enjoy the book and if you do you'll give it a great review.
