I can finally let you in on the supa secret project I've been working! Introducing: Kaylee. A teen with hypermobile Ehler-Danlos Syndrome who changes form every time she dislocates, which is pretty often.
This story is close to my heart, because I've been dislocating since my teens, without knowing why. When multiple doctors ask if I had EDS, I started to pay attention. And when I found out I'm one of approximately 31,000 people in Australia with the condition, and there's currently no treatment, I look at my kids and want a better future - one where they'll get help for this.
But what about the story?
It was borne last BrisNova, where I was chatting to another author about a dragon with a hoard of a single coin... and the idea grew. Within the pages is everything from Baba Yaga to Roman soldiers, to holographic dragons and so much more.
Come join the dragon in this young adult friendly anthology. Stepping into the markets to buy something, your change comes with a dragon who likes to travel. Tiny, green, and clutching a gold coin, the dragon shares fifteen tales from authors across Australia as they come together to raise funds with a special edition collection.
My story in this is well and truly outside Lissae - Kaylee is a teen in the middle of her senior year at high school. She has all the normal drama with friends, last minute cramming, and a magical portal in town. Oh, and every time she dislocates something (which is pretty often), she changes into some sort of demon dog. A trip through the portal later, she comes across the dragon and his coin, and things start to change... will it be for the better, or is it all just going to get worse?
