Hello, my name is Chris Cannon. Iβm a speech therapist by day, and an author who
writes shape-shifting dragons by night. The
Going Down In
Flames series is about Bryn McKenna, a sixteen-year-old girl who finds
out sheβs a shape-shifting dragon when flames shoot out of her mouth for the
first time. (Surprise!)
Bryn is forced to attend a school for shape-shifting dragons where they expect
her to sit quietly and do as sheβs told. Unfortunately for them, sheβs not that
kind of girl. Adventure, romance, and snarky banter ensues.
FANNING THE FLAMES is the
fourth book in the young adult, paranormal romance series and it comes out March
6
th.
When people find out I write about shape-shifting dragons, they ask some
interesting questions.
-So you write fiction?
βNo. Itβs autobiographical.β *author shifts into a dragon and blasts flames into
the air before launching herself into the sky.
-Is it like Fifty Shades of Gray?
βNo. Itβs a young adult paranormal romance. A sweet romance with lots of teenage
angst and drama and swoony guys.β
-Is it one of those kissing books?
βItβs a kick-ass chick who doesnβt take crap from anyone kind of book. And yes,
there is some kissing, but there is also a lot of fire-breathing action and
adventure.β
-Why write about dragons?
βBecause dragons are the strongest, most amazing shifters around. They control
magic, they can fly, and they can blast anyone who annoys them into a cinder.β
-Why do you write and or read young adult when youβre well past that age?
*Author gives questioner the evil eye. βYoung adult refers to the age of the
main character, not the age of the reader. Iβve never been a ten-year-old boy
but I loved Harry Potter. Iβve never been a Shadowhunter but I enjoyed The
Mortal Instruments series, etc.β
Have a question youβd like to ask? Leave it below in the comments, and Iβll do
my best to answer without giving the evil eye. One commenter will win the e-book
of their choice from the
Going Down In
Flames series.
Going Down in Flames
Going Down in
Flames #4
Bryn McKenna has it all, including her smoking-hot knight turned live-in
boyfriend, Valmont. Even though sheβs a hybrid dragon, sheβs finally fitting
into the new shape-shifting dragon world thatβs become her own. But her
grandparents want to ruin everything by making Brynβs nightmare of an arranged
marriage to Jaxon Westgate a reality. It doesnβt help that Jaxonβs father is on
a witch hunt for Rebel sympathizers and Bryn finds herself in his line of fire.
If she doesnβt say, β I do,β sheβll lose everything. Good-bye flying.
Good-bye best friends. Good-bye magic. But if she bends to her grandparentsβ
will and agrees to marry Jaxon, sheβll lose the love of her lifeβher knight.

I love paranormal and like to share books with my grandchildren. Thank you for writing stories that I can share with a 15 year old girl, who also loves to read.
