Hello, my name is Chris Cannon. I’m 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 she’s 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 she’s told. Unfortunately for them, she’s 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
6th.
When people find out I write about shape-shifting dragons, they ask some
interesting questions.
-So you write fiction?
“No. It’s autobiographical.” *author shifts into a dragon and blasts flames into
the air before launching herself into the sky.
-Is it like Fifty Shades of Gray?
“No. It’s a young adult paranormal romance. A sweet romance with lots of teenage
angst and drama and swoony guys.”
-Is it one of those kissing books?
“It’s a kick-ass chick who doesn’t 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.”
-Why write about dragons?
“Because 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.”
-Why do you write and or read young adult when you’re well past that age?
*Author gives questioner the evil eye. “Young adult refers to the age of the
main character, not the age of the reader. I’ve never been a ten-year-old boy
but I loved Harry Potter. I’ve never been a Shadowhunter but I enjoyed The
Mortal Instruments series, etc.”
Have a question you’d like to ask? Leave it below in the comments, and I’ll 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 she’s a hybrid dragon, she’s finally fitting
into the new shape-shifting dragon world that’s become her own. But her
grandparents want to ruin everything by making Bryn’s nightmare of an arranged
marriage to Jaxon Westgate a reality. It doesn’t help that Jaxon’s father is on
a witch hunt for Rebel sympathizers and Bryn finds herself in his line of fire.
If she doesn’t say, “ I do,” she’ll lose everything. Good-bye flying.
Good-bye best friends. Good-bye magic. But if she bends to her grandparents’
will and agrees to marry Jaxon, she’ll lose the love of her life—her knight.
