The jewel you see glowing in the ring in his authors photo isn't really a jewel at all. It is the crystallized tear of a real dragon. In his novel "The Royal Dragoneers" you might find the moment where this wonderfully magical tear drop fell from a green dragons eye and hardened on its way down to land in a mess of troll corpses that the dragon was laying on.His grandfather died before he was born, but the ring was given to him by his mother, after her grandmother recently died. His grandfather had apparently won the ring in a poker game near the Red River between Texas and Oklahoma sometime in the early 1900's.It has been a boon, the magic of the teardrop, for it brought it to him. Now treat yourself to something fantastic and try out the free sample of one of his novels.
