389 - March 9, 2025 - RAF Dragon Corps, Forged in Blood, Shattered Kingdom

This week, I completed a new novella in a new series and a new genre—alternative history/historical fantasy! I’ve been working on Dragon Squadron, a story set in 1939 England that imagines what if there were dragons in World War II.The novella follows Jim Ashford, a young man who defies his naval admiral father to join the elite RAF Dragon Corps. Bonding with Aether, a midnight-blue combat dragon, Jim trains for the coming war against Germany’s ruthless dragon breeding programme, where dragons are raised for aggression and their riders show no mercy.This story is deeply personal—I always wanted to join the RAF but couldn’t due to being legally blind. Through this book, I’ve been able to explore that dream in fiction, blending military precision with fantasy adventure.Chapters will be released weekly on Patreon, and the entire novella will be available to all patrons, including free members. If dragons defending Britain’s skies intrigues you, I’d love for you to join me on this journey.🔗 Read the first chapter now: patreon.com/collection/1360827
