Proposed flap copy:
Welcome to Collinsfort Village!
For Dennis Pearson, life is never dull, especially with a friend like Griff. Twenty feet of half-eagle, half-lion dragon-slaying power, Griff flies down from his cave on the first three Saturdays of the month and reads stories to the children at the library. But unknown to everyone in town, Griff is a best-selling author of myth-and-legend novels published under his pen name Karolyne von Frankenburgh. A partially shredded royalty statement sends Dennis, Griff and his Chevy Suburban-driving cavemate Bear on a wild escapade of espionage, mistaken identities, cover-ups and perhaps even murder.
But life in Collinsfort Village is just as interesting for Griff. When Griff’s mural-painting friend Dorian comes to town, he drops a bombshell and confesses, “I changed aviation history, Griff. If the rest of the world ever found out, they’d want me dead.” Dorian, you see, is a magnificent peacock-blue dragon who hasn’t flown in nearly a hundred years. Will Griff, Dennis and Bear find out what really happened in the skies over the Pacific Ocean in 1937? Can they solve aviation’s greatest mystery and give Dorian a reason to spread his mighty wings and take to the air once more?
Spend some time in Collinsfort Village. You might just want to move there yourself!
