I set out to tell the story of Alto and his friends and somewhere along the way all the plans and memories I had took a twist. Instead of the juvenile adventures Alto's predicaments became realistic. What he endured came from deep places inside of me that I wasn't always willing to explore, but I knew we had to go there if the character was going to be able to recover.It is said that an writer writes to discover themselves. I can't say whether that's true or not but I can say that writing Silver Dragon was education and enlightening for me. It became so much more for me than just another book. It was a reminder that bad things happen to good people and we can either let that defeat us or we can rise up and fight back. And since we're all human, sometimes both of those things have to happen before we can move on.To paraphrase Niezstche, those who look into the abyss should know the abyss looks back. This book looked back and changed me, I hope it does the same for you. *
