DRAWING OUT THE DRAGONS is, I feel, the most meaningful thing I’ve ever written. It’s the first in a series of three books that I call The Meditations, which I hope will help change your life, and how you choose to live it. In its pages, I talk about the things that I believe are most important in this life; about things I believe are true, and meaningful, and worth sharing. I tell stories drawn from my own life: examples about overcoming obstacles and adversity; stories about how making choices in your life is like drawing a Dragon; vignettes about how I came to do what it is that I love most in the world for my job. But most importantly, I tell each and every reader that they can make the same kinds of choices that I did – and that I believe in them.

Sometimes, being told that is the thing that we need most in our lives. And I think it’s the most important thing that I can say to anyone: I believe in you. Coppervale intially released DotD as an ebook; then, thanks to the generous support of my readers and a successful Kickstarter campaign, a print edition became available in both hardcover and paperback. Now, Shadow Mountain Publishing has released the definitive edition. This book is the perfect gift for a high-school graduate, as a Christmas gift, or just as something that you think someone might need to read when they’re trying to find which path to take. Read the book, share the message. And maybe, just maybe, help change someone’s life.
