I painted the covers for my Dragon Dreamer books and drew a fantasy flake or illustration for each chapter. I drew illustrations for my research papers and cartoons for my “Crystal Science” educational books. I love Science and Art they’re both based on patterns. “Crystal Geometry” and “Crystal Colors” are the first two books in the “Crystal Science” educational series (used in school systems). These unique designs are fantasy snowflakes grown by dragons in the Dragon Dreamer series.

So I learned the art of writing a novel, which is quite different from writing a research paper. I began to write and more characters appeared. Octopus Scree rescues Dragon Arak they overcome great differences and become friends. Octopuses are natural shapeshifters, intelligent and creative, with abilities far beyond ours.
