Dear Anita has always held Aiki Dragon’s spirit within her heart, giving her protection and guidance for her journey as a warrior. She was born into a family blessed with love, humor, trust, and various philosophies, and she learned how to become one with all that surrounded her. She discovered the universe’s power of love, for it dwelled within her, along with her enthusiasm and high energy. As a child, Dear Anita learned to communicate with a playmate who spoke another language, fly a tricycle, and stand up bravely to the neighborhood bully. She became one of the first and youngest female pilots and aviation attorneys. Then the universe revealed her healing powers, allowing her to become a Chinese medicine doctor. In a time of self-reflection, Dear Anita learned of the beautiful goddess Kannon and was introduced to Aiki Dragon and the world of dragons, where she discovered her Dragon Queen Ryu healing powers. Simultaneously a book from her law school years, on the harmony and techniques of Aikido, fell back into her hands and created a forever path upon her warrior’s journey—where compassion, healing, love, and gratitude unite with the universe’s plan of perfect unison…and we are all one.

For years, tales of DRAGONS from another world kidnapping and enslaving humans have been circulating in Jason Masters’ world, while for a slave girl named Koren, the stories of a human world seem pure myth.

Jason Masters doubted the myths that told of people taken through a portal to another realm and enslaved by dragons. But when he receives a cryptic message from his missing brother, he must uncover the truth and find the portal before it’s too late. At the same time, Koren, a slave in the dragons’ realm, discovers she has a gift that could either save or help doom her people.

A modern adventure inhabited by the fleeting echoes of the prehistoric past of the great Celtic people who settled Ireland and Scotland as early as 3600 BC. Intertwined with the lessons of the Druid's lost in time, are the realizations that we must all face, as we decide just what we are going to do with our lives. From the ancient lives of Gitta, the Celtic Druidess sent to live in the mystical cave on Strotta and her Irish Warrior, Dermot waiting for her across the choppy waters leading to the Giants Causeway, to two twin sisters deciding to separate for different colleges thousands of miles apart, Dragon Lines, Nwyure is an enchanting and delightful read which will leave you only wanting more of Scale's storytelling. She writes of God centered characters and situations from an alternative perspective, which beckons you to examine the truth all around you. Tackling fiction as a more lucid expression of ancient truths, this is another example of how Scales gives her readers a glimpse of a reality that transcends the practical and touches upon the magical and the divine dancing around us constantly.
