Overview: Chris A. Jackson fell in love with the sea the first time he set eyes on those majestic rolling waves. As a youth, he spent summers working on his father’s fishing boat in Oregon. Trained as a marine biologist, he became sidetracked by a career in biomedical research, but regained his heart and soul in 2009 when he and his wife Anne left the dock aboard a 45-foot sailboat to cruise the Caribbean and write full time. His acclaimed Scimitar Seas nautical fantasies won three consecutive Gold Medals in the ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year Awards. In addition to his sea tales, his repertoire includes six more award-winning fantasy novels, as well as several short stories published in anthologies. Shooting from the sea to the stars, Chris now has a triad of science fiction/humor novellas available in both ebook and audiobook formats. His most recent release is Pirate’s Honor, from Paizo Publishing.

1. Dragon Dreams
Death is her milieu…
Harvard PhD student Aleksi Rychenkna lives for ages past. She loves the peace of solitary study, peace from people, from questions, from human interaction. Now she has a new advisor, a new project, and a fascinating new mystery to explore. When she discovers a preserved specimen that defies identification and contains human DNA, the lure of the unknown is irresistible.
But this mystery runs deeper than Aleksi bargains for. Not only are there more, and more powerful, people interested in her work than she ever expected, but after an accidental exposure to the specimen’s strange DNA, she finds herself…changing.
Aleksi begins to have bizarre dreams, nightmares of blood filled with violent images and urges. Her reflexes and instincts sharpen, and she is suddenly stronger and faster than she should be. But what happens when she realizes her dreams are something far more? Because they’re not dreams at all. They’re memories.
2. Dragon Nemesis
Aleksi Rychenknya’s metamorphosis is complete.
A throwback to a long-extinct genetic twist that lay hidden with the human genome for twenty millennia, she is the only one of her kind in the world. Hunted by the government that would use her as a weapon, sought by a subversive and secretive organization that can reshape human flesh, and loved by the one man who keeps her dreadful secret, the man she longs to be with, but cannot for fear of infecting him with this dreadful genetic transformation.
For the transformation that reshaped Aleksi into something more dragon than human is contagious, and as they learn more of what drives those who are infected, she realizes that she harbors a plague that could mean the end of mankind.
There is hope, however, or the promise of hope. But Aleksi cannot trust those who promise to make her human again. And yet, if it means a chance to regain her life, to become Aleksi Rychenknya again, to be with the man she loves again, perhaps it’s worth the risk.
The greater risk comes from an unexpected quarter, however, for Aleksi is not the only Dragon of Boston. This new dragon has but one irresistible urge burning in his mind: he must find her. For male dragons are driven only to eliminate rival males and procreate.
3. Dragon Legacy
The Captive Dragon…
While Aleksi struggles to become human again, Lori Watkins, the single surviving victim of the rogue dragon, David Gilford, begins her metamorphosis in captivity.
Traumatized by the death of her fiancé and tormented by the dreams of the dragon she is becoming, Lori is struggling for sanity. She has only one hope, for others know she’s being held captive. But with a dragon in hand, Lori’s captors aren’t likely to make a deal with the secretive organization that wields more skill in manipulating the human genome than they do, and Aleksi’s new family will never trust the government with the ability to cure the Homo Draconis infection.
But angering the Department of Homeland Security is not unlike taunting a dragon, and Lori’s captors are as much out for vengeance as they are for the secret of creating an army of non-infectious dragons.
The two organizations are doomed to clash, and in the middle stands the man Aleksi loves. But if one thing is more dangerous than keeping a dragon captive, it’s threatening one’s loved ones.
The Dragon of Boston is going to war.
