Steamtree: The Airdrainium Adventures Book One
Anderax Grayvenhorn has spent his whole life traveling to the aircities in his parent’s dirigible, with one dream… to climb a real tree.
When his father, an aircity inspector, is sent to learn why these floating towers are starting to slip through the clouds, Anderax discovers the dark truth of their power source, and is pursued by the soul-stealing Archangels. As tensions rise, he finds the key to saving the aircities and the dragons is not a destiny of war, but to become one of the legendary Peacecrafters.
Both the ebook and paperback are illustrated!

Geartree: The Airdrainium Adventures Book Two
A year has passed since a dragon declared Anderax Grayvenhorn, a dragonrider, and Peacecrafter. Yet, they still can’t find any new sources of airdrainium - an ore that lifts cities into the sky.
Now he attends the Highland Dragon Academy and can climb trees every day. However, Anderax isn’t certain he can live up to this new title, or avoid the fear taking hold of everyone’s hearts. When dragonriders go missing, he and his fellow cadets return to the aircities. They discover an iron-bound book that leads them on a quest to an ancient city in the clouds, as a mysterious new helmeted enemy darkens the horizon.
Both the ebook and paperback are illustrated!

SHORT TALES
Build your own book - then read the story!
Instructions for making your own book!
Print the Short Tale (as 1 sheet of paper or 2) If printing both sides, the beginning of the story should be on the back of the cover.
Fold the page in half, on the line, and make certain to fold the top down behind the bottom of the page. (If using two pieces of paper make certain to put the two blank sides facing each other before folding.)
Hold cover so it is facing you and upright. Fold in half, fold this page behind the cover.
Staple, stitch, or glue the spine of the book. (not required) Make sure the page numbers are correct before binding the book.
Have an adult cut along the line at the top of the book to free all the pages. (Step 4 can be skipped if the adult slices the paper along the line once folded, but don’t cut all the way to the center. Cutting almost all the way, will free the pages but keep the book together.)
Read the book you made!
Instructions are also on the back page of each Short Tale.
