Description
Sequel to the award-winning IAN Humor Book of the Year Death and the Taxman.
Death and the Dragon is the wild ride through Hell that Dante wished he'd had. Demons, nightmares, and bureaucrats await the Grim Reaper as he scrambles to stop a coup in Hell, forestall Armageddon, and rescue the Devil himself.
After Lucifer played fast and loose with the Rules governing soul management-after he stole Abigail's soul without Judgment-Grim storms into Hell to have words with the Lord of Lies. But one does not just waltz in demanding to speak with the Dragon. There are receptionists to battle, forms to complete, and minotaurs to charm.
Oh, and a coup by Nigel the Demigod to stop.
But what happens when Hell's new leadership starts pulling the living into Hell before their time? When they bypass Death and threaten premature Armageddon? For Grim, there is no greater sin, and he will tear Hell apart to set things right, even if it costs his soul.
Death is coming, and Hell will never be the same.
Written in the lighthearted styles of Sir Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams, Death and the Dragon is a humorous contemporary fantasy about friendship, family, and fighting against all odds for what's right. Death and the Dragon is the sequel to Death and the Taxman, which readers and critics alike called "wildly fun," "laugh-out-loud funny," and "absolutely hilarious!"

Person
I am an award-winning author writing from the thriving cornfields of Iowa where I live with my wife, daughter, and two dragons disguised as cats. My writing journey began in the oral tradition of convincing my daughter to Go To Sleep with inventive stories. That usually backfired. After years of Just One More Story, I began transcribing my midnight ramblings in an attempt to keep my storylines straight. Children are ruthless in identifying mistakes in fairy tales. I write lighthearted speculative fiction because that's what I love to read and-this is the important bit-there's not nearly enough humor in the world. I aim to change that, one story at a time.I joined the US Army after college and, through some glitch in the bureaucracy, convinced Uncle Sam to fund my wanderlust for twenty years. I have lived in and traveled through much of Europe, central Asia, and the United States. Now that I'm retired from the Army, I devote my time to my passions of writing, traveling with my family, and finding new ways to pay my mortgage.
