A narcissistic personality is a lifelong clouded behavior considered to be a serious mental illness with some individuals so violent, they are a threat wherever they go. Author Roger C. Garber was diagnosed and has to live with this disorder, so he has written this book as a creative outlet. Look into the mind of a narcissistic sociopath who is such an antisocial brute and needs to be feared by all. If you are his friend or family, you have the best protection you will ever have. If you are an enemy of his, he is more dangerous than the most violent dream you've ever had. About the Author Roger C. Garber was a commercial truck driver for over thirty years. He worked in all areas, driving over the road from coast to coast, including local, statewide, dispatch, safety, and as a truck driving instructor at a local truck driving school in Arizona. He and his wife have three dogs, eight cats, and two rats.
A vivid and descriptive novel in search of a feature-length, animated film, Fire and Fur might more properly be called "Smart Dragons, Dumb Choices." It is set in the pre-human Gobi desert and draws on Chinese mythology. Its major charac¬ters are dragons and cats. Of course, the cats do speak (often caustically) since a few dragons are interesting enough (cats can still speak but no one is interesting enough to talk to anymore). Fire and Fur's plot concerns the dragons' terraforming the Gobi from sea to land (historically accurate) in a desire for power and amid excessive pride. In doing so, they release an ancient enemy and their bane, the Azghun Demons, that had driven them into the sea in the first place. The problem is that the dragons have grown lazy and dumb, and while they once had a cadre of sorcerers to call upon, they now only have one. The last sorcerer dragon, Ao Rue, is something of a misfit, and his efforts for dragonkind are, perhaps, either very generous or very foolish. He is aided in a major way in both his own troubles and his challenges by the blunt and clear-headed Mei-chou; she is the cats' first-of-the-first and their shaman (it appears). Further, and also central to "Talon and Claw" is a star-crossed, poignant love story as Ao Rue seeks a fulfillment he cannot have with a vain and young female dragon, N -kua.
