Author’s Note Soooo…how about that ending??? Seriously, thanks for making it this far. I’m going to do something totally different with my author’s note this time around. There’s so much to talk about so I’m breaking this puppy into sections. The Inspiration for Old Dark I’ve always liked villains. Call me sentimental, but there’s nothing better than a villain with a great back story. All of my fiction series, without exception, always begin with what if questions. What if there was a story about a villain? What if the villain was the hero of the story? What if the villain was a…dragon? What if that dragon bucked a lot of stereotypes, and he was a supreme dragon overlord? You know, those kind of what if questions. My favorite villain of all time is Long John Silver from Treasure
