New Metaphysical Novel Inspires Readers To Find The Dragon The Power...

We all have a dragon that burns deep inside, because we all have the power to make anything we want to happen, happen.

That's one of the main messages of 'I Am My Own Dragon' (June 2008), a metaphysical, 'fictional memoir' written by sought-after motivational speaker and accomplished businesswoman Linda Thompson. Recently introduced at Book Expo America 2008 in Los Angeles, 'Dragon' is a story of hope and transformation that has the power to "jolt the reader out of complacency," writes the Clarion Review.

Written as a conversation between the reader and main character Lucy March, 'I Am My Own Dragon' asks, among other things, to examine the 'roadblocks' that may be holding us back from living the fabulous life we were born to live.

Through Thompson's compelling prose, Lucy asks readers to think of 'Dragon' as not purely her story, but to become a part of it: "We are creating this (story) together," Lucy says. "I have written the words. You bring the music. What happens page-to-page is between you and me. One on one. Personally."

Abandoned by her father, sexually abused as a toddler and devastated by the death of a lover, Lucy's life at the start of the novel is focused on forgetting. She forgets through alcohol, drugs and losing herself in others.

When she is violently raped by the man she once thought she'd spend her life with, she becomes depressed, despondent and almost willing to give up--until she meets therapist Johanna, and undergoes a transformation that ends up changing both women's lives.

'I Am My Own Dragon' questions whether we are truly living our lives or merely going through the motions, teaching us--through Lucy's story--how to heal ourselves through reflection and self-discovery; how by finding the dragon within, we can overcome adversity and live a remarkable life.

"Every one of us has within ourselves the dragon's strength, the dragon's wisdom, the dragon's fire--even the dragon's ability to soar," Thompson says. "We just don't always know it. And sometimes, we have to overcome tremendous odds and challenges to figure it out."
