About the Book

Dragon Strife is actually the first of a three book series.  It is set in a world where possibilities remain endless.  The main Strife is what the entire series is based upon.  The story takes place on a small island called Armeren and follows our four heroes, Zoda, Aeros, Nia, and Eaza, through their journey to help stop the mysterious dragon attacks on their island.  Through their journey they discover new things about their island, and also new things within themselves and create a unique friendship with each other.  The story is told by the main character, Zoda.  The world is full of creatures of myth and other unique beings.  The story touches on discrimination, friendship, love, war, and learning to appreciate other beings for who they are and what they are capable of. 


About the Author

My name is Jovanni Torres. I'm just your normal person; outgoing, funny, loves to hangout, have tons of friends and family, however I do have a great desire to be a famous author one day. I am a new author to the world of books and I like to write Fantasy Fiction and Sci-Fi. My books can be targeted toward teens, young adults, to really whatever your preference in books is. A little more about myself, I was born and raised in East Chicago, Indiana, and despite all the influences around me, I strove to be better for myself and my family. Considering where I came from I had always wanted to become something in the world. I started writing in the little "young author's contests" my elementary school held every year. My writing really took off when I was 15 in my Freshman Year of high school at Lake Central in St. John, Indiana. This was the time where I moved from East Chicago to Schererville, Indiana and did not really know too many people. I was a loner in high school due to that fact and also that I use to be very shy, so in my down time I started to just write this little story based on my liking of dragons, made up characters in my head, a world for them to be in, a conflict for them to face, and soon just could not stop writing. Of course after a while I made friends and rebuilt a social life, however I did continue writing because I was proud of my story and what I had created and had always dreamed of getting it published one day. My problem was I did not know how nor did I make the effort to find out. I was always supported by some of my family for my story, and a few friends had read the paper copy and really enjoyed it but it wasn't until 2009 that I got that little extra push from my girlfriend at the time to get my book published, she even went as far as designing the book cover for it. I did my research, found a publishing company, AuthorHouse, submitted my manuscript, and after a few short weeks soon my book was printed and published. My family was proud and most of my friends were cheering me on.
