Tony’s Comments (group member since Dec 13, 2012)

Tony’s comments from the Q&A with Tony Chandler and Virginia Chandler group.

It is a RED dragon, fully mature. And a female, so she's around 35 feet long. She's battle tested... and angry!

We are planning a DOUBLE sequel... I don't think that's ever been before?? Virginia will take Edlund and they are off... and Owain, Katja and "new" characters take off for the Russias... The Black Dragons of the East!

Ah yes, I recall that moment 20 years ago, over a few beers I think it was. Virginia does pose our NEXT QUESTION to the group - How could men and women slay a dragon with only normal weapons - sword, bow and arrows, spear etc. And although a mature dragon could fight tooth and nail as nasty as a T-REX... it can also fly and worse... breathe fire...

Friends... put yourself there, a cold night with the stars above your head... and in the night you see a large movement and hear the breathing of a dragon coming toward you... how would you slay it???

Where did Beowulf originate? UK or Northern Europe? And... what is the SECOND oldest tale about slaying dragons, oh wise one versed in dragon lore? he he he

Angelique! Kewl! I am not familiar with these books. Please upload a cover to our book shelf so we might add to our TO READ list! Thank you! Check out the awesome 'dragon fighting' photos my sister uploaded!

Mark, thanks for mentioning them. When you have a minute, upload the first two books to our Book Shelf for this group, others may want to read them soon. Yes, Bard is up there too! The Hobbit was a great read for me, back when I was a teenager, many moons ago.

FYI, although our Q&A does not officially begin until DEC 21, I just thought I would kick things off. My sister is the dragon GURU in our family --- but we realize there are many great books about dragonslayers and we look forward to hearing about your favorite. You may have questions about dragons in general. My sister may be able to answer. Virginia is well-versed in all things DRAGON! Not to mention, an avid SKYRIM player.
=======================================================
Virginia Chandler has been studying dragon lore for over 20 years, reading legends and myths that stretch from the Far East, across the Caucasus, north to the frozen lands, Europe, and even North and South America!

My personal favorite is Beowulf. I added a book I've read three times over the years. This warrior fought and defeated Grendel... but he also fought a fire-breathing dragon! Have you read Beowulf yet? ( maybe saw the latest CGI movie, which was pretty good too )
