View Article  How to Overcome Obstacles and Live Your Best Life Ever; Coming July 1st to a Bookstore Near You

Acclaimed Life Coach Linda C. Thompson examines life lessons in her new novel I AM MY OWN DRAGON (Atlas Books, 2007). The heroine, Lucy March, is abandoned by her father, sexually abused as a toddler, suffers from alcoholism, drug abuse, death, rape and an eating disorder. Yet she never gives up.

Lucy flees Beaumont, Texas for Austin. There, she experiences her first love and mourns friends who die. Grief-stricken Lucy tries to dull her pain through sex, drugs and rock and roll. The innocent promiscuity of youth intensifies her problems.

I AM MY OWN DRAGON is a cautionary tale of abuse, rape and violence. It questions whether we are truly living our lives or merely squeaking by in an addictive haze. I AM MY OWN DRAGON teaches us how to heal ourselves through reflection and self-discovery. Lucy’s story of adversity and redemption helps us
understand our own traumas.

I AM MY OWN DRAGON inspires us to overcome adversity and live “the fabulous life.” It breaks through emotional roadblocks and makes one realize the power within. It shows us that those who drift through life are lived by life rather than living it.

Lucy’s story provides readers with the power to change their lives. I AM MY OWN DRAGON uplifts us. It is a parable for replacing loneliness, sadness and anguish with joy, happiness and fulfillment.

AVAILABILITY: Texas, and via telephone
