SQUEAKY HATCHLING
THE DRAGON DOC TALES: A NOVELETTE
A protective mother dragon, a sick hatchling, and a noisy medical mystery. Just another day at the clinic for the Dragon Doc.
Veterinarian Jordyn Blackstone doesn’t just treat your average pets — her patients come with scales, wings, and a habit of scorching her eyebrows. But when a distressed hatchling arrives squeaking like a creaky door, Doc knows she’s in for a special kind of headache.
Doc has never encountered a dragon malady like this before, but whatever it is, it can’t be good. With the baby’s life on the line and his overbearing mother lurking in the shadows, Doc has to unravel the mystery quickly — before things get too heated. Literally.
To make matters worse, Doc’s eight-year-old daughter, Ember, insists on helping with a risky procedure. Now, Doc’s got a sick hatchling to heal, a grumpy dragon mom to appease, and a pint-sized assistant with a knack for complicating things.
But hey, what’s a little danger when you’re a doctor for dragons?
Dragon enthusiasts and fans of House in the Cerulean Sea, Legends and Lattes, and The Lady Trent Memoirs will be captivated by this heartwarming sequel to the Dragon Doc’s first novel, Wings and Wounds.
