"Stroking the Dragon"

Since time immemorial, the Dragon Strokers of Gnarr have kept the peace in Tardblivia, riding their beasts hard but with the gentle firmness of all beast masters. But when Lactose the Intolerant, scourge of the Four Nations dispatches their ranks with a debaucherous and debilitating plague, the few that remain are forced to seek the help of heroes...

Neither Nectar the Barbarian nor his stalwart companions has ever touched, much less stroked a dragon before, but if Tardblivia is to be saved from a devastating assault, they must muster the sum of their knowledge and strength, band together and display the craftsmanship and teamwork for which they are renowned. Can Nectar and his intrepid band uncover the mysteries of this incredibly proud and secretive art and once again erect the flag of victory over the forces of darkness??

Hollywood -- The Sci-fi Channel announced today that they have optioned New York Times Best Selling Author, R.L. McSterlingthong's novel, "Sky Shark."

This is exactly the type of non-sci-fi that the Sci-fi channel is looking for!
- Rex Jaqaz, Vice President of Programing at the Sci-Fi Channel, stated at the press conference.

Jaqaz went on to laud McSterlingthong as one of the premier writers of our time, adding that the scribe brings a fresh creative perspective to the network at a time when Science Fiction as a genre, and Hollywood in general have become stale and uninteresting. "Sky Shark" will begin shooting in Vancouver, BC, in June.

With the help of the McSterlingthong Foundation, R.L. was able to adopt the entire Papoposii Tribe in Eastern Guatemala. His first goal will be to bring them refrigeration followed by courses in reading English so that they might partake of his amazing literary talents.
