I introduce you to the most enigmatic beast ever: the Komodo dragon. Of course, the Komodo is not a dragon; in fact, it is a lizard, a large and impressive lizard mind you. I have often wondered why this lizard was called a dragon and decided to educate myself.
I found a wealth of information regarding this creature. It seems the Komodo has a burning bite; in fact, people who have been bitten by this giant have complained of excruciating burning pain. Could this be why this lizard was labeled 'dragon', even though he does not spit fire or fly? — You be the judge!

Our book is a memoir of my husband who had a journey with ALS and he wrote his book about his journey and faith. He thought it may help someone else who gets this terrifying disease and his purpose also was to raise awareness about the disease to help find even 1 drug that might help. His memoir was written in conjunction after his passing and requested my son Adam and myself help finish and publish the book.
