The Sewers – Excerpt from the Upcoming Adventure Book Zap Dragon

It’s difficult to pick excerpts! I used to think it was because these are multi-ending books but honestly, I just find it hard to pick short sections that still give you enough context for the story. Either way, though, Zap Dragon has 14 different endings, so no matter what excerpt I pick, it won’t totally… Continue reading The Sewers – Excerpt from the Upcoming Adventure Book Zap Dragon
