Australian author Kylie Chan concludes her action-packed contemporary urban fantasy trilogy with Blue Dragon—a most satisfying end to her electrifying tale of ancient gods and malevolent demons, of love and extraordinary destiny. Once again, the author of White Tiger and Red Phoenix draws from Chinese mythology and ingeniously combines magic, martial arts, and Taoist philosophy with paranormal romance, as heroine Emma Donahoe must battle supernatural evil in numerous foul forms in order to save her beloved husband, a 3000 year old Chinese god whose power is being drained by living in the mortal world. A breathtaking blend of urban fantasy and Kung Fu, Blue Dragon and the other books in Chans spectacular series will delight fans of Lilith Saintcrow, Liz Williams, Karen Chance, Devon Monk, Ilona Andrews, and any fantasy lover looking for something distinctly different.

About the Author
Twenty years ago Kylie Chan married a Hong Kong national in a traditional Chinese wedding ceremony in Eastern China. She and her husband lived in Australia for eight years, then in Hong Kong for ten years. She has seen a great deal of Chinese culture and has come to appreciate the customs and way of life.
Three years ago she closed down her successful IT consultancy company in Hong Kong and moved back to Australia. She decided to use her knowledge of Chinese mythology, culture, and martial arts to weave a story that would appeal to a wide audience.
Since returning to Australia, Kylie has studied kung fu (Wing Chun and Southern Chow Clan styles) as well as tai chi, and is now a senior belt in both forms. She has also made an intensive study of Buddhist and Taoist philosophy and has brought all of these together into her storytelling. Kylie is a mother of two and lives in Brisbane.
