About the Book
THE DRAGON WAKES UP!
What do you do when the dragon wakes up? You don’t run for cover… you read this book cover to cover. Because this dragon is friendly!
The book you hold tells a big story. A Chinese farmer breaks his shovel on the head of a fierce warrior. Experts then find an 8,000-man clay army underground. And if that isn’t enough, the Emperor’s tomb yields up a hidden treasure of ancient documents.
In First Emperor: Tales from the Jade Room, you travel 2,000 years on a flying dragon and witness the founding of China. You see spies, intrigue, adventures, conquests, demons and dragons. Your willing hosts are the Emperor’s ‘trusted’ servants, the eunuchs. They saw it all - the sacred and the sordid, and are eager to tell you exactly what happened to the man the world calls First Emperor, the richest, most powerful mortal of all time, and the main character in one of the great reads of our time! So come in. Your story is waiting!
About the Author
Conrad Squires is a writer and poet who lives halfway up a hill that overlooks Short Beach and the Boston Ships’ Channel in Nahant, Massachusetts, just north of Boston. He is retired, having owned and managed a direct mail fund-raising firm for over 25 years. (His nickname among fund-raisers is “the guru”.) The greatest benefit of retirement is that it’s given him time to finish First Emperor, an excursion into the life of China’s greatest warrior, the man who essentially created modern China 200 years before Christ.
Con Squires is also the author of a chapbook of poems, Dancing with the Switchman (Puddinghouse Press, 2001) and a textbook, “Teach Yourself to Write Irresistible Fundraising Letters (Bonus Books, 1993).
