Marla Matkin is pleased to announce the publication of her second children’s book, "A Dragon’s Tale," released at the end of 2022. Like her first book "Custer’s Mouse," this story is steeped in history.
The book tells a tale that traces its origins back to the Late Cretaceous Epoch and the dinosaurs, in this case one special plesiosaur (marine reptile), whose remains were found near Fort Wallace in northwest Kansas in 1867.
By utilizing literary license, the story is told by a fanciful young boy with a love of adventure. He leads you on a journey through time from King Arthur’s Court and dragons to the Old West and the frontier military.
But to hear the rest of the story, you will have to join The Society of Friends at Historic Fort Hays on Sunday at 2 p.m. for the behind-the-scenes details and fun activities. In addition, you will be treated to a delicious dessert bar along with an opportunity to purchase a copy of "A Dragon’s Tale," as well as "Custer’s Mouse," signed by the author.
