Book Blurb
I am a traitor, victim, fighter, survivor, sister, and a daughter of a Nazi. I am Eleanor Kuhn. I will not be indoctrinated by Hitler. I fight for the truth my world has forgotten and ignored, but upon escaping the country. I stumbled into a whole new world, and I soon realized that war is everywhere you look.
With nothing but the clothes on my back and five siblings in tow, I wash up on the coast of a world I’d only glimpsed in books and the clouds of dreams: Land of the Dragon. But there’s something about this new world that rings with familiarity. Or perhaps someone . . .

The Inspiration For Land Of The Dragon
I developed this passion for writing at the young age of three years old; I remember it still so clear. I would grabe my story books and grab a blank sheet of paper, folding it in half to make it look like a book then copy the pitchers from my story book onto the folded paper.
I have always struggled with reading due to my challenge with dyslexia. Reading to me became a prison where it felt like the words surrounded me, intimidated me, a constant reminder of just how much of a failure I was, I became readings prisoner. Yet the ironic thing of it was my love and passion to write.
I felt powerless when I read, but I was suddenly in power when I wrote; I felt free and the possibilities were endless when I wrote.
In school I enjoyed learning even at a young age about the history of World War 2, it fascinated me. My next door neighbours happened to be from Germany and lived through World War 2. As a little girl I would visit my neighbours often and they would tell me their war stories and what it was like living in Germany during World War 2.
At 11 years old I received inspiration for the whole story of Land Of The Dragon through dream I often had. I would encourage the dreams by going to sleep listening to all kinds of instrumental, fantasy like music. In the morning I would get up and begain to write my dreams, I used to dress up like the character I was writing as, to inspire me to write more in their perspective.
In my teen years I started togather people of all ages into a cast, recording their voices playing all the different characters in my book trying to get some where with my book. Dreaming that perhabs I would get discovered by someone and my book could turn into a movie. I was offered a deal by someone claming if I recorded my whole book and the story with all the different voice actors that they might be able to turn it into a cartoon. I did just that only to be left disappointed, as I volunteer in Australia the offer was dropped.
For a good while, I felt really scared and discouraged to pick up a book. But later in my life I got the opportunity to volunteer for the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints in the Australia Adelaide mission. For eighteen months I did scripture study pretty intensely, I had to face my fear of reading. As time progressed I started to overcome my dyslexia, realizing strategies, and techniques to my reading challenge. A whole new world of reading opened up to me, enlightened my mind, expanded my imagination. What I had been missing out on in most of my life was finally opened to me and it felt exhilarating. I am a slow reader, but I understand the literature I am reading and for me, that is a triumph.
While in Australia Adelaide it was there that I unexpectedly met my husband Jarom Costigan, soon as I was finnished my mission we got married right away. I have always been told by men who have read my books there is no guy out there that has a character like Andrew's from my book. Well I can proudly say there is and I married him.
So far we are a family of 4 including the adults, our first born son we named Andrew after the main character in Land Of The Dragon.
