Author Jenny S. Burke

It's not every day that I find authors who write very interesting books, especially when the books are for children.  This past year I have had the privilege of reading a series from internationally read author Jenny S. Burke who writes as J.S. Burke.

​Jenny has worked as an artist, author, and marine biologist, studying creatures of the dark abyss and diving on coral reefs. She lives in Georgia with her family and rescue pets.
And let me just tell you, this award winning author has put so many details in her stories but it does not crowd out the story itself. I love the detail she puts in her worlds, strong action, peppered with vivid details, recipes, landscapes, sense of danger and urgency; this author has it all.  Take a look.

​​"Dragon Dreamer" series is a science-based fantasy with dragons and an undersea world.  In book one, The "Dragon Dreamer", the stars Arak, a dragon, and Scree, an octopus quickly invite you into their world.  Jenny delivers on such colorful detail, you will almost feel like you are right there living with these two adorable characters.

Book two, ​​"Dragon Lightning" the mini-saga continues and includes author experiences.  Jenny says, "When dragon Arak squirms through a miserable water crawl in a cave, that’s me. When Scree-the-octopus skims above a coral reef or a ship is caught in a fierce storm, that’s me."
Dragon Lightning can be read as a stand-alone book. It's layered for readers age 9 to 99.  ​"Dragon Lightning" won a Pinnacle Award for Best Science Fantasy and a SIBA award for Best Children's Book. It's an upbeat story suitable for all ages. ​
