Idol Speculations: A DragonEye Adventure
Vern vs. Godzilla?!
When Japanese investors want Vern as the mascot and protector of their new commercial center in Los Lagos, Vern thinks he’s got it made. Finally, the respect he deserves, a cushy job patrolling the store area and amusement park, and a new lair built into the artificial mountain!
But nothing is ever easy in Vern’s world. When an elder god that’s been hiding in the lakes of Los Lagos, grows under the inadvertent influence of Mundanes, it emerges as a monster out of a kaiju movie. Vern gets the help of mages, the National Guard, and even a mechadragon, but in the end, it’s up to Vern to save the day.
Can a dragon the tenth the size of a monster take on an elder god powered by cliché?

Award-Winning Author
Karina Fabian
written by Vern, of DragonEye, PI
Karina Fabian is an award-winning author of science fiction, fantasy, horror and comedy, usually in some mix that shows her quirky humor and worldview. She’s got a knack for irony and approves of my puns. Plus, she understands my unique dragon nature. What more can you ask for in an SFF author and humorist?
Much as I’d like to retain her as my personal scribe, she also writes humorous horror and hard science fiction. Her fantasy and science fiction stories have been published in novels, anthologies and magazines. Lots to keep a dragon interested, so you should have no problem finding something.
Read her bio to learn more. Then go buy a book about me.
This author is as funny as Robert Asprin on one of his good days. Who else could come up with a twelve foot Sam Spade named Vern and get away with it so brilliantly?
– Sam Staples
With the dexterity of an Isaac Asimov or Larry Niven, Karina makes the science and speculative science of the story accessible, deftly weaving it into the fabric of the story.
– T.M. Dorian
Karina Fabian doesn’t stop with well-crafted worlds. She fills those worlds with multifaceted characters and problems to solve, and deftly draws in the spiritual dimension of their struggles.
– Jane Lebak
Sometimes I wish I could take a vacation to Karina’s Brain. Spend a day on the Shores of Silliness and come back much more refreshed than from the beach.
