I had not really decided I was going to write this novella but was messing around with some ideas and concepts and...well...Skander Drago, A Novella was born!
I am now a native of Santo Domingo, capital city of the Dominican Republic and I decided, as I wrote, to set something here, in my my adoptive home, which has welcomed me so well. Maybe it's a strange place to set the kind of story I am writing but it also a strange kind of place to find an Irish Brit living too isn't it?
"Skander Drago woke up in the backstreets of Sant Domingo one morning. Considering he is what is locally known as a Gringo Rico it is actually quite the miracle that he woke up at all. He was a man without an identity, without documentation, without any memory prior to waking up that morning except for fragmented and strange dreams. He soon finds that without money here, he is a no-one. He descends deep into the underbelly of Santo Domingo and comes out as the boss. Soon, it is obvious there is something very different about Skander. not just his pale skin and very blonde hair, not just his oddly coloured eyes. Something much deeper. People love him, people follow him. Men who would normally kill an upstart Gringo without blinking are following him and completely loyal to him. He is soon running his crew of three hundred until one of them suggests a completely new direction for the incredibly charismatic Skander..."
