The Dragon Doc Tales: Book 1
by
Doc thought treating grumpy house cats was challenging — until her latest patients torched everything she thought she knew.
When Dr. Jordyn Blackstone stumbles upon an injured dragon, she can’t resist helping the creature. Before long, dragons from far and wide seek her expertise, and they’re not exactly the kind to sit still for shots.
With dragons suddenly very real and no dragon-care textbook in sight, Doc can’t help but question her sanity while she develops dragon medicine on the fly. Amidst dodging horrid dragon breath and fiery sneezes, Doc discovers that the dragons trust her with not only their own lives, but the survival of their entire species. No pressure.
Doc rises to the challenge, even though the work is tough, messy, and dangerous. But dealing with disgusting dragon snot is the least of her worries. To protect her extraordinary patients from being hunted to extinction, Doc must keep them secret — or risk not only their safety, but also her career, reputation, and clinic going up in smoke.

N.J. Gallegos on Author of The Broken Heart wrote:Combining the caring veterinary themes found in All Creatures Great and Small and other books by James Herriot with well-constructed farce and fantasy, this pleasant tale is a rare treat… an absolutely wonderful book that readers are sure to enjoy.
A. R. Grimes on Author of The Wyldling Dream Series wrote:The Dragon Doc’s Wings and Wounds takes the reader on a fantastical journey through the trials and tribulations of veterinary medicine for the most magnificent of beasts. Dr. S. K. Burkman wields a fiery sense of humor that leaves the reader in stitches while also tugging at the heartstrings. Be prepared for a wild flight… and don’t forget to pack the burn salve.”
A thoroughly charming account of a courageous and capable veterinarian's fantastic experience in treating ill and injured dragons alongside her more traditional patients amid the mundane events of everyday life. Well-written in an engaging style with attention to all the details I find most interesting about dragons and doesn't portray them as ... well, monsters.
