PRLog (Press Release) - Sep. 5, 2012 - "Readers who love tales with Asian characters and themes especially love Amira," Dee said.

Leaving a lonely existence on the mythical island of Penglai, young immortal Amira enters the mortal world and struggles to understand and trust others. Are they befriending her because they need her help, or because of her beauty, or do they truly care for her? Can she trust and love a young mortal man, or is he deceiving her? Caught in a battle between well-organized bandits and the residents of a peaceful valley, she ultimately must decide if she's willing to risk her own destruction to save those who've befriended her.

Reviewers love the characters and story. "I couldn't put it down . . . all the characters are very well done." "The story is wonderful—a coming of age tale." (goodreads.com)

Written in the vein of folklore and stories from East Asia, Amira—Immortal Daughter from Penglai appeals to readers interested in Asian mythology and culture, or anyone who enjoys a memorable fairytale. This 63,000 word novel is available in paperback and multiple e-book formats.

Dee has lived and traveled in and around Asia, and speaks fluent Mandarin. His knowledge and background in Asian history and culture is readily apparent in this entertaining book. Now residing in northern Utah, USA, Dee is also the author of The Power of Powers: Volume One of the Huaxia Journals, written for a similar audience, and Borneo Fever, an adult action/adventure novel.
