Conquering the Mouth of the Dragon

About the Book

We all know individuals who, though seemingly naïve about the shrewd ways of the world, ascend to the top of their professions and find peace and satisfaction in their personal lives. Admiring—even envying—such people, we wonder what makes their lives work. Can it be that they are tapped into an unseen power that guides them from within?

Conquering the Mouth of the Dragon is an adventurous novel, teeming with suspense, mystery, and intrigue. Based on actual events, the characters are drawn from real people who lived through situations much like those described in the book. Constance McKenna, a feng shui designer for a major corporation in San Francisco, travels to China to attend a seminar. Her odyssey begins the moment she leaves her house on her way to the airport; mysterious and frightening events follow at a rapid pace. Her faith in herself and her belief in the powers that guide her life are tested again and again as she travels through unfamiliar places.

The cast of characters in Conquering the Mouth of the Dragon is as cryptic as the circumstances surrounding Constance’s journey. None is more baffling than Lang DeBjon, for whom Constance alternately feels suspicion and attraction. Readers—even those unfamiliar with metaphysics—will easily identify with the feelings of fear and determination interspersed with hopelessness. It is a story of triumph over adversity, a story of success.

About the Author

Estralia was viewed as weird by many of her teenage friends and later her colleagues in her adult life. Some saw her as eccentric-dancing to the tune of a different drum. The way she spoke about people and situations was different than-and foreign to-her peers and colleagues. She used words like energy, vibrations and intuition to express business situations that were usually expressed in more “logical,” Wall Street jargon. She was often asked, “What do you mean the energy didn’t look or feel right?” Even so, Estralia had many friends who like hanging out with her. Estralia’s ability to see and feel the electromagnetic field surrounding people and objects inspired her to study the healing arts, where she found that she could manipulate the energy fields around people and cause what appeared to be a shift in how they felt.
