Byron is a husband, a seminarian, a sandwich maker, a Moon-landing enthusiast, and a liar. For eight years, he's hidden a past from his wife, his friends, and himself. Now, that abuse is threatening to drag him into insanity. For years he's distracted his mind with obsessions over the Apollo Moon landings and religion, but the past is beginning to overwhelm him. He needs something stronger. And then, as if by providence, he's invited to play a tabletop fantasy game. The fantasy allows him to step into another world and live as a character better equipped to fight demons of depression and suicide.

Of Gods & Dragons is literary fiction, employing subtle symbolism and fantasy elements to tell the story of a man who only wants to live another day. It is written to make the reader laugh, cry, and think along with Byron as he struggles against either the higher power that put him here, or the haunting specter of oblivion.
