The Story Behind This Book

W. David MacKenzie, age 49, resides in Edmonds, WA where he finds writing is only one outlet for his many creative talents. His latest business endeavor is Clever Mojo Games, a board game design and publishing company. CMG is already finding success through its popular Alien Frontiers board game and David hopes that the upcoming Princes of the Dragon Throne card game will also be a hit. David began writing in high school and this book of short stories has been written through the years since. In 1992, artist and author, James Gurney, published Dinotopia: A Land Apart From Time. The beautiful artwork and the lost culture described in its pages captured David's heart and mind and inspired him to seek Mr. Gurney's permission to launch a Dinotopia Fan Club where members would create characters and tell stories set in his marvelous world. Mr. Gurney gave the club his blessing and David, via the DFC, put out almost two year's worth of quarterly fanzine issues with great stories and sketches from others who fell in love with the land of Dinotopia.
