About White Dragon:
Professor Jonah Mulray’s life is turned upside-down when his wife, Megan, is killed in a car-crash in Hong Kong. Although she lived and worked there half the year, Jonah’s never been. He lives a small, sheltered life, and his fear of flying has kept him in London. But now he has no choice but to cross the ocean to identify the body of the woman he loved.
The rich Amazon deal expands White Dragon‘s all-important reach and revenue, thus boosting its early Season 2 renewal odds. Stay tuned…
