All the Dragon Slayer stories together in one volume: 'The Complete Chronicles'. It's available now on Nook, Kobo, and several other e-book platforms. Also as a paperback from Lulu. (Link from the picture goes to Lulu. Available on Kindle as five separate books - see below).
My thanks to Alison Apperley for permission to use her art work in the cover. Here's the Blurb: IN THIS WORLD, THERE IS NO ST. GEORGE. When Rimsey Stolworth is selected to be the next sacrifice to appease the village dragon, she knows that no one is coming to her rescue. All she has between her and the dragon's gut are her courage, intelligence, and a book about dragons. For most people, that would be a death sentence. For Rimsey, it's the start of a career. (Also available on Amazon as five separate ebooks for Kindle - see below). |
The Reality Escape Committee exists to offer you, the reader, an opportunity to leave your current existence behind and to go somewhere new. To experience a different reality.
For that purpose, we have here published the Minutes of a recent meeting, in which nine different realities are documented. Nine different ways of escape.
Some of these worlds may seem very different from your own. Others will appear more familiar, at first. It is hard to say which may be the most frightening.
However, the Committee would remind all travelers that these realities are not your own, and you can return at any time.
Almost everyone does.

The Reality Escape Committee exists to offer you, the reader, an opportunity to leave your current existence behind and to go somewhere else.
To that end, we have here published a second volume of Minutes, where various different realities were considered and documented under the general heading of ‘Science Fiction’.
These Minutes offer you the possibility of walking through acid seas and three hundred mile an hour gales. Or of travelling outside reality altogether and discovering how fragile it might be. Or of learning how water is the ultimate evil and holiness is dry.
There are here nine different realities, nine opportunities for you to escape. We hope that you enjoy them.
Don’t forget to come back.

Meet Ben Drummond.
Or perhaps you’d prefer not to. He’s obnoxious, cantankerous, and uncouth. Disrespectful to superiors, patronising to colleagues, and rude to everyone, he’s not a person you’d want in your home.
Unless you’ve been the victim of a crime. Because if there’s one thing Ben’s good at, it’s Crime Scene Investigation. And if you want to know what really happened, he’s your man!
Just don’t expect him to be nice about it.
Also includes the prologue from 'Can of Worms', and a bonus story...
A Scene of Crimes.
Barry Sutter is a Scenes Of Crime Officer with a big problem. He's accepted too many favours from the wrong sort of people, and now they want payback.
Which could cost him his job and his freedom. But if he doesn't deliver, it could cost him his life.
Available on Amazon for Kindle and paperback. Also available for I-pad, Nook and Kobo.

In this world, there’s no St George.
When Rimsey Stolworth is selected to be the next sacrifice to the dragon, she knows she’s in trouble. She’s the tenth to be chosen, and the other nine all died. Unpleasantly.
But she has three things in her favour – guts, brains and a book about dragons.
It could be the dragon that’s in trouble!
Comments on Amazon:
"Sprinkled with light quirky humour, interesting characters, mild social comment and bloodthirsty dragons, I heartily recommend Paul Trembling's "The Ways of Dragons" to anyone. Short but tremendously entertaining, at this price a snap."
"A short but very entertaining read. And I did enjoy the quote from the first story, when the supposed-to-be virgin sacrifice to the dragon tells her parents that she'd thought of losing her virginity so that she would no longer qualify. 'Better up the duff than down the gullet.' But anyway, as we soon learn, the dragon doesn't care whether the human is virgin, young or even female. Rimsey is a great heroine, with a dose of common sense as well as a big dose of courage. Three enjoyable tales for a tiny price."

Rimsey is enjoying her new life as apprentice to Aldors Morrin, Master Dragon Slayer. It’s steady work – there are plenty of dragons out there. Plus which she’s learning new skills, travelling widely, and meeting some interesting people. People like Sir Marnon of the Dragon Slayer’s Guild, and the fascinating Dragon Priests.
Of course, it’s not all glamour. On the down side, those interesting people are trying to kill her, and the dragons want to eat her.
But there’s one thing all of them – Dragon Slayers, Dragon Priests, and Dragons – will learn the hard way:
You don’t mess with Rimsey!
Comment on Amazon:
I have read all of the Rimsey Stories in my capacity as Editor of Welcome to Wherever - one of the perks of the job that I really enjoy - and I can fully recommend these stories, both in this book and in the first of the series The Ways of Dragons (Dragon Slayers).
The writing is smooth, the comedy wry and very funny; but the main thing that I find most engaging about these stories is the main character. Rimsey is a strong, independent woman who knows exactly what she wants, in a realm that doesn't recognised the equality of women.
I adore these books (and coming from someone who loves dragons, that means a lot!) and think that Rimsey should be travelling a lot further than just her realm - she ought to be teaching teenagers in this realm a thing or two about their gender!
I also cannot wait for the next instalment...

Rimsey Stolworth is the youngest Master Dragon Slayer in history, as well as the first woman to carry the title – and quite possibly, the best ever. She’ll need to be. Dragons are spreading like a plague over the kingdom, and appearing in some unlikely places. Rimsey will need all the skill, courage and wit that she can muster to deal with them, especially as she must now face them alone.
She’s ready.
Amazon comment:
I read the first book in the series a while ago now and had forgotten how good Paul Trembling is at telling stories.
In fact, I read this straight after the second in the series, (The Dragon Slayer's Apprentice) in a oner.
OK, they're not long books and so it didn't take long, but they are extraordinarily well written and damned hard to put down.
I'm looking forward to book four which should be coming out soon.

Dragons come in different colours.
Most are different shades of grey. Blue-grey, green-grey, yellow grey – all viscous, all dangerous, all permanently hungry. But nothing that a competent Dragon Slayer can’t deal with.
Red dragons are different. Red dragons breathe fire. It’s eight hundred years since they were last seen – but now they’re back: tougher, deadlier and far harder to kill than any grey dragon.
Even worse are the Bronze dragon’s. Terrible beasts out of legend, monsters that lived only in ancient stories. Nobody believed that they were real – until now.
But the Golden dragon is a nightmare that even the most ancient myths have forgotten. By its power the Dragon Empire will rise again, and humankind will be its slaves – or its food.
The only one standing in the way is Rimsey, First Master Dragon Slayer. And she’s never been beaten yet – by any colour of dragon.

Review on Amazon, courtesy of 'LMB':
Paul's Dragon Slayer series is awesome. I love discovering his dragonology, enjoy all the characters he has created and particularly appreciate the strong female protagonist. My husband, my three teenage sons and I have enjoyed each book and just wish he would keep more coming! A good read.

A super little book for kids of all ages.
I enjoyed reading this with my grandson who was entertained and found the story exciting. Easy to read too, for children able to read alone.
I'd definitely look for more by the same author. Recommended.
