About the Author
Alex Sapegin is a Sci-fi and fantasy author who lives in the far eastern city of Khabarovsk in Russia with his wife, two kids, a pet parakeet and an overly confident tomcat.
An electrical engineer by education, at the same time he is making time to follow his joy crafting stories.
Alex had a special flair for storytelling from as early as his high-school days, when his peers would eagerly listen to his action-packed stories with their many twists and turns. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before his friends and family persuaded him to put pen to paper, which proved to be a life-changing decision.
Becoming the Dragon is his first epic fantasy novel. It was originally released in 2010 and instantly became a bestseller all over Russia, the post-Soviet Union and Eastern European countries.
When Alex is not crafting his wonderful stories, he enjoys spending time with his children, skating or fishing.
