Inspired by her day job as a care home operations manager, Jan McGavin from Dundee has published her debut novel. It is a dream come true for Jan – combining much-needed disability representation with the magical world of fantasy fiction.
While working for Kennedy Care Group, which has care homes across Angus, Fife and Aberdeenshire, Jan wrote the novel The Stone Dragon. It focuses on the importance of celebrating individuality and accepting our unique differences, as well as promoting representation of disability in literature.
The dragon with a difference
Aimed at older children and adults, it has just been published on Amazon Kindle and follows Snuffle: a disabled dragon born without wings into a society that has no room for diversity, difference or anything that could be perceived as a weakness.
