Zen Cho - If at First You Don't Succeed, Try, Try AgainLet me give you a story of ascendance. Or, rather, a story of repeatedly failed ascendance, following an Imugi (Korean Lesser Dragon, some kind of giant serpent) in its repeatedly thwarted attempts to become a Dragon and enter the gates of heaven. It's a story of persistence, of human love, and of the coming together of two very different world views; and it's great.

Zen Cho is a Malayan author living in the UK - her website is linked below, and I would suggest you check it (and her other work) out.
