MOST NOTABLE BOOK:
Dragons versus Dinosaurs is a children's fantasy adventure novel by G. L. Strytler, first self published in 2008. Dragons versus Dinosaurs features the debate about the existence of dinosaurs and dragons. Although published as part of a series, it is a stand-alone novel.
In November 2010 a short animated video was created by IndiaNIC and distributed by New Hollywood Productions out of Utah. Distribution of this video throughout the world wide web increased sales of the book by tenfold.
By mid 2011, a revised version of Dragons versus Dinosaurs was released as a Kindle e-book as an Adult Edition of Xtoriez, a new series by G. L. Strytler which is intended for a slightly older, young adult audience. The only significant difference is the death of a main character and a slightly alternate ending.
