Blurb/Synopsis:
Back blurb:
Dragons. Right. Teenage girls don't believe in fairy tales,
and sixteen-year-old Elena Watkins was no different.
Until the night a fairy tale killed her father.
Now Elena is in a new world, and a new school. The cutest
guy around may be an evil dragon, a prince wants Elena's heart, and a long dead
sorcerer may be waking up to kill her. Oh and the only way Elena's going to
graduate is on the back of a dragon of her own.
Teenage girls don't believe in fairy tales. Now it's time
for Elena to believe in...herself.
Promotional Blurb:
I’m going to create with my illustrator a book trailer out
of this. But it won’t be available for a couple of months.
The Belly of a
huge blue beast on four legs, the size of tree stumps, stood in front of the
pickup.
Elena Watkins loved the fairy tales her father used to tell
her.
Another dragon came out of
nowhere. His scales appeared to be copper. He sank his jaws into the blue
dragon.
Tales of heroes. Tales of magic.
The copper dragon bit fiercely into
the blue dragon's neck. Blood pooled on thick puddles on the road.
Tales of dragons.
The copper dragon trudged
toward the pickup. He hooked one of his talons into the windshield - and ripped
it off.
But that was when she was little. Sixteen year old girls
know the difference between fairy tales and real life. And everybody
knows...
The dragon started to
shrink.
there are no such things ...
The dragon's huge figure
melted away into a copper blob. I shrieked...
as dragons.
as the blob transformed into
the fugure of a man crouching low to the ground.
Elena knew that too. Until that night. The night a
dragon...
My father. And he was
dying.
...killed her father.
Now there's a lot more that Elena has to learn. And not just
about dragons. Because for Elena, not all the fairy tales are false - and not
all the real world is real. And if Elena is going to get through what's coming,
she's going to have to know a lot more that the difference. She's going to have
to get to know someone she's never met. Someone she doesn't know if she can
believe in.
Herself.
Synopsis:
For the love of blueberries, Elena Watkins was destined for
greatness, even though she didn’t know it. Forced to travel from home to home
every three months Elena’s life was a never ending blur of new towns and new
faces, that is, until the night her father was killed by a creature she thought
only existed in fairy tales – a dragon. With her father’s death leaving her
orphaned, Elena is whisked away to her true birthplace,
Paegeia.
Arriving at Dragonia Academy, the premier school for young
Dragonians, she begins to feel a sense of belonging in this strange world; a
school she was never meant to attend because her father was a dragon. Elena is
soon swept up in the rigor of her new life and the new set of skills she now
needs to survive: Latin, Art of War, and Enchantments.
Entranced by her new reality Elena learns about the dragons
and humans who inhabit her new home. There are two classes of dragons that soar
through Paegeia distinguished by their instinctual pretense for either good or
darkness. The distinction between these two very different species is vital to
Elena’s success in her new world because she has been marked as a Dragonian, a
human preordained to ride and tame a dragon of her very own.
With the help of her new friends, Elena is able to navigate
the complexities of her new home. Her new roommates Becky and Sammy are even
more amazing then she could have ever imaged and to top it all off, Sammy was a
dragon. Sammy’s is also the devoted sister of Blake, the most attractive boy at
school and the Rubicon; the only dragon of his kind with the abilities of all
the dragon species with a pretense for evil. Elena soon finds the love she
always wanted with Lucian, the Prince of Tith, who actively pursues Elena
throughout her time at Dragonia Academy, winning her heart with his absolute
adoration and unshaken dedication.
Unbeknownst to Elena danger is lurking behind the enchanted
vines concealing the once thriving capital of Paegeia – Etan. Goran, the
darkest sorcerer to ever practice his evil arts in the realm, has lain dormant
for over a century behind the crumbling city. The first step in his menacing
plan is to destroy the only weapon that can kill him – the King of Lion
Sword.
When the sword is stolen Elena doesn’t think twice about
seeking it; knowing deep down that it is her destiny to save her new home. She
travels to the Sacred Cavern, and discovers the nefarious actions of an unknown
man lead to the swords destruction as she follows the trail revealed in the
prophetic waters of the cavern.
Elena and her friends engage the mysterious man revealing
their existence to Goran and fighting for their very lives.

I was born and raised in South Africa, where I still live
with my husband, and two beautiful little girls. I always knew that I was going
to be a writer but it only started to happen about four years ago, now I can’t
stop writing.
In my free time, If I get any because Moms don’t really have
free time, I love to spend time with friends, if it’s a girls night out, or
just a movie, I’m a very chilled person.
My writing career is starting with Firebolt, book one with
the Dragonian Series, there will be four books in total and two to three books
that is about the stories taking place inside The Dragonian Series.
I do write in different Genres, I have a woman’s fiction
called the Pregnancy Diaries, but it would be published under another name. And
then I have a paranormal series, called the Watercress series. There are about
ten novels in that one.
So, plenty of novels to come out, so little time.
I hope you are going to embrace the Dragonian Series as much
as I loved writing them.
