Hi all!
Over the past nine months I have been sending polls to my newsletter subscribers so they can vote on the designs for the main dragons of Original Elementals. The final result came in this month, so I thought I would let you all know the results here!
Maelstrom (partner to Marine, the first Water Elemental) - Rare emerald green and white dragon with green eyes.
Frostbite (partner to Frost, the first Ice Elemental) - Uncommon white dragon with pale grey wings and bright blue eyes.
Shadowhunter (partner to Opaque, the first Dark Elemental) - Premier black dragon with dark purple wings and purple eyes.
Devouring (partner to Bonfire, the first Fire Elemental) - Rare black dragon with orange spots and red eyes.
Sunrise (partner to Luminous, the first Light Elemental) - Common white dragon with one pink eye and one red.
Tempest (partner to Squall, the first Wind Elemental) - Uncommon marbled grey dragon with blue eyes.
Stormburst (partner to Lightning, the first Electricity Elemental) - Uncommon dark grey dragon with green eyes.
Turf (partner to Terra, the first Earth Elemental) - Premier black, brown and gold dragon with gold eyes.
Arcturus (partner to Stella, the first Elemental to have all the Elements) - Dark blue and purple premier dragon with white wings and red eyes.
Aqueous, Hazel’s partner from Elemental Dragons
The first book, Frostbite, I will start writing November 1st for NaNoWriMo. The main character will be Franscesca and her dragon Frostbite. As well as introducing dragon partners to humans and elemental powers, they will also discover an evil force that wants to use them for their own gain. The king of the dragons, Zmei, will stop at nothing to get what they want.
When the series is eventually published I will be commissioning artists to draw portraits of each dragon like the one above of Aqueous. I just love seeing the dragons come to life on a poster! As for the book covers, they will be probably be a symbol design instead of a model on the cover. I imagine a dragon surrounded by their element.
The Original Elementals series will be ten books long. I know what you’re thinking: but why are there are only nine dragons for ten books? Well, once I get to book ten, I’ll let you know! This will be my longest series yet, and I’m both excited and nervous to start writing it! Every three books or so I will take a break from Original Elementals to write a standalone book in a different genre, just to keep my enthusiasm for the series going.
That’s it for this week, I hope you enjoyed reading! See you next week!
