An Artist's Rendition

Today I was given some drawings, done by an amazing artist named Ronald Adams, who took two of Dragon's Blood characters and brought them to life in his own imagining of what they would look like.


Here is the first image ever done of the Dragon Child, Aidan. I love the look and the edge to this drawing, although it is not exactly how I imagined him to look, it is still a very powerful image, and gives Aidan the look of a tank, or hulk individual. Aidan is strong and well built, but this particular type of body build I would have more aimed towards his big brother Liegar. lol Again this was the artist's interpretation of the character, and I was completely blown away. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Dragon Child.

Next, Ronald Adams presented me with a picture of Aidan's love, Skylet. He actually told me this was just a picture he threw together at the last minute.....I don't know about you guys, but this "thrown together" peace of work is better than my "sit down and draw for hours" work. I loved the look and her gear, Adams has a very edgy style to his drawings, and again, while they are not exactly what I had in my head for the characters, I do absolutely love the pic and his rendition of them.
So here is a first look at a few of the characters in Dragon's Blood. I hope to have every character's image available at some point, and have many different looks and styles of artwork for them all, but for now, here's Aidan and Skylet, as seen by Ronald Adams. Enjoy!

First Interview!

Today I'm blessed to be giving my first interview for Dragon's Blood with a wonderful publishing house, Firefly & Wisp Book Publishing. I will post links to the interview when it is available and keep everyone posted.

I'm feeling extremely nervous, never having given an authors interview before, with the exception of a few awesome readers looking to know a little more about the story, and its characters. Today I'm hoping to have Aidan's courage, Skylet's hope, and God willing Vizas's smooth and clear speaking ability. lol

Wish me luck everyone!
