L is for The Last of the Dragons Up next in the April 2017 AtoZ Challenge, I’m happy to share a really sweet story called The Last of the Dragons by English author and poet Edith Nesbit, originally published in 1925. That is the cover of The Last of the Dragons by Edith Nesbit, with art by Peter…
I is for The Inheritance Cycle We’re about a third of the way done with the April 2017 AtoZ Challenge, so let’s keep this dragon train going! While I myself never read the Inheritance Cycle books written by Chistopher Paolini, I certainly recognize their position in the YA fandom. I just loved this image of Eragon and Saphira by…
D is for Dragonriders of Pern Continuing the April 2017 AtoZ Challenge, I’m going back to one of my absolute favorite series, and in all likelihood the reason I’m writing my own dragon novels: Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern. The Dragonriders of Pern is the title of the omnibus edition published in 1978 of the combined…
C is for Conan the Barbarian Next in the April 2017 AtoZ Challenge, let’s look at dragons in the lore of Conan the Barbarian. Creating this post, after a friend suggested it for my “C” topic this year, was my first real exposure to any of the Conan the Barbarian media. But the research was fascinating, and I’m excited to…
Back in 2011, I was taking a Medieval Civilization class and reading Dante’s Inferno when, as luck would have it, an amazing art exhibit came through the Minneapolis Institute of Art. It was Michael Mazur‘s series based on Inferno, and I was really blown away by his artistic interpretation of each of the Cantos. I…
I thought I’d go back and revisit an artist I shared back in February that I really loved, so this is Here there be Dragons by professional artist Ben Wootten. This is a great picture, and I hope you click to see it full-sized, because each time I look at it I find another dragon…
Had a busy, busy day today, so this should be short and sweet tonight. (I love vacation!!) This is Cursed Dragon by deviantartist kaijubrainsDA, and the artist describes this cool piece as “A dragon whom is cursed to turn to red stone.” This artist doesn’t give a lot of detail about themselves, but I’ll certainly share…
This month’s Random Writing piece is a short 900-word story I wrote called The Harp, as an assignment in my Children’s Literature class back in October 2013. I’ve taken the time to do quite a bit of rewriting and polishing of this story in the last week, and I’m pretty happy with it now. I was inspired…
Happy Fourth of July to all my American readers! This is a beautiful piece I found called The Dragon’s Ire by American professional artist Chandra Valli Paetsch, posting as theperian. I love the colors of the dragon, and I think it looks just like fireworks! The detail on the town below is also so amazing, and…
Since I didn’t get it posted last night, today I’ve got another awesome image to celebrate the epic Season 6 finale of Game of Thrones. This is Visenya on her dragon Vhagar by U.K. professional artist John McCambridge. This isn’t an image of anyone alive in the current series, but a famous Targaryen from days of old…
