Posted by solitaireparke

Hello Everyone! I hope you are all having a great weekend! I apologize for going on hiatus for the last two weeks…I won’t trouble you with specifics, but let’s just say that I was caught up in some family drama. But I am back and raring to go!!
- THE EMERALD DRAGON CHARACTER CONTEST WINNERS!
Due to technical difficulties, there was an unfortunate delay in announcing the winners on the blog, but I would like to extend a big CONGRATULATIONS TO…

Here is Joe’s character and dragon:
Character: Sergei Rasputin Cosmonov; Sergei is the son which resulted from the unions of the first woman turned demon Lilith and her mate Samael. A repented demon spawn who has been alive to witness the rise and fall of every human civilization. He stands over 6 feet tall with a sinewy rangy build black hair, hazel green eyes and in his true form skin red as blood. He prefers to handle things diplomatically but is no stranger to violence. He is known to wear a wide-brimmed hat and trench-coat made from a leather-like material. Think of a demonic looking Liam Neeson.

A Call To Potential Dragon Riders!
Posted by solitaireparke
I want to thank those of you that have been following the release of each chapter of “The Emerald Dragon” every Friday! When I started writing the story of Tanis and Demi, I hoped I would bring an exciting story that encompasses exciting Fantasy elements such as, Dragons, Warriors, Hell Hounds, Demons, Vampires, etc. and give you the ability to visit the world of Dragomeir from the comfort of your computer chair!
It is with your support and feedback that this project will come to fruition! But having said that, I am excited to send out an invitation to all potential dragon riders…
You are invited to enter “THE EMERALD DRAGON” CHARACTER CONTEST!!

Two people will win a chance to create a character (dragon rider) and dragon that will be featured in the book! Anyone who wants to participate would need to come up with the character’s name, origin, their dragon’s name, the species of dragon, as well as color, age and gender. The winners will not only have their characters immortalized in the story, but I will also mention the winners on the dedication page of the book, send them a signed copy when the book is released and of course, mention them on my blog as the winners of “The Emerald Dragon” Character Contest!
The guidelines and specifics will be posted on this blog on June 30th!
