I’ve worked really hard on the story line and have been told many times that it’s a really great series and fans read them over and over. I wanted something more modern, so I wrote it. I decided to go this route because all the other dragon stories I love, when done in a fantasy world, usually plays off in the medieval times. The setting is modern but with an epic fantasy feel. The dragons I created for my world shifts into humans, not the other way around, as they are born dragons, or hatched out of an egg. If the fictional kind existed, I would probably have a colony. The series is about bravery, growing, finding herself and where she belongs, and becoming the person she is meant to be, mixed in with loads of dragons, magic and romance.

The key to Paegeia’s survival comes in the form of a formidable sword that was stolen. She learns the hard truth that once you enter you can never leave. It’s about a sixteen-year-old girl, Elena Watkins, who is taken to a world called Paegeia.

Firebolt is the first novel in the series. Now it’s time for Elena to believe – in herself. Teenage girls don’t believe in fairy tales. And the only way Elena’s going to graduate is on the back of a dragon of her own. 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. Now Elena’s in a new world, and a new school. Until the night a fairy tale killed her father. Teenage girls don’t believe in fairy tales, and sixteen-year old Elena Watkins was no different.
