DRAGON SONG


by Shirley McCoy

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

GENRE:  Paranormal Romance

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

BLURB:

 

Dragons rule the world. Princess Morgan Talbot of Esterhaven knows one rules her. Rownar, the most powerful dragon of all, forced a magical bond with her at a tender age. He intends to corrupt her soul, then consume her body. Now of age, Morgan knows she must take back her life and defeat Rownar, and all his kind. Connor O'Malley is the greatest dragon slayer alive. He spends one memorable night with Morgan, never thinking to see her again. Until he does. He is deeply shaken to learn the woman he fell for is a princess and determined to conquer Rownar herself. When Connor offers to train her, Morgan reluctantly accepts. Now an epic battle will begin, for a princess's life, her soul, her kingdom, and the world.

Excerpt:

 

“You make it sound so simple.”

 

“It is.” When she widened her pretty brown eyes at him, he shrugged. “At a certain point, it becomes that way. After you have trained and done the best you can to prepare, then all you can do is place your fate in the hands of the gods. Entrust yourself to them and do what you are meant to do. I—” He stilled. “Quiet,” he snapped.

 

At first, she heard nothing then a rushing wind reached her ears. An instant later, a gorgeous sapphire dragon bulleted out of the mouth of a remote cave. In the distance, the dragon banked and wheeled in the darkening sky. He circled above the mountains a few times, then descended back into his dark lair.

 

In all her life, Morgan had seen only two dragons, Rownar and one other. She could not help her fascination with this one, particularly since they were about to kill him. Or at least try to. 

 

Abruptly, she couldn’t quite manage to move. “Connor, either this dragon is a lot bigger than I remember dragons to be, or it is larger than you said. Are we really going to try to kill that?”

 

He tossed her a roguish grin. “Yes, we are."

AUTHOR Bio and Links:


 

Shirley McCoy grew up in Baton Rouge, LA and started writing at an early age. Always talkative, when she was eleven she began to put her thoughts on paper, writing stories inspired by some of her favorite writers, Laura Ingalls Wilder and Madeline L'Engle. As she grew older, she developed a love of romance and in 2009 she decided to try her hand at paranormal romance. The result was The Smoke and the Flame and its sequel, The Wind and the Fire. The Smoke and the Flame is the first novel she has ever completed, although she has written several unpublished screenplays.

 

Shirley graduated from Nicholls State University where she majored in History and minored in English. Since graduating (she doesn't like to think about how long ago that was) she has worked at some of the best libraries in the Baton Rouge area. She makes her home there and enjoys spending time with family members that live in town as well as with those that live out of town. She also loves seeing movies, reading, and going to the park with her niece in her free time.

Thanks so much for featuring Dragon Song!

Shirley McCoy said...

Good morning! Thanks for taking a look at my new release, Dragon Song! Please post comments, questions etc. for me if you like. A question I have is what format do you like to read your books in, traditional hardcover, ebook or audio? As I am also a narrator, I would love to know what readers prefer. (Tried to post earlier but don’t see it. I apologize if this is duplicated.)

We appreciate you featuring this book today. Thank you.

Marcy Meyer said...

Thanks for sharing. This sounds good.

traciem said...

What elements do you believe every good book should have?

Shirley McCoy said...

Great question, Tracie! For me a good book must have characters that I come to care about and a plot that intrigues me. I also love books that defy genre, such as Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series. Time travel, romance, great characters, history! Those books have all that and I love them!

So, I wanted to close out my blog tour by saying what I can’t say enough, thanks. To my many terrific hosts, to Goddess Fish and to everyone who checked out Dragon Song at any of the stops on the tour. This was my first blog tour and it has been a blast! To those who are asking what’s next for Shirley, well a novel called Welcome to Niceville. Think Wanda Vision, think Stepford Wives, think the 90’s movie Pleasantville and mix them all together! For more updates, just check my website or join my email list. Anyway, thanks so much!!!
