Hello Eager Readers! For the next five days, I'll be sharing a post a day written by one of the authors featured in the PLAGUE OF DRAGONS anthology (Now Available!). Today's feature author is ALEXIA PURDY!
Do you have a favorite dragon from legend, literature
or film?
There are two. One is the dragon from The Neverending Story. I always loved
the concept of a “luck” dragon and I think I based Catori around this. Though
her life has been kind of rough up until this point, she is a catalyst of sorts
for those around her, and I think that as time goes on, this will stand out
more. The second dragon I admired was the one from the movie Reign of Fire. It scared me and became
truly a post-apocalyptic scenario that could frighten anyone about dragons. I
loved the way people dealt with the mythical creature and how they survived its
wrath. It made more “real world” to me.
Will there be a sequel to Lucidium?
Yes. Lucidium
is part one of the story, and I have plans to continue the series in the near
future. I don’t have a title for part 2, but I plan to extend part 1 into a
novel-length adventure if possible and then put out book 2 of the series. We’ll
see how it goes.
Dragons are inherently magical; they cannot
exist in nature. That being said, did you give any consideration to natural or
physical limitations when you were dreaming up your dragons? Why or why not?
I did make my dragons smaller than the usual sized
dragons you see in the movies. Mine was more the size of Falkor in The Neverending Story for the one reason
that I don’t believe that a person can truly shift their body into a much
larger mass than their body. I didn’t want them the exact same size, but not
gigantic like one would think of when thinking of dragons. Though several times
larger than a person, they aren’t that much bigger than an elephant. I think
keeping them smaller makes sense and works in my story better than making them
huge.

ReplyDeleteAlexia Purdy I’m big fan of yours, I was definitely sure that your Catori is somehow related to the Neverending story, at last I can prove it to my friends! How about The Witcher books? I have a strong feeling that I felt some resemblance in some ways with Witcher’s world and yours. Can you ask Alexia to comment that? In addition, Reign of Fire is awesome, how sad is that I can’t force my girlfriend to watch it. In addition if you will ever need a little bit of freelance you can try it here - prices of edubirdie.
