The Dragon Project – Artists In Tow


Now, for your delictation, I present:


The artwork for The Lonely Dragon with information about the talented artists.

Brueberon could see bright flashes like small zig zags of lightning 
at the windows of the room where Kastaspella mixed her potions.


Alexander is 7 and his favourite food is fruit. His least favourite character is Batman “because he's cheesy.” He would very much like to be Lloyd Minga.






Clarissa was 11 going on 12 and hated the fact 
that her hair was a big ball of fuzz...



Lilly, aged 8, loves grapes. Her least favourite characters are “the wicked witches from Stardust because they are so creepy.” She would most like to be a zoo keeper.








 
He sighed every now and then and every time he did so puffs 
of smoke like candy floss would drift from his nostrils and 
float high up into the sky to join the clouds already there.


Mackie, one of the youngest in the group at age 6, has donuts at the top of his list of favourite foods. Matilda is his least favourite character because he doesn't "like the movie." He wants, most of all, to be like Darwin.






It's really not easy to make friends when you're feared and 
loathed just because of the way you look.



Oscar is the same age as Mackie and adores sweets. He dislikes the character Vilgax from Ben 10  “because he is bad. He would also most like to be Ben 10.






"A dragon crying.” you say quite shocked. 
 "Why on earth should a dragon cry?"




Izzy, aged 8, is very partial to sausages but not so keen on the orcs from The Hobbit. She would very much like to be Harry Potter.








Vandabar was standing in the doorway. He was very tanned - a 
bright orange in fact, wearing an Hawaiian shirt and bright blue 
tie-dyed balloon trousers. Behind him trailed his suitcase.


9 year old Adam loves bangers and mash. He doesn't like David Walliam's Awful Aunty because “she is actually evil.” He would most like to be Steve from Minecraft.





Brueberon sat on the arm of the chair. “I'm so sorry Clarissa. I wish 
I knew what to do.” He hopped onto her dress and hugged her 
as best as he knew how. He'd never hugged anyone before so 
this was an experiment.


 Annabelle, aged 8, loves her mum's fresh pesto and can't resist a bit of chocolate. Miss Trunchbull from Roald Dahl's Matilda is her least favourite character and she would most like to be Honey Lemon from Big Hero 6.







Have you never had hot chocolate before dear fellow?” 
asked Mr Fieldmouse.



11 year old Grace loves mashed potato. Her least favourite character is “Voldemort because he kills lots of people.” She would most like to be Kate from The Mysterious





In a Long Upon A Time World of mystical creatures there 
lived a dragon like no other. He was huge, with a large puppy dog face

 



 
Alfie, aged 9, loves pizza but not Horrid Henry because "he's naughty."  He would most like to be Frodo Baggins from The Hobbit.

 
My grateful thanks to all the artists at Kids Do Art who made it possible for me to illustrate The Lonely Dragon.

And also thanks to Anastasia and Dimitri who agreed to my crazy idea.

Guest Post: Creative Recharge

Lindsay Bamfield started writing fiction about 10 years ago. She has written a number of short stories and flash fiction pieces and has been published in Greenacre Writers Anthology , Voices from the Web 2012, The Best of Café Lit 2012, Mslexia, Writers’ News and Writing Magazine.  She has won prizes in Writers’ News , Writing Magazine and Words with Jam competitions and has been shortlisted in others. She is currently re-working her first novel with advice from an editor and has a second novel on the back-burner.  How do I recharge my writing batteries? I’m not sure I’m the right person to answer this as my batteries are still somewhat depleted after illness and debilitating treatment, but my writing activity, although still less than ideal has bounced back to some extent. It was only after being ill that I understood just how much energy writing requires. Exhaustion does not engender creativity. After a frustrating dry-spell when I wanted to writ...

Why I love living in Herne Hill

While chatting about current reads with my friend Bev, she mentioned how much she enjoyed reading Bill Bryson’s The Road to Little Dribbling .   And how too it had made her think about the reasons she loves living in the UK.   So, considering it a blog worthy idea, I asked her to write a guest post (to feature later this month). Now however, it’s my turn. My residency in the UK was totally unplanned.  Back in 1987 my parents and I were all set to move to Canada where two aunts and an uncle live.  But the Canadians decided not to grant us entry so hey presto, lucky old Britain got us instead. After our arrival we lived in a variety of areas: Edgware, Arsenal, Fulham and finally Herne Hill.  But it is most definitely Herne Hill where I find I want to stay.  When I’m on my travels it’s the place I get homesick for if things are not going according to plan on my journey. And why exactly is that? ONE I have 4, yes 4 parks in my...

#Amreading

So, it’s six months into this crazy Goodreads 100 book challenge I set myself and I’m happy to report that I'm now two books ahead.  This is largely due to the fact I’ve also been reading children’s books at breakfast.  Without this saving grace I believe I’d be whimpering in shame at this point.  “But is this reading of children’s books thing allowed?” I hear you all asking. The simple answer to that is: YES As I work with children, primarily instructing them on how to improve their creative writing, it is only fitting that I check out the books deemed to be totally read WORTHY by the kids and also by those who reckon they’re in the know. It will come as no great shock to you that I have disagreed with the Know-It-Alls from time to time but NEVER with the kids. However, this post is not about that.  What I would like to do now is give you a run down of the 5 books I’ve found most enjoyable thus far.  You would assume there’d be at ...
