    The Last Dragon by Daryl Devore

    Genre Medieval Fantasy Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): G

    Writers write in seclusion and dream of readers loving their books. Your interest in my work puts a smile on my face, warmth in my heart and will keep me writing. I am an eclectic writer. I write romance but in many genres and heat levels. Sweet romances – The Gift, Christmas Notes, Dancing in Circles, and others. Hot romances – Desires, Love My Fate, Two Truths and a Lie and many more. There are also compilations where I have bundled romances together to heat up your evening – Hot and Hotter, Love a Billionaire and Capturing His Heart.

    The Last Dragon is my first foray into writing medieval fantasy romance and may I say I had a blast writing it. There are knights, dragons and faeries all set in a mythical, medieval kingdom millennia ago. When I wrote it, it was a single book, but my muse had other ideas. Tomorrow on Romance Lives Forever, the second book in the series is featured – A Voice in the Air. The series is now titled Long Ago, and a third book is currently being written, but it has no title yet as I am only on chapter 2. But so far there is a faerie, a prince and some wyverns.

    I do not have a conventional newsletter. I have an author group where I can chat with my readers about my books and my life and not fill up their inboxes. Below, I have included the link to the FaceBook group, but if you prefer not to use that site, I have a duplicate group on MeWe. And – if you prefer not to use that, I will provide a monthly email version of the newsletter. I want to make it as easy as possible for you to connect and learn about my books and my writing.

    Available in the following formats: Mobi (Kindle), epub (Nook + other readers), PDF

    Two writers in one. Daryl Devore writes hot romances with sexy heroes and strong heroines. Victoria Adams is Daryl’s alter ego when she’s inspired to write sweet romances with little to no heat.
    Daryl lives in an old farmhouse in Ontario, Canada, with her husband, two black cats – Licorice and Ginny-Furr Purrkins – and some house ghosts. Her daughter is grown and has flown the nest. Daryl loves to take long walks on her quiet country road or snowshoe across the back acres, and in the summer, kayak along the St. Lawrence River. She has touched a moon rock, a mammoth, and a meteorite. She’s been deep in the ocean in a submarine, flown high over Niagara Falls in a helicopter, and used the ladies room in a royal palace. Life’s an adventure and Daryl’s having fun living it.

    Daryl, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about The Last Dragon.

    The Last Dragon by Daryl Devore

    Genre Medieval Fantasy Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): G

    What do dragons, knights and romance have in common? Grab a copy of multi-published author Daryl Devore’s medieval fantasy romance – The Last Dragon and discover the answer.

    A sorcerer craving dominance merged with a dragon, the power overwhelmed him causing him to split into three dragons. Demora ruled thought, but was lost in time. Yidithe offered protection, shining like the light of the sun. Ayrradex craved chaos, revelling in destroying souls.

    Many knights died, attempting to slay the devil beast. One knight, Prince Hawkyns, did not fear death. He’d lost everything. Away on a mission when Ayrradex attacked his father’s kingdom, Penrythe, Hawkyns returned to find his noble father – feeble and defeated. His wise mother – crazed. His beautiful wife and unborn child – dead. Only a pile of ashes remained for him to bury. He knelt before his King and vowed to slay the devil-beast or be slain.

    Derry was born with powers that terrified her parents. They delivered her to a nunnery to be raised in secret. Jathe, a wise sorceress, discovered the young girl and trained her to one day use the secret hidden in her soul.

    Legends spoken around campfires hinted the sole way to destroy Ayrradex was when the hearts of a knight and a golden dragon became one. But after a vicious battle with Ayrradex, the golden dragon was thought to be dead.

    Can Prince Hawkyns’s bravery and Derry’s powers end the reign of the devil-beast’s terror?

    Tell us about yourself as a person.

    What makes you different from other people?

    I am me. I dislike doing what other people do. A salesclerk telling me – Oh, everyone is wearing that – will make me put it back and walk away.

    What is your personality type?

    Introvert. I sit quietly and watch the world. But once I trust you – we will be friends for life.

    What was your favorite childhood game?

    Don’t actually think I had one. I took dance lessons and spent my free time at class or practicing at home.

    What is your favorite subject to talk about?

    Wow! These are tough. I guess it would be my daughter. Who just got married the Saturday before Christmas.

    What is your favorite book?

    Anything by Dorothy L. Sayers. She’s a British mystery writer. If I absolutely had to choose 1 – I’d probably say – Gaudy Night.

    What is your favorite meal?

    Shrimp smothered in butter and Old Bay seasoning. For dessert – a luscious chocolate mousse.

    Tell us about yourself as a writer.

    What made you want to be a writer?

    Nothing made me. I just am. I was that annoying kid in school who liked writing essays. I found it easy.

    What are your favorite books for writing advice?

    Not books – people. When I have a writing question, I prefer to ask a human for help. It’s more personal and I get a faster response.

    What are your favorite reference books?

    Duck Duck Go. It is a search engine that doesn’t track its users. There is nothing I can’t search for there.

    When you go to a convention, what kinds of things do you take along?

    Never been to a convention. Last conference I signed up for was 20+ years ago and I backed out a month before as the Back Street Boys were performing in town and my tween was about to lose her mind!!

    What’s your best advice for a new writer?

    Find a critique group. It’s not easy. Try locally. Try online. But find one. You cannot edit your own work.

    What are your writing goals for the next year or so?

    I don’t make goals. I’ve got a WIP I’d like to finish. If I get it done – I get it done. If not…

    Know the Hero from The Last Dragon

    Here are some fun questions to help us know your hero.

    It’s late, he’s bored. What does he do?

    Orders wine and food then puts his feet up close to the fire and discusses politics with his father, the king.

    What kind of food would he impulse buy if hungry?

    Buy? He’s a prince. Food is ordered whenever he wishes to eat.

    Describe the kind of clothes he prefers to wear.

    A simple tunic and leggings, easier to train in than the awkward suit of armour and less pretentious than formal court attire.

    Does he know how to fix things?

    He can right a wrong. He can slay a demon. But, fix a broken wheel on a wagon or shoe his horse, he has no clue.

    He tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.

    When he had lived 12 summers, the devil demon dragon, Arraydex, attacked and he grabbed his sword and attempted to fight it. Being too young and too weak, the dragon quickly bested him. He was saved by…spoiler – can’t tell you.

    How does he act around children he doesn’t know?

    With proper court manners and compassion.

    What is he like first thing in the morning?

    When Hawkyns awakes, he is ready to face the challenges of a new day.

    How does he handle things when in a “proper” social situation?

    As a prince, he has courtly manners and is appropriate in every situation.

    Valet or takes care of himself?

    At the castle, he has a servant who looks after his needs. He is currently looking for a new squire to aid him in his duties as a knight.

    Necktie/cravat or open shirt?

    What is a shirt? He wears a tunic when training with the other knights.

    Sleeves buttoned or rolled up?

    In fancy court dress, there are buttons, but in his day to day wear his sleeves are rolled up to facilitate sparring or battle.

    Powdered wig or natural hair?

    Natural hair. Kept at proper length when at court, but often it is shaggier when he is away on long military campaigns.

    Carriage or horseback?

    Horseback on his faithful steed, Gladur.

    Thanks for helping us get to know your hero!
