When Mell Eight was in high school, she discovered dragons. Beautiful, wondrous creatures that took her on epic adventures both to faraway lands and on journeys of the heart. Mell wanted to create dragons of her own, so she put pen to paper. Mell Eight is now known for her own soaring dragons, as well as for other wonderful characters dancing across the pages of her books. While she mostly writes paranormal or fantasy stories, she has been seen exploring the real world once or twice.

Hi! I was just rereading Stealing the Dragon (and also Melting the Ice Witch) for the nth time. I was wondering if we will ever hear again from Tori and Jerney, or are you done with their story?

There will be at least two Tori and Jerney stories in there, including one when Tori reaches 50. There won't be another full book, but I promise the short stories will satisfy. I just have to finish writing them first!

Hi! I've been rereading & completing the different series of yours I have, my favorite being The Dragon's Hoard. I just find those sweet, silly, sparkly focused dragons really adorable. But a few questions keeps going through my mind like a hamster on a wheel: how do the dragons start their hoard, well how do they pay for their sparklies? Where do they get the money from, assuming they use that?

Mell Eight I love my Dragon's Hoard series too! Thanks so much for reading.

A dragon starts their hoard when they hatch with their hatching gem. That gem is the first and most important piece in their hoard.

It used to be harder to get sparklies. Dragons were quite proficient in mining way back when, but in current times they don't have to dig for gems any longer. So many dragons died in the war and their hoards have been slowly claimed by other dragons. If there is a gem that no dragon wants, someone might sell it for some coin. Sometimes the castle would gift Eldest with a gem or a statue as a token of their continued alliance.

Also, if you remember from the books, sometimes an older dragon will gift a part of their hoard to a younger.

Tori is a special case because he gets an allowance from the castle. Most dragons take a few hundred years to amass a decently sized hoard.

I hope I was able to answer your questions. (less)

Mell answered S's question: hope you are doing well. JUst wanted to let you know I loved Chef, Prince and Spy soooooo much. Binged the audible books this past week.

I am so happy to hear you enjoyed the series, particularly the new audio books!!! Unfortunately, for the moment this series is complete. I need to focus on some other stories for the moment, but I will never rule out the potential that I might be ins See Full Answer
