Dragon Diaries Omnibus

The Dragon Diaries omnibus is coming to Kickstarter, in ebook and hardcover. Here’s a peek at the new cover, with dust jacket and case laminate.

Dragon Diaries HC omnibus editions

This huge chonky hardcover (it’s almost 800 pages) includes all three books in the series, along with some new illustrations and more. The campaign will include character cards, a pretty bookmark, and have a tier also with all the hardcover Dragonfire omnibus hardcover editions. I plan to launch the campaign in June.

The Dragon Diaries are Available Again

The Dragon Diaries trilogy has been republished at the major portals. You might recall that I was thinking of updating the series for a new 2024 edition, but I’ve decided against that. There will be a hardcover omnibus edition offered through Kickstarter, probably in June, but the content will remain just the way you love it already.

Flying Blind, book one of the Dragon Diaries paranormal YA trilogy by Deborah Cooke

Zoë is the Wyvern of the Pyr—the one female dragon shape shifter with special powers.  But Zoë is at the bottom of the class when it comes to being Pyr, and her powers are AWOL. Worse, there’s no reference book to consult, and the last Wyvern is dead….

Everything changes when Zoë’s best friend is bullied and Zoë reacts. Before she can blink twice, her inner dragon is loose, and she’s suspended from school and headed to a shape shifter boot camp with guys she’s known all her life. But soon she’s doubting her powers—and even some of her friendships.

Zoë quickly realizes she has to master her powers yesterday—there’s danger ahead and boot camp is a trap. A secretive group, the Mages, want to eliminate all shifters and the Pyr are next in line—unless Zoë and her friends can solve the riddle and work together to save their own kind…

Winging It, book two of the Dragon Diaries YA paranormal trilogy by Deborah Cooke

Zoë Sorensson yearns to come into her powers as the only female dragon shifter. But being part of two worlds is more complicated than she expected. It’s bad enough that she’s the target of the Mages’ plan to eliminate all shifters—she also has to hide her true nature from her best friend Meagan, a human. For her sixteenth birthday, all Zoë wants is one normal day, including a tattoo and a chance to see hot rocker Jared.

Instead, the Pyr throw her a birthday party but ban Meagan from attendance, putting Zoë in a tight spot. Things get even worse when Zoë is invited to the popular kids’ Halloween party and Meagan’s left out. Zoë knows the party is a trap laid by the host, an apprentice Mage. When Meagan gets a last-minute invite, Zoë must save the day—and her best friend—without revealing her fire-breathing secrets…

Blazing the Trail, book three of the Dragon Diaries paranormal YA trilogy by Deborah Cooke

It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and Zoë Sorensson’s love life is heating up. Cute, loyal, and understanding, wolf shifter Derek is pretty much the perfect guy. He likes Zoë, and he knows what it’s like to have to keep a secret. Yet, Zoë can’t help but wish it was rebel rocker Jared asking her to the Valentine’s dance instead. But Jared’s too busy playing hot and cold with her heart, calling Zoë his dragon girl one minute and then taking special interest in her best friend the next.

Zoë is just about ready to breathe fire, especially once she uncovers a new threat that targets her friends. Although Zoë thought the Mages were defeated, they’re back and have invoked an old spell to give them new power—they plan to eliminate all shape shifters on the night of the big dance. Now, Zoë must lead an alliance of young shifters to battle the Mages and figure out exactly what—and who—she wants, before it all goes up in smoke…

Read Maeve’s Book of Beasts Free

Starting today, Maeve’s Book of Beasts is a free read for followers at Ream. This introduction to the world of DragonFate is being serialized – followers will be able to read one chapter per week (each Friday) starting today.

Maeve's Book of Beasts, book 1 of the DragonFate novels, a series of paranormal romances by Deborah Cooke

Careful what you wish for…
A mysterious book given to Sylvia by a handsome stranger plunges her into a hidden world, awakening her ability to see a paranormal realm and the Others who live in it. It also makes her a target for the Dark Fae who want the book back—and who will kill her to reclaim it. The stranger, Sebastian, becomes Sylvia’s reluctant defender—but his ability to influence her dreams is almost as dangerous as the fact that he’s a vampire. On the run with Sebastian, Sylvia learns about the plan of Maeve, Queen of the Dark Fae, to eliminate all other paranormal creatures. Possession of the book means that Sylvia is caught in the middle of a war between the Dark Fae and the Others, with a predator as her only ally. If she can decipher the book, will that help the Others to fight for their survival? Should she trust Sebastian? Or does the vampire who ignores all the rules have a secret plan of his own?

Maeve’s Book of Beasts introduces the world of DragonFate and its characters. You can continue the series and read the stories of the Pyr and their fated mates as they battle the Dark Queen. (Next up is Dragon’s Kiss, which is Kristofer and Bree’s story.) You can also read the serialized spin-off stories: A Spell of Blood & Angelfire is Sebastian and Sylvia’s romance and will launch in 2024. Deadly Beauty is the planned serialization of Mel and Theo’s story, though it has no launch date as yet.

Sebastian insisted on having his story told on its own. 🙂

The Dragon Diaries Update

Flying Blind, book one of the Dragon Diaries paranormal YA trilogy by Deborah Cooke

The Dragon Diaries is a paranormal YA trilogy and a spin-off from Dragonfire, that was originally published in 2011 and 2012. The series follows the coming-of-age of Zoë, the daughter of Erik and Eileen, who is anticipated to be the new Wyvern of the Pyr.

Since the rights reverted to me from Penguin, I’ve only made ebooks of the series available. There are still some of the remaindered Penguin paperbacks available in the world, but to date, I haven’t created new print editions.

Since Dragonfire is set in real time, Zoë was conceived in Kiss of Fate and born in 2008, so she turns 16 in 2024. The Dragon Diaries is set in 2024, although I had to guess what the world would be like twelve years in the future. I failed to anticipate Covid-19 🙂 and hadn’t yet written the big finish of the Dragonfire Novels. I did anticipate smartphones, although in the books, they’re called “messengers.”

In 2024, there will be new editions of The Dragon Diaries. I’ll update the story to reflect what has actually happened in the last twelve years – this will be pretty minor, so don’t worry about huge changes to the story you know and love – and there will be new print editions. There will be new individual trade paperbacks, and a new illustrated hardcover omnibus, too. I’ll be launching those new print editions with a Kickstarter campaign early in 2024, along with the revised ebooks.

In August, I’ll be unpublishing the current ebooks from the retail portals, so if you’re in the middle of reading the series, finish it up now!
