BLOG TOUR: As She Ascends by Jodi Meadows
Dragon Merch + Giveaway!

See below for the full schedule

 Today I'm thrilled to be joining the As She Ascends Creative Blog Tour with a look at Dragon Merch. 

 If you love dragons as much as Mira does, you might just want to dragon theme your life, and I'm here to help you towards that goal. 

Now, you can go bold and direct with your dragon ware choices, such as this incredible Bath Tissue Tyrant - Commode Dragon,
Purchase HERE

Or this gorgeous Blue purple 3D leather dragon bracelet - your own Crystal or LaLa on your wrist, 
Purchase HERE
Or, Mira's favorite, dragon figurines,
Purchase HERE
However, if I were going to dragon theme my life, I'd decorate with dragon scales. Here are 10 of my favorite dragon scale merch items - 

First up are three wearable items for you (or your favorite pet): 

 1) Dragon Scale Necklace. I could definitely see Mira rocking this necklace during her fancy-dress-speach-giving-days. Purchase HERE
2) Dragon Scale Leather Dog Collar. Fancy up your favorite dog with one of these. Purchase HERE
3) Dragon Scale Leggings. Mira's wardrobe gets a lot more functional in book two, and I could see her picking up these leggings. Purchase HERE

Second, are items with which you could decorate your house: 

 4) Dragon Scales Side Board. This truly is a gorgeous piece that would glam up any space. Purchase HERE
5) Dragon Scales Throw Pillow or Table Runner. I love the greens and blues in these items. Purchase HERE and HERE
Third, are three items that you could make yourself, if you'd rather create your own dragon products. While Mira doesn't have much time for baking or crafting, author Jodi Meadows is an amazing knitter (check out the giveaway below):

 6) Dragon Scales Cake. There are surprisingly a lot of gorgeous dragon scale cake examples out there, largely thanks to Game of Thrones. But they also definitely work for Mira's love for dragons. Find HERE
7) Dragon Gloves with Crochet Scales. I especially love the colorful scales on these. Find HERE
8) Dragon Scale Keyhole Scarf. I have a feeling this project would take a while, but look how pretty it would turn out! Find HERE
Finally, I'm featuring two items that are a lot more directly dragon-y than some of the others, but no less gorgeous in their use of Dragon Scales: 

 9) Dragon Egg Soap. You could put these in your bathroom with your commode dragon - ha! Purchase HERE
10) Dragon Scales Purse. This is one of my most favorite featured items. I especially love the dragon wing closure. Purchase HERE

See my thoughts on book 1 Before She Ignites

 MIRA, THE HOPEBEARER

 Mira Minkoba is on the run with her friends after a fiery escape from the Pit, where she’d been imprisoned for defending the dragons she loves. And she wants answers. Where have all the dragons been taken? Why are powerful noorestones being shipped to the mainland? And did the treaty she’s been defending her whole life truly sell out the Fallen Isles to their enemies

 MIRA, THE DRAGONHEARTED

 As her connection to the dragons—and their power—grows stronger, so does Mira’s fear that she might lose control and hurt someone she loves. But the only way to find the truth is to go home again, to Damina, to face the people who betrayed her and the parents she’s not sure she can trust.Home, where she must rise above her fears. Or be consumed.The second page-turning novel in Jodi Meadows’ Fallen Isles trilogy scorches with mysterious magic and riveting romance as one girl kindles a spark into a flame.

 MORE ABOUT THE SERIES
  • ACCESSIBLE YA FANTASY AT ITS BEST: The stakes are even higher in the second book in this epic fantasy trilogy, which is complete with a romance to root for, deadly games of deceit and betrayal, and a fiercely imagined world that keeps you guessing until the explosive ending.
  • COMPLEX FEMALE PROTAGONIST: Facing crippling anxiety and compulsive counting along with her dire circumstances, Mira is a compellingly flawed and refreshingly unique fantasy protagonist.
  • DEVOTED TO DIVERSITY: Writing inclusive books has always been important to Jodi, and the Fallen Isles series is no exception, with characters of many different backgrounds represented on the page.
