Hi All, Many thanks to all of you who submitted names for the "Name the Wand" contest! There was a lot of creativity on display in your suggestions - impressive! I've now had time to give each entry careful consideration. And although there were several that were very close indeed, I couldn't settle on one that felt like just the right fit for the stories. I hate to have to say that, but at the same time, I do want the name that finally appears to have just the right ring to it, and make you faithful readers say, "That's it! Perfect!" With that in mind and at heart, I've decided to extend the contest until December 15 (this year, 2019). This will give you even more opportunity to apply your creativity and inventive spirit. It also gives you the chance to read Book Two in the series, Dragons of Earth, if you haven't already, for even better insight and involvement with Celine, Fianna, and their friends and foes. And, as always, you may suggest as many names as you like. By the way, a few of you submitted some back story to go along with your name suggestions. Details like the wand's composition, origins, special powers and the like. I've loved every one of these! Such details aren't necessary or required, certainly, but they will help in making my ultimate choice—and they're good exercise for your "creativity muscles," too; always a good, good thing. Just as a refresher, here is the wand you'll be naming: And your prize will be one of these handsome dragon sculptures—your choice! How should you submit your entries? Just go to the "Contact" page and send me a message using the form you'll find there. I'll receive it right away.
Good luck and good naming! Lorna

“The Bone of Morga”, EarthBender”, “IronTooth”, or how about “Wanda McTwig”?

(Name) -The Wand Of Abandoned Wishes - Celine and Fienna walk into a geode cave and in the cave they find the wand in a circular room in between two geode mounds, one hanging from the ceiling and one on the ground. The wand is hovering in between the mounds and there’s a spotlight on the wand. When Celine grabs the wand, the wand talks to them in a whistling voice and says “I am The Wand Of Abandoned Wishes you may use me throughout your quest but once done you must bring me back here to rest. And may another abandoned traveller use me as they wish.” (End of seen)
