Dear Mr. Davis,
You probably don’t remember me, but I emailed you two years ago when I was thirteen thanking you for writing these books. Well, here I am again at fifteen two years later… THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Last night I finished reading The Bones Of Makaidos. I couldn’t bear to put it down, so I stayed up till 12 reading. Many times authors don’t finish their stories satisfactorily, you on the other hand ended the books with the best possible conclusion! I was crying through almost the whole thing.
I am baffled by your ability to form and develop the characters so well! I have tried writing stories, but they never seem to flow. I have some good ideas, but not the ability to write them. Now, it doesn’t take a dragon genius like Ashley to figure out that you are a good writer. Can you give me one or two tips for things to keep in mind when you are writing?
Ok, now for questions about the story.
At the end, in the epilogue, Enoch talked about Billy and Bonnie’s kids (!!!!!!!!!) having adventures. Are you planning on starting another series? I hope so, but I understand that it’s a lot of work!
How did you come up with the story line? When you were writing Raising Dragons, did you know you were going to write the Oracles of Fire series?
Ok, I promise that this is the last question. When Bonnie became an Oracle of Fire like Sapphira, I noticed that she didn’t have the same fire powers. Was she a sort of honorary Oracle without the flame throwing?
Again, thank you so much for writing these books. I LOVE them!!! Fictional books generally have a more profound effect on me than other non-fictional books. These books came out at the perfect time. Growing up at almost the same time as the characters made reading the story enthralling. These have helped, taught, strengthened, inspired, and amazed me. You don’t know how many times I have thanked God that you wrote these. Know that I will be praying for you always.
Your books have inspired myself and my friend Kelsea. We both do a lot of drawing (kind of like Billy) and we have both designed pictures of Acacia with her hands flaming, and Bonnie with her wings shown in their full glory also holding a sword. If you get the idea that we’re obsessed, you’d be correct.
Although I am sad that the series is over, the bookstores (Family Christian Bookstore in particular) are probably happy about it. Every time a new book would come out, I would call up every day for the next month (no joke) asking if they had the book in stock yet. They would sell so quickly it was hard to get a copy.
I hope God blesses you as much as He has blessed me through your books.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Kara S.
P.S. I’m Kara’s older sister Laura. I just wanted to let you know that your books have inspired me in my life and they have strengthened my faith and walk with God. In The Candlestone, different things that Bonnie wrote in her journal really encouraged me. All of your books have been inspiring to me. I want to be a might warrior in God’s army. And even though the characters aren’t real. They have shown me that nothing is impossible with God. I can fight evil dragons with God by my side. Thank you so much for writing these books!
