The Crystal Chronicles Wins Grand Prize in the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards 2017 |
Magazine Interview with StoryMonstersInk Magazine 2017 |

I am so excited to announce that The Crystal Chronicles has won grand prize in the highly esteemed American Purple Dragonfly Book Awards!!
2017 Purple Dragonfly Book Award Winners Announced CHANDLER, AZ (June 2017) – Winners of the 2017 Purple Dragonfly Book Awards have been announced and The Crystal Chronicles by Alessia Dickson has earned this year’s $500 Grand Prize as well as a First Place designation in the Youth Author Fiction category. Dickson has been writing novels since she was six years old. By the time she turned 10, she had completed the 50 novellas, and at age 16, her first book, The Crystal Chronicles, was published. The plot centers around a seemingly normal teenage girl who finds out that she’s an Elemental, a member of a supernatural race that controls the elements. With the future of humanity in danger, it’s up to her to save it. Now 18, Dickson’s work has been compared to that of J.K. Rowling and Cassandra Clare, and the judges of the Purple Dragonfly Awards agree. “If this book had been written by an adult author, it would have been an impressive debut novel,” says Joe Murkette. “Given that it was written by a young woman in her teens, it is not only impressive, but inspirational. Alessia Dickson qualifies not only as a literary prodigy, but a potential literary star.” For more information on the 2017 Purple Dragonfly Awards click the links below! www.dragonflybookawards.com/purple-dragonfly-contest-winners/#2017-purple-dragonfly-winners |
