I love that sign! Love the Dragon book cover too. I just recently ordered a dragon book mark from an etsy seller (yes for paperbacks) that has a dragon...she says in her add it is Dragos from Thea Harrison's book. This same seller has a beautiful line of bookmarks for each of JR Ward;s Black Dagger Brotherhood books.

Whether or not I use it for a book mark is immaterial. I just wanted that dragon!

Ok, I LOVE that sign, lol.


I'm a big genre reader - fantasy, mostly. I love to read a well written book, period. I really enjoy it if a writer takes what has become trite and overused and makes it fresh and new. That takes a great deal of skill and it helps to refresh those tropes that get beat up by bad authors.

It's an Oberon small journal cover that I adapted - they weren't making covers for Sonys, though I understand they do now. If you search the Sony forum under "Oberon" you'll see specific posts about the Daily Edition options.

I like dragons, and would even like to see one as a lead role in a book, but I don't like the typical dragon...KILL! thing that's common, I'm a fan of things atypical and different witch i guess is why it's been hard for me to find a good fantasy book to read

I'm tempted to ask about the world you inhabit, where Fantasy is not about
"things atypical and different"; but as to the dragon stories discussed so far
I wouldn't describe any of them as "the typical dragon...KILL! thing". Aside
from a T-shirt, and my own preference for a little purging of the more mushy
romantic characters we seem to see all too often, the dragons mentioned
tend to avoid excessive human consumption.

Luck;
Ken

It never hurts to ask -- most Etsy sellers LOVE to be contacted for work.

What about you guys?
The only good dragon is a read dragon.

I'm a big YES on dragons. Naomi Novik's series is one of my current favorites though the Pern series started it all for me.
