I love how you added Hua in your first cover and how he was so important to Ping but i don’t understand why Hua had to go in the second book.I love Ping!
LOVE,
Jessie
Jessie,
Glad you like it. It wasn’t me who put Hua there, though, it was Sebastian the artist who drew it.
I always wanted Hua to be on the first cover, but they wouldn’t put him on.
Hua leaving was the way the story worked out.
i like your books they are good.
noodle,
thanks.
I am nuts about the dragonkeeper trilogy!
If I had to number my favorite books from 1-10
Dragonkeeper would be #1.
I even got my best friends into reading it.
But my favorite part is in Garden of the Purple Dragon where Ping, Kai, Hua, Jun and Dong Fang Suo Defeat the necromancer.
Love Dragon Dawn too!
LOVE Hannah.
Hannah,
thanks for that. Glad you liked that part. That was a hard part to write.
I love this new cover. It’s funny how this is how I imagined the characters to look when I read the book. Sebastian Ciaffaglione has obviously done a wonderful job.
Ben,
I agree. Sebastian did a great job.
Ugh. I like the book Dragonkeeper, but I’m not done yet. I think I would enjoy it more if WE DIN’T HAVE TO WRITE ABOUT AND TAKE TESTS ALL THE TIME! But it’s a good book.:)
guy (I’m not writing all that other stuff),
I understand. I certainly didn’t write the book so people could take tests about it! It’s supposed to be just to read for enjoyment.
I take it that you don’t like the cover. Is that what the ‘ugh’ meant?

Ohh and don’t make comments that spoil the book I havn’t read it all yet
I finished it
and im liking the garden of the purple dragon
Georgie,
I like both sets of covers too.
Eray,
Glad you are enjoying the books.
I try not to make comments that give away the plots. If people leave comments that give too much detail about the plots, I edit them out.
Hi Carole,
I am from PLC which you visited on the 2/6/09. I really enjoyed your visit and I really enjoyed Dragonkeeper and I really enjoy reading The Garden of the Purple Dragon. The set is one of the best series I have read.
Sarah,
I’m glad you enjoyed my visit (and the books). School visits can be scary sometimes, but I enjoyed that visit too.
