"Dragonlight" Book Giveaway!


This week, the

Christian Fiction Blog Alliance

is introducing

DragonLight

(WaterBrook Press - June 17, 2008)

by

Donita K. Paul



ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Donita K. Paul retired early from teaching school, but soon got bored! The result: a determination to start a new career. Now she is an award-winning novelist writing Christian Romance and Fantasy. She says, “I feel blessed to be doing what I like best.”

She mentors all ages, teaching teenagers and weekly adult writing workshops.

“God must have imprinted 'teacher' on me clear down to the bone. I taught in public school, then home schooled my children, and worked in private schools. Now my writing week isn’t very productive unless I include some time with kids.”

Her two grown children make her proud, and her two grandsons make her laugh.

Donita is an award-winning author of the Dragon Keeper Chronicle series including DragonFire and DragonKnight.

When not writing, she is often engaged in mentoring writers of all ages. Donita lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado where she is learning to paint–walls and furniture! Visit her website at www.dragonkeeper.us.



ABOUT THE BOOK
The fantastic land of Amara is recovering from years of war inflicted on its citizens by outside forces–as well as from the spiritual apathy corroding the Amarans’ hearts. With Kale and her father serving as dragon keepers for Paladin, the dragon populace has exploded. It’s a peaceful, exciting time of rebuilding. And yet, an insidious, unseen evil lurks just beneath the surface of the idyllic countryside.

Truth has never been more important, nor so difficult to discern.

As Kale and her father are busy hatching, bonding, and releasing the younger generation of dragons as helpers throughout the kingdom, the light wizard has little time to develop her skills. Her husband, Sir Bardon–despite physical limitations resulting from his bout with the stakes disease–has become a leader, serving on the governing board under Paladin. When Kale and Bardon set aside their daily responsibilities to join meech dragons Regidor and Gilda on a quest to find a hidden meech colony, they encounter sinister forces. Their world is under attack by a secret enemy… can they overcome the ominous peril they can’t even see?

Prepare to experience breathtaking adventure and mind-blowing fantasy as never before in this dazzling, beautifully-crafted conclusion to Donita K. Paul’s popular DragonKeeper Chronicles fantasy series.

If you would like to read the first chapter of DragonLight, go HERE


"DragonLight is a delight, but I wouldn't expect anything less from the marvelous Donita K. Paul. I heartily recommend her books to all ages who love inspirational fantasy and wonderful creatures. Ms Paul not only supplies imagination and talent, she provides heart and soul. Another winner!"
~KATHRYN MACKEL, author of Boost


"Donita K. Paul is amazing! DragonLight has the allegorical depth to satisfy the most discerning adult seeking spiritual depth, yet it is fun enough to fascinate a child. This book will enthrall, uplift, and if allowed, change lives--as we are gently drawn to realize that each of us is flawed and must have patience with other flawed believers."
~HANNAH ALEXANDER, author of Double Blind

MY REVIEW:
This is one book that I am happy to remind you about - a great series and a great new addition to it. Since I previously did a review you can check that out at here.

This time I am pleased to offer a copy of the book for giveaway - so leave a comment telling me about your favorite fantasy series or why you'd like to try out Donita's series and be sure to leave your email. I'll draw for a winner - good luck!

I feel as though I've been left hanging, just from reading the little teaser here. Seems cultures go in circles: war, recovery, attack by a new enemy and war again. During the little scene we were able to see, looks like recovery is in full swing but a new enemy has been building up for their attack. My breath is almost taken, waiting for the page to turn after just now finishing the first chapter...
WOW! Please enter me, I've not read a fantasy for such a long time, I'm ready to dive in to this one. I'm hooked already! Thanks.

My favorite fantasy series is he original modern era--The Lord of the Rings. But there are several otehrs lately that I also love, including The Dragonkeepers series, Karen Hancock's series, Bryan Davis' two series, and Cynthia Hinck' The Restorer. I would love to see all Christian teens have a chance to read Donita's books, which is part of the reason I'd love to win a copy.

I absolutely love fantasy, It's hard to find good ones that don't involve wolfs, small children getting lost, or haunted houses. Have a great day/night/afternoon/cookie cake

If it's not too late, I'd like to throw my hat in the ring to win this book. My kids and I have read the 4 previous books together and this book is on my list of "new acquisitions," but I've had to budget my purchases--there are so many out there I want! :-)

I love fantasy--my favorites are Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, Wayne Thomas Batson, Donita K Paul (of course), Brandon Sanderson, Geralyn Beauchamp's Time Masters, Karen Hancock, Steven Lawhead, Sharon Hinck's Restorer series...there's more, but I'll stop for now. So many books, so little time! Right now I'm working through Michael A. Stackpole's Fortress Draconis series.

Thanks for the contest!
