Hmm, putting on our thinking caps here. ‘Servant of the Dragon’ …. Servant …. Dragon… DRAGON.. of course! Lets have a huge scary, bird! It makes complete sense. We’ll have wizards, swords men and damsels fighting it. One word to descibe my idea, epic!

This is probably not that bad… though I could just be really tired.
‘Saga of Lord of the Isles’ – Seriously? You couldn’t think of a better title for your saga.

Maybe there was another book called Attack of the Giant Bird which was never published so they thought they might as well just reuse the cover. Alternativly there was a terrible mix-up and Attack of the Giant Bird has a cover showing someone serving a dragon.
Oh i bet they felt silly when they realised that mistake!

The dragon in the book is actually a pre-humanity reptile man wizard. And they do fight a giant bird, but not a dragon.

Fair enough, but if your book has ‘Dragon’ in the title and YOUR last name is Drake, I think it behooves you to fit a dragon on the cover somewhere. I mean, this cover already screams “GENERIC FANTASY!” Why not go all the way?

RE: Blurbs
Dear Sirs and Madames,
Just once, please, could you give us a book that DOESN’T say, ‘Nth book of The Trilogy‘, or ‘Xth book of the Ylogy’, or ‘Z books together in Our Omnibus‘ but instead says something along the lines of:
THIS IS THE ONLY BOOK HE EVER WROTE, AND THERE WON’T BE ANY MORE, IT’S JUST THE ONE, AND YOU CAN ENJOY IT BY ITS LONESOME SELF.
My sincerest thanks in advance,

I know this is nit-picking, but why, oh why does the I in the author’s first name have a dot/tiny diamond/star/cross/thingy over it when it is clearly a capital letter?

@Jon K.: More to the point, how come the D’s don’t one?

@anon (#10): Well, the D in Dragopi already got that treatment, so repeating it would just be overkill.
By the way, what’s a dragopi? Oh, that’s supposed to be an “n”? Never mind….
