January 16 is “Appreciate a Dragon Day!” I didn’t realize until today, but I included dragon characters in every series of my children’s books. How could I not have known that? Dragons, I’m sorry! I really appreciate you! In appreciation of my dragons, I am holding a contest to determine the favorite. Vote for your favorite dragon in the comments below and your name will be entered in a drawing to receive a free book of your choice from my Duck and Friends series, Purple Elephant series or Sam and the Dragon. You don’t have to vote for the dragon in the book you’d like to win. So… drumroll, please… the contestants are… .
Duck’s Friend Dragon (Ahhhhchoo! Bless you!)
.
Diana the Dragon (Prince Carmel’s colorful friend)
.
Medieval Mars Dragon (the newest addition — welcome to the family!)
.
The Friendly Enchanted Dragons EXtraordinaire (normally known by their initials) from The Purple Elephant: The Journey Home (no photo available)
.
Which one is your favorite? You have until 5pm PST Sunday 1/18 to vote. Winners will be announced Sunday night.

Appreciate a Dragon Day was established in 2004 by author Donita K. Paul to celebrate the release of DragonSpell. On her blog, Ms. Paul lists lots more wonderful ideas on ways to celebrate her holiday.
