At every school visit \u00a0I’ve done, there has been at least one student who has either shown me a picture of a dragon or told me they loved to draw. In many cases, the person has heard me speak, and \u00a0come to the book signing specifically to show me the \u00a0picture.<\/p>\n

I always feel like I let them down.<\/p>\n

Despite how amazing the dragon pictures are, there’s just not much more I can do than admire them, and it’s always clear from the artist’s reaction that I should be doing more. That, as the celebrity author sitting behind the table, I should offer more than just another “great job!” kind of comment.<\/p>\n

Now I can.<\/p>\n

I just launched a gallery of dragons at\u00a0http:\/\/www.dragon-run.com\/gallery.htm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The next time someone shows me a picture of a dragon, I’ll offer to take a picture of it and put it on the web site. How cool will that be? No more “yeah, he likes my dragon.” Now, it’ll be “check out my dragon on this web site!”<\/p>\n

How about you? Do you have a dragon you’d like to have appear on Dragon Run? Email it to me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
