A dragon is terrorizing Texas - charring the landscape, tainting the water supply, gobbling up cattle, and generally making a nuisance of itself. Not some overgrown desert reptile, mind you, but a real, live, fire breathing dragon. And nobody from the rough-and-ready border town of Draco has the slightest idea how to stop it, until a courageous young woman seeking fame and adventure in the Wild West discovers its astonishing secret.

To be released at today's BC meetup at 1:00 PM

Caught at the Meet-Up today - thanks! Ok, first I have to say the cover art is hilarious - a girl in a Mexican-style dress is holding up some giant red worms to the dragon (who looks a lot like an overgrown lizard blowing green smoke through his nostrils)! I took this book and I will actually try to read it - I'm hoping I will find it humorous and not stupid - we'll see!

This is why I love Bookcrossing - you just never know what you'll find ! :=D

I vacillated between being repelled and being intrigued by the campy looking cover art before I actually picked it up and read it. (By the way, those are red chili peppers in the girl's hand, not worms like I first thought! lol). And guess what? you really can't judge a book by its cover - this one is definitely better than it looks. I'm not saying it's great - it is a western fantasy, a genre I never knew existed, have never read and well honestly, does not generally appeal to me. However, it was an entertaining tale although since it is fantasy, you do have to suspend belief and just go with the story. And I thought it was very well-written - I really think that this writer was almost too good for the story - her writing style would seem to be more suitable to something a little more highbrow to me. I even thought the ending was not too bad - this is the part of most books that I think authors have the hardest time with and it's the part that I am usually the most unsatisfied with. So, I did not regret the time I spent reading this somewhat unusual (for me) book and I would try this author again (especially if she ever decided to go into non-fiction and write about her experiences as an army nurse in the Vietnam War). Thanks for sharing this book!

Putting this one into the ABC bookbox - enjoy! give it a chance :=D

Taking out of Booklady331's ABC Bookbox. This cover is too weird and campy to pass up! I like eccentric sci-fi/fantasy, and this one looks really interesting.

I picked this one because the book cover was so weird and wonderful, but I couldn't get into the story, so this one is available.

Shrinking my piles of books, thanks to a broken water heater we had a flood. This book was safe, but I need to make room for repairs. Vaya con Dios.
