SkinWalkers: 
I got the cover for my first book The Last Dragon!!
I just got the cover for my first book, The Last Dragon! Of course I had to share it with you! The Last Dragon is Book 1 in the Dragon Speaker series. I also have the covers of the next two (and final) books in the series–Book 2: A Hero’s Worth by D.M. Ouellet and Book 3: Draco’s Fire by E.L. Thomas–which I’ll share here with you. Let me know what you think.
The books are YA hi-lo fantasy–high interest, low vocabulary books for reluctant teen readers. I think they’re well written, and can also be enjoyed by fantasy lovers.
Okay. (bouncing up and down) Here’s my cover:
And here are the covers for the second and third books–you can get them all in September.
Aren’t they neat? They were designed by Charlie Hnatiuk.

Congrats Cheryl! I think the covers (especially yours) look fantastic. Savor all these moments. They are truly special.

Thank you, Jo! (grinning and grinning) It feels good!

Very dramatic and appealing. Kids will LOVE them.
I can’t wait to buy them for my library.

The images aren’t working for me, for some reason. I’ll try again later. But I still wanted to say: CONGRATS!
June 13th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Thank you, Anne (beaming). I’m so glad!

Jules, blub! Blah! That the images aren’t working. I don’t know why; I can see them on my computers. And thank you, thank you for the congratulations. (grinning)

Congratulations! Those are great covers. I’ll have to check those books out when I see them in the stores.
June 13th, 2009 at 6:59 pm
Thank you, Jenny! I’m glad to hear it. I’d love to know if you spot them in a store.

Another major step forward for your publishing adventures, Cheryl — and good on ya’ . Unfortunately, like others, I can’t access the images, so I can just imagine them for the moment.
June 13th, 2009 at 8:01 pm
I can’t wait to read them all. Way to go, Cheryl. May there be many more fine books by Cheryl Rainfield.

It means a lot to me that you checked it out. I wish you could see it, but I’m glad you came by.

Karen, thank you! (grinning) That made me feel so good to read.

Wow! A gorgeous cover for your new book. I am sure you are doing the ‘happy dance’ right about now:)

Hi Cheryl,
At first I couldn’t see any images. How frustrating for me. I love books with dragons in them. Now I can see the first cover. Fantastic!!!
