Book Trailer Contest Winner
Or...Congratulations to Tara Manderino

The Dragon would like to congratulate Tara Manderino for her participation in the Choices Meant for Gods Book Trailer Contest. Tara gave the trailer a five-star review and left an uplifting comment for Jamieson Wolf, the creator of the cinematic masterpiece that is "How to Breed Dragons".

Woo-hoo, Tara!!

She wins the coo-el dragon bowie knife that she can wear around her neck to ward off would-be sorcerers and the like. I'll be shipping that out shortly. Yay. And if I had a digital camera (yes, I know, I live in the dark ages) I'd post a picture of the nifty thing here. It's a cool-lookin' dragon. I also have one in the basket o' Choices Meant for Gods goodies that I'm donating to the cause at DragonCon, but they seem to have lost interest in auctioning something from an unknown author, so who knows what we'll do with that. I might just have a drawing at my table in the dealer room. How does that sound to all of you out there?

Tara, you rock. Everyone, you can see the trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFg0kW_T-3g.

The Dragon Thanks The Wolf
Or...just one item, though

I have a lot of things to thank Jamieson Wolf for. The writer / author / promoter / friend has supported me tremendously throughout the Choices Meant for Gods Online Book Tour, and before, and probably will continue to support me afterward. But I want to focus this article on his latest work of genius.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFg0kW_T-3g

I encourage all ya'll visiting Today the Dragon Wins to check out the book trailer Jamieson created to promote Choices Meant for Gods and join me in laughing my butt off at the adorable baby dragon in one of the frames - trust me, you'll know when you see it because you'll start laughing - out loud. The trailer, over all, is fabulous, and I want everyone to see it.

In fact, I'll just make a contest for it. See the next post for your chance to win something cool when you learn how to raise your own baby dragon...

AND thank you to Jamieson Wolf. The coolest villain EVER!

I guarantee this trailer will make you smile. From the clever music to the clever title to the line about...well...I guess I shouldn't spoil it, should I? It's just a riot! You'll enjoy it. It's very tongue-in-cheek and fabulous and anyone who likes dragons will appreciate it immensely. Go check it out, and if you're not registered with uTube, sign up (free) so you can leave a comment by Saturday, August 4. (Deadline.) On that day, I'll copy down all the names there and pull them out of a the Duran Duran 2001 "Close Up" Tour hat and announce on this site that you've won the prize. (Yes, that means you'll have to check this site on August 4.)

Can you remember all that?
1. Go see the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFg0kW_T-3g.
2. Give the video a five-star ranking and a nice comment.
3. Check this site on August 4.

That's actually pretty easy. I'll remind you - a lot.

Good luck! And thank you to Jamieson Wolf for his hard work and creativity!
