ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Donita K. Paul retired early from teaching school, but soon got bored! The result: a determination to start a new career. Now she is an award-winning novelist writing Christian Romance and Fantasy. She says, \u201cI feel blessed to be doing what I like best.\u201d<\/p>\n

She mentors all ages, teaching teenagers and weekly adult writing workshops.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod must have imprinted ‘teacher’ on me clear down to the bone. I taught in public school, then home schooled my children, and worked in private schools. Now my writing week isn\u2019t very productive unless I include some time with kids.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her two grown children make her proud, and her two grandsons make her laugh.<\/p>\n

Donita is an award-winning author of the Dragon Keeper Chronicle series including DragonFire<\/a> and DragonKnight<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When not writing, she is often engaged in mentoring writers of all ages. Donita lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado where she is learning to paint\u2013walls and furniture! Visit her website at www.dragonkeeper.us.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>The fantastic land of Amara is recovering from years of war inflicted on its citizens by outside forces\u2013as well as from the spiritual apathy corroding the Amarans\u2019 hearts. With Kale and her father serving as dragon keepers for Paladin, the dragon populace has exploded. It\u2019s a peaceful, exciting time of rebuilding. And yet, an insidious, unseen evil lurks just beneath the surface of the idyllic countryside.<\/p>\n

Truth has never been more important, nor so difficult to discern.<\/p>\n

As Kale and her father are busy hatching, bonding, and releasing the younger generation of dragons as helpers throughout the kingdom, the light wizard has little time to develop her skills. Her husband, Sir Bardon\u2013despite physical limitations resulting from his bout with the stakes disease\u2013has become a leader, serving on the governing board under Paladin. When Kale and Bardon set aside their daily responsibilities to join meech dragons Regidor and Gilda on a quest to find a hidden meech colony, they encounter sinister forces. Their world is under attack by a secret enemy\u2026 can they overcome the ominous peril they can\u2019t even see?<\/p>\n

Prepare to experience breathtaking adventure and mind-blowing fantasy as never before in this dazzling, beautifully-crafted conclusion to Donita K. Paul\u2019s popular DragonKeeper Chronicles fantasy series.<\/p>\n

“DragonLight<\/em> is a delight, but I wouldn’t expect anything less from the marvelous Donita K. Paul. I heartily recommend her books to all ages who love inspirational fantasy and wonderful creatures. Ms Paul not only supplies imagination and talent, she provides heart and soul. Another winner!”
\n~KATHRYN MACKEL<\/strong>, author of Boost<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Donita K. Paul is amazing! DragonLight<\/em> has the allegorical depth to satisfy the most discerning adult seeking spiritual depth, yet it is fun enough to fascinate a child. This book will enthrall, uplift, and if allowed, change lives–as we are gently drawn to realize that each of us is flawed and must have patience with other flawed believers.”
\n~HANNAH ALEXANDER<\/strong>, author of Double Blind<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

MY REVIEW:<\/h3>\n

DragonLight<\/a> is the first book I have read by Donita K. Paul.\u00a0 I actually put off reading it because I expected it to be more of a children’s book but once I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. Yes, it would appeal to older children but there is enough action and depth to hold an adult’s interest.\u00a0 After reading it, I can’t imagine how I have missed her books before now.<\/p>\n

DragonLight<\/a> is a charming fantasy that pulls the reader into its world. One can almost believe in a world inhabited with wonderfully diverse races, wizards, dragons, and other creatures. The interaction between characters is stellar. The riveting quest is filled with danger, humor, compassion, heroic courage, and enough plot twists to keep the reader engaged. As the cover states, DragonLight<\/a> is “A Fantastic Journey of Discovery For All Ages”!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
