It will be a year since the dragon cave was open to the blog-sphere but I'm not celebrating my blog. If it were for me alone, I would have dropped it months ago. The merit of this anniversary is not mine but yours. I celebrate all those who made it possible for Father Dragon to stay put one whole year (not a small thing, indeed!).

I hope with all my dragon heart you all can drop by for the party. Your presence would be my greatest gift and the perfect way to close a year of adventure, laughter, struggle, hope and miracles. There will be also a lot of free dragon hugs!
I think this is one of the most original and fun ways to reveal a cover and it is brought to you by our dear friend Lexa Cain! (Thunderous cheering from dwarves' standing ovation.)
Can you find the error on this cover?
To win a prize, find the cover error in each of these 10 blogs:

Love, love, love dragon hugs! I've put the party on my calendar!
ReplyDeleteLexa, Great cover!
I'm assuming the error is the cursor in the middle of the page. But we all know what assume means! LOL
Father Dragon, I'm honored to be on your list! Thanks so much--can't wait for my dragon hugs!
ReplyDeleteGreat cover, Lexa--I'm so happy for you! :)
You did a beautiful job with that intro. It is a great cover.
ReplyDeleteThank you Al for including me on your list. I love the dragon and all his dwarfs. Special place to visit. I'll be here to celebrate and I'll bring treats for the dwarfs. Since I love dragons, I want a big hug from one very cool dragon! Just sayin'
Sia McKye Over Coffee
Dwarves thank you for thinking on them! :D Yes big hugs, no worries.
DeleteOh my. A double bonus post. A wonderful cover (Congratulations Lexa) and an awe-inspiring invitation. And who could pass up a Dragon Hug?
ReplyDeleteThat's right, it's not like there are many cuddling dragons around, hahaha. ;)
DeleteHonoured to be on your party list, I've put the date in my diary!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Lexa and a fun idea for a reveal.
Hey - I found the error Lexa. Feeling gutted about not being on the list, but I've never been very V.I.P and didn't know of this fab Dragon business. My bad. :) X
ReplyDeleteshahwharton.com
It is never late to start. :D Dragon hugs.
DeleteLike the idea for the cover reveal, although can't seem to find anything wrong with the cover.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the mention!

I'll have to ponder that cover some more.
ReplyDeleteRe: Nov. 24th... I'll definitely come for the dragon hugs. :)
You know I will be here for the party! Glad you chose to enter the blogging world a year ago, my friend.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I can't quite find the error in that cover. And mucho congratulations on your upcoming blog anniversary. :))
ReplyDeleteI just saw that cover and I still don't see a difference.
ReplyDeleteSweet of you to throw us a party, Father Dragon.
I can't find the error? I think something's wrong with my eyes...?
ReplyDeleteThank you for the invite Al.
I'll definitely be here for the celebration!
Congratulations! And so sweet of you to include me (especially, since I've been a horrid blogger lately). I'm definitely going to give my best to make it - even if I have to park outside the grocery store to get on the internet ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha I did notice the 'errors' in the different sites, how fun! Congratulations to Lexa ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm honored to be on the list and I shall be here :D
Dragoness hug!
I'm so bad at finding picture errors in covers.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats on your blog anniversary! And I'll definitely be here for the party. :) So glad you've kept up the blog, my fantastic dragon friend!
What an ingenious idea for a cover reveal. Kudos to Lexa (or whoever thought of it).
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have been a part of your year, Al. Getting established in this world can be quite hectic, can it not? Especially if health concerns or other issues intercede on this journey. I'm happy to support you in any way I can.
All my best,
M.L. Swift, Writer
Very hectic, Mike. But I must say I have learned SO much from all of you. Thanks for your support!
DeleteI don't see any error, just an intriguing cover! Congrats to Lexa.
ReplyDeleteAnd congrats to you, Al. That year flew by! I'll most definitely be here to party, stubbornly insisting on bringing River (and possibly Jezebel). Jeff isn't bringing any more gassy dwarves with him to the party, is he?
You have helped me more than you can ever know, father dragon. You allowed me to see beyond my walls and envision a better future.
Many bolitas to you!
No more gassy dwarves, I promise. I will feed them with coal. That's an amazing remedy for that problem, hehehe. It will only smell to dwarves cologne and dragon scent, hahaha. You may bring whoever you wish, my dearest friend. I love you all the same.
DeleteThat sounds rather...explosive! LOL! Coal + gas = feed them outside the cave. ;)
DeleteI will certainly be there! Thank you, Sir Dragon. I couldn't have thought of a better way to celebrate a blogoversary. That's because dragons are just clever like that. :)
ReplyDelete(giggle found it)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 1 year!
Yay to the anniversary! I'm going shopping to find just the right outfit for the party. Can I bring something? Caramels for the Dwarves?
ReplyDeleteGot the clue on Lexa's cover!
DeleteOh, dwarves would love caramels. Just don't make it chocolate, remember I'm allergic to chocolate. Dwarves thank you for thinking on them. :)
DeleteI'll keep this date in mind! Thanks so much, Al! I feel so flattered!
ReplyDeleteAloha Al,
ReplyDeleteIt has been far too long since I have entered the cave, so my apologies for that and I hope you are doing well, my friend:)
It would be my honor to join you on the 24th. I'm looking forward to it:)
Isn't it amazing how fast a year goes:) Why, before long you'll be celebrating your 803rd birthday :)
I am honoured to see my name in the list Al. I will mark the date in my calendar. Hugs to you Father Dragon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing you are doing for your friends!!! It makes us all feel loved and appreciated. I shouldn't speak for "everyone." It makes me feel loved and appreciated. That was akin to you reaching through the computer with a HUGE HUG. Thank you, Al.
ReplyDeleteLexa... I found it!
Um...without reading comments and hoping around I'm assuming the two different eye colors and the arrow thingy in the middle.
ReplyDeleteI shall return!!!!
Ahh shananigans!!! I meant to say I found it!!! Just saw the rules.
DeleteActually your cover was the only one I got.
ReplyDeleteYou know I will be there with bells on Father Diaz, how wonderful to get a personal invitation. I too am a sucker for dragon hugs. I will bring the dwarf tossing champion with me and he can challenge the Dragon Night again. Have the dwarves recovered from their flight yet, especially Jeff feeding them beans?
Hahaha, yes, don't worry Jo, the dwarves are fully recovered from Jeff's spoiling. I am seeing he's a bad influence for my dwarves overweight. But you don't need to bring air masks. :D
DeleteThanks so much for the invite, Al! I've penned in the date so I don't forget to stop by. *HUGS!!!*
ReplyDeleteI'm all in for some dragon hugs...who can resist those?! Love the cover, but I'll be darned if I can find an error in it...
ReplyDeleteThanks, Al :)
I found the mistake! Subtle!
ReplyDeleteHappy one year Father Dragon!! And thanks, I'm super honored to make the list and even more honored to have met someone so unique, charming and kind as you. You really know how to lift a girls spirits and put a smile on her face. I will make sure to be around more often and more importantly on Nov 24th! Again, thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt's gift enough to be on your list and to have met you. I always enjoy visiting your colorful cave. You can truly make my day. Thank you, Al.
ReplyDeleteWow. I'm honored to be included with this group of bloggers. I've got 11/24 on my calendar. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBut I came up empty on the cover error.
Love Lexa's cover! And this is definitely a really fun way to do the reveal :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your upcoming anniversary!
Ridiculously excited to read Lexa's "Soul Cutter"! I would be honored to help celebrate the Dragon's friend day, thank you! I'll bring the coffee, and the music:)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Al, I'm honored. The bloggosphere is so much brighter and warmer with you here. (:
ReplyDeleteLove Lexa's cover, I need to go visit her blog!!!
Aw, muchas gracias! I'm putting it down on the calendar right now. The 24th is my last day of my thirties, so it's even more reason to celebrate as the big 4-0 looms over my head. lol
ReplyDeleteSending dragon hugs your way! It's been a pleasure having you around the blogosphere! :D
Lexa's cover reveal game is so clever! And thank you, Father Dragon, for the wonderful invitation. I'm blushing that you've included me. You've made my day. Hugs to carry you through the weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteAww, I'm so touched to get this invitation. I can't wait for the party! What a wonderful idea, Al.
ReplyDeleteAnd I couldn't agree more about Lexa's reveal - so creative and fun.
That is a clever way to talk about one's book!
ReplyDeleteAl-- you know from all those people up there, we each celebrate our friendship with you more than we can say. What wonderful gifts a warm heart, a word of encouragement, shared laughter and mutual interests all are. Many, many SHs to you, Dragon friend.
I have been on hiatus from my blog but I had to jump in a say hi and I'll be there. Your blog has been a blessing to me often.
ReplyDeleteWow! This is so sweet!!! I'll be there. Big dragon hugs coming your way!!! BTW, the Dwarf finally told me his name in the hope that it would get him out of giving my dog a bath . . . the clone is called - Dayton, or at least that's what he's confessing to at the moment.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great party invitation! Thanks so much. I'm very honored to be an honored guest. As soon as I get home, I'll transport myself to the cave.
ReplyDeleteI know I shouldn't try and understand what I'm reading while I'm at work! I'll definitely check the party out in November. Will dress to the dimes to boot! :)
DeleteAl, my friend,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Lexa's imaginative mystery cover reveal is certainly getting some excellent feedback. And silly me was the last one to post up about it. I was wondering about time zones. Never mind, let the fun commence.
And your party, a celebration of your one year of being part of something very special, very powerful. As you have displayed positive interaction, it has been embraced. And the hugs back to you, are testimony to how much we all care for you. I am honoured that you have included Penny and myself amongst that incredible group of folks. Thank you so much for that.
Inspiration breeds inspiration. Hope, caring and understanding, blending as one towards a better world.
A peaceful, positive weekend, my friend.
Gary on behalf of Penny :)
I am always up for a hug, ESPECIALLY a great big dragon hug. You can bet everyone of your dwarves I'll he back. Thank you so very much.
ReplyDeleteBig hugs!!!! You are a bright light in the blogosphere and if you leave, I will have to steal some ninjas, bribe some dwarves, and hunt you down!! I'd be a sad human without some dragon light.
ReplyDeleteAnd I couldn't find anything wrong with the cover! But you're right...very clever indeed!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great party:)
ReplyDeleteFound the error on the cover, Lexa. Nice job with the launch.. loving the search.
Do you have any idea how long I've dreamed of being 18? You've made my dream come true! LOL There is always room on my calendar for my favorite (and the coolest) dragon.
ReplyDeleteIt has indeed been a most memorable year. I've been hugged by the dragon and I'm better for it. I'll definitely be in line for more. Thanks for having us along on the journey.
18 again, yes!!! How cool is that for dragon magic, uh? I am awesome or what. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Thanks for being in the journey, my very first dragon friend, and thanks for accepting the invitation. :)
DeleteI'm very honored to have been included. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteAnd I found the error on the cover. Three down...seven more to go.
What an enticing cover Lexa! This is such a clever idea for a contest even though I have absolutely no chance of winning! Thanks for thinking of me Father Dragon, and I will be honored to attend your celebration.
ReplyDeleteJulie
Awwwwwww... LOVE you, Dragon!!!!! Love your blog, heart, and talent. Proud of Lexa and proud to be included. You are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sir; I am honored, and will be here on that date.
ReplyDeleteI found the cover mistake. Way cool game.
Hugs :) Have a pleasant weekend.
.......dhole
Hi Al, or should I say Sir .... the Dragon's Den is a great place to be - always lots of fun going on .. and I've notched my belt for the 24th, or have I tied my handkerchief?! ... but I shall be here ..
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out Lexa's cover for the 'mistake' .. sounds a fun look around ...
Cheers and have a good weekend ... I might need your cave for some shelter .. we're in for a big storm .. happy times ..Hilary
The Cave is always open, Hilary. We'll further send loud cheering and heartfelt prayers your way. Plenty of dragon hugs!
DeleteYou've been blogging for a year? Wow! Thanks for including me on your list. You've touched my life, Al, with your strength, kindness, and enthusiasm - I'm so glad to know you.
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for your help with my reveal! It's been an awesome day! :-)
Thank you ALL for accepting and for being who you are! You rock, my friends!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this cover real! It's so different and fun!
ReplyDeleteHI, FD…
ReplyDeleteI am DEEPLY touched… Thank you for thinking of me… I will still be in Colombia, but I will make an effort to drop by if I have internet service!!!
Sending hugs your way!
I shall make a date in my electronic diary to drop by. I look forward to the surprise.
ReplyDeleteWith a guest list like that, I'll be there. Congratulations. For just one year, you've come quite far.
ReplyDeletexoRobyn
Congrats to Lexa! What a great reveal.
ReplyDeleteThank you for including me! I'll definitely come.
Thanks Al! I humbly accept. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Lexa!!
ReplyDeleteOne year. Wow. Definitely worth celebrating!!!
What a wonderful list of friends. And I can safely say we are all better off for your presence here too. Thanks, Al - looking forward to the party! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteAl, I'm sure everyone would agree with me that we're glad you're here! I'd miss you if you stopped blogging, even when life is whooping me and I can't visit as often as I'd like. Thank you so much for including me in this!
ReplyDeleteShannon at The Warrior Muse
And I forgot to say that the cover is stunning! Definitely a cool way to do a cover release. Congratulations to Lexa!
DeleteWe are having a party... great post, so much happening... I am late to the event, but I brought "dip"...
ReplyDeleteAw, how lovely! I'll be there with black clothes, red lipstick, and lots of silver-toned crosses on, in true Goth Mom style! :-)
ReplyDeleteHey Al, I'm very sorry....I thought I had already responded to this!
ReplyDeleteI'll be there with bells on and wild Dwarves couldn't drag me away :D
This Bird is honored. And I'll take all Dragon Hugs I can get. Count me as a big YES in responding to the party invite.
