You know you've written a good book when even the people who hate it admit it's entertaining.

The key to having good scales is a healthy diet of venison when you’re just a wee dragon lad.

Remember, there were dragons long before men came into the world. Why, it was none other than The Great Dragons of Yore who invented the idea of knighthood. Yes, yes, that’s right! Dragons had knights, Kings, princesses and queens long before men crawled out of the muck.

Dragons were notoriously finicky about whom they ate, and thought it the height of bad manners to be kept waiting by their selected fare.

Books are the only things worth stealing.

When I look at my bookcase and see one book after the other lined up upon its shelves I think to myself, There is a God.
