DRAGON SLIPPERS by Jessica Day George

Never underestimate the power of a great opening line. DRAGON SLIPPERS starts like this, "It was my aunt who decided to give me to the dragon." I was immediately hooked. Who was this girl? Why did her aunt give her to a dragon

That's a great opening line :)

Yes, and I found this in the acknowledgments, "And third, when the first line of this book leaped into my brain one night, my poor, dear husband agreed to walk the floor for hours upon hours with our colicky baby so that I could get some writing done."

Gotta love her husband!

Colicky baby = motivation to write

I've never heard that one before, but it makes sense, providing you have someone else to hold the baby :)
