 Helen looked up and inhaled sharply. “What kind is that? It looks like an oster-ich.” She pronounced the word with an extra syllable. (From a recent visit to the American Museum of Natural history.)
 The lead dinosaur, a hadrosaur species known as Edmontosaurus Regalis, walked a few steps down from the trees. It rose up on its back legs and angled its face toward the foreign object, sniffing. It did not like the large, strange-smelling structure on the river bank. One instinct demanded flight. The herd should leave before any trouble occurred. Another instinct said that territory could not be yielded. The rest of the herd remained at the forest’s edge, motionless except for the gentle oscillations of their tails. (From a recent visit to the American Museum of Natural history.)

Thank you to everyone who has written a review. I have read every single one and I appreciate them all, even the critical ones. Critical reviews are great for readers. They help readers decide if a book is right for them. I want to sell as many books as possible, but I don't want to sell my book to readers who won't like it. Critical reviews are great for authors. They help me understand where I'm succeeding and where I need to work harder. Of course, I also love all of the positive reviews and I'm thrilled that readers are having fun with The Dinosaur Four. My number one objective in writing this book was to entertain and knowing that I succeeded for so many readers has been gratifying. Quantity of reviews is really important too. When there are only a few reviews, it's easy to imagine that they might have been written by the author's friends and family. When a book has lots of reviews, it adds a level of legitimacy and makes it easier for readers to take a chance on a new author. Please keep the reviews coming. I can't wait to read the next hundred!
“With a body the size of a house and a weaponized tail, it would have feared nothing,” the scientist said. As a result, he chose the name Dreadnoughtus, meaning ‘fears nothing.’ Sounds just like the creatures that show up just offshore in The Dinosaur Four.

Read about my self-publishing experience, my favorite film, and learn the meaning of the title, "The Dinosaur Four." Author Interview: Geoff Jones There are two ways to read The Dinosaur Four without paying for it.
The best part is, when you borrow books for free through these programs, the author still gets paid!  Run Beth, Run! The cover art for The Dinosaur Four changed recently, due to feedback that the original cover felt too "young adult."
Any criticisms of the original cover should go to me, not at the artist. Dave Kang did a great job following my direction (such as it was). And he was eager to make changes when he heard about the complaints. Dave has been fantastic to work with and I endorse him without reservation! Here is the original cover, digitally preserved for all time. If you haven't seen the new cover yet, click the image.
