(These are called ghost writers and are usually grossly underpaid and under valued) I am not involved in any of that. For those that wonder how I wrote so many books…

I answered that the NewEarth Series has at least one disabilities described in each book, a challenge that a character, human or dragon, has to work with and she asked if I knew who wrote them. I answered that I did and gave her the…
