Read MoreWorld Building
World Building is the fantasy term for the type of writing involved in creating NewEarth. Sometimes it is refered to as high fantasy and whatever you call it, it is great fun for the writer and hopefully equally adventurous and entertaining for the the reader.

As we get into book 5 of the series and I begin work on book 6 getting it ready for an October release date, the number of characters a reader is keeping track of becomes overwhelming. That’s why we are working hard to come up with the best kind and form of character map. If…

I am rereading Thea Harrison’s Elder Races Series. Has anyone else read her stuff. She does an amazing job of blending the fantasy and our current world.

Read MoreCharacters

🍅 The favorite plant of mine, I plant multiple varieties and watch them flower and bloom with anticipation every year. This year I am trying some gardening tarp to see if it reduces weeds. I am also going to use an essential oils spray to ward off tomato horn worms. My plants have been growing for…
