Cows 🐮
In between writing, I spend an inordinate amount of time watching the cows move from one field to another, interact, raise their babies and search for that ever elusive perfect blade of grass. Yesterday was a perfect example. They were as usual playing hide the babies, and as we started watching, one of the babies…
Read MoreA ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Review for TheHeartsinger
Found on Amazon… “Another great book in the continuation of the NewEarth series. I love the new characters, the swift and brutal justice, and following all of the characters both human and dragon from story to story. Buy it, read it, and become a NewEarth fan along with me!” Thanks so much!
Read MoreKev and Fin
If you are enjoying the series and wonder about these boys, I promise they will feature again in my books until they are grown and finding mates of their own. Kev taught Human to many dragons and is working on his communication skills. Since he was a youngster he was fascinated with the idea of…
Read MoreTad and Hess
As I was working on book 4, it occurred to me that people may have overlooked some of the fine differences between Tad and Hess, the brothers who are cousins to Gordon. In book 3 Tad meets Dotty. In book 4 Hess meets his LeeAnn. This changes both of them significantly and in ways neither…

Read MoreHeron
Did you ever wonder why Heron was willing to spend most of his life with a dragon, hiding his own intelligence from the other dragons? Or why Grabon was willing to do the same among the humans? Why did claiming the territory change all of that? Well as far as Heron hiding his intelligence from…
Read MoreFreezing Rain
We traveled home again after a wonderful visit with my brother and his family. The food was fantastic, the company entertaining and many of the stories worth repeating. However the weather really could have been nicer. About halfway home, we had to stop for de- icing, gas and a bathroom. We passed three cars whose…
Read MoreIntimidation
Almost everyone has had a moment when they needed to stand up against their own fear, justified or not. It is one of the things my characters do well. They face their own fears, establish new standards and strive forward in the participation of their own life. Many people I have known over the years…
Read MoreHappy Easter
For those of you who worship, practice, or celebrate, have a wonderful time. Gatherings are special as you can tell from my stories and something I especially enjoy. As people travel, I hope they stay safe and keep an eye on the weather.
