Relief and Relaxing
I can only keep up the level of energy I sustain for so long and then I hit a slump. Today is obviously a slump day. So it looks like napping, reading and watching a movie will be high on my agenda. I have a few chores, laundry and such and a good friends recommendation…
Read MoreDotty
Now that The Heartsinger is out and people are reading it, I can tell you a little more about Dotty. She is fierce in her determination to do her part, to try as hard as she can and to please everyone. Whether that desire comes from trying to make up for Maggie or if it…
Read MoreHanna
For a Miner, Hanna had an unusual education because of her aunt Millie and all the domestic crafts she learned. In Grabon’s territory she is well known for her cooking, baking in particular and Gordon is able to keep her well supplied with eggs, milk, and anything else she needs. However, aside from her cooking…
Read MoreMilk Source

Read MoreThrilled and Tired
Sending my books out into the world is both exciting and exhausting. It helps to remember that nothing is perfect, some blemishes can be overlooked. I retain the ability to go back and fix mistakes, which I plan to do with Gordon’s Pride as well as change the cover, but first I have to find…
Read MoreGrabon’s Response
Do you think Grabon is making trouble for himself, allowing other claims on his territory besides his own? In book two, we see how the other dragons respond to seeing Gordon’s claim and then they realize Heron has the woods. It is obviously against dragon tradition, but why? In book 3 other claims occur. Is…
