Longer Lifespan
What do you think a longer lifespan would mean in your life? Dragons live 200-250 cycles, each cycle is 460 days. Each day is 36 earth hours. If you were to do the math, I think you would agree that dragons have a significantly longer life on NewEarth than even the humans of New earth.…

Read MoreWould You Leave Earth?
If an opportunity to get on a ship and go visit another planet fell in your lap, would you go? Would you make plans to pay and relocate to a different planet to live? Would you be willing to walk away from modern technology for the rest of your life? You can imagine the small…
Read MoreTechnoGeekdom
I know I am not the only technophobe in the world, but my understanding of how the computer works, runs and connects to the invisible network of information is more a practice in magical thinking than an understanding of the technology itself.

Gordon’s Pride is now listed on Goodreads, so if that is a platform you enjoy, you can find it there. Please leave a review of the book either on Goodreads or Amazon or on here. As far as I am concerned, any review is a good one, so don’t be concerned about writing perfectly.

To all readers, have a wonderful holiday season and a joyous start to the new year. With holiday shopping, feasts to cook, family to entertain and entertainments to plan, I am going to be very busy, but I am hoping to get at least one blog in a day. Enjoy the festivities, the food and…
Read MoreWhat kinds of talents?
What kinds of talents can exist on NewEarth? This is a question I was asked by a reader, but I pretty much told him to keep reading. After some consideration I thought I could say a little more. The power of the planet can be used in lots of ways, including ways the planet probably…
