The Council
Can you imagine being called before the council that visits Grabon?

Read MoreFixing it Up
In book 4, Hess tells LeeAnn that Hanna and Trissy had fixed up their barn, making it as comfortable as possible. In book 6 Porter mentions that the females of the clan had done the same for him when he had taken over one side of the barn. They do it again when Lars moves…
Read MoreFamily and Fun
I was able to spend most of the day helping to decorate my parents tree and house. It was great and we had a wonderful time going over the stories about the different orniments while my mother played the keyboard, filling the house with music.

Athena, my very talented artist and illustrator has managed to bring much of my world into living color. I enjoy her style and imaginative additions as well as the incredible skill it takes to work from description and produce a picture that everyone can share. This latest beast is a ripper, good in stews and…

If you are one of the readers that is reading and waiting on the release of the next book, allow me to tease you a bit. Brom finds a mate, so does Glinarca. Grabon passes judgement on a dragon with mind manipulation skills. The council pays a second visit and this time they are not…
Read MoreReading Order
Like many series, the NewEarth Series is arranged and numbered for reader clarity, but is it possible to read them out of order and enjoy them? Well I would hope that the stories have enough to hold the interest of a new reader no matter which book they begin with, but the larger story of…
