Hopeful House 🏡
We saw the house yesterday. It is really great, lots of room for us, lots of room for our stuff, even a fenced yard for the dog. In town but quiet, less than 10 minutes from my parents, tucked away behind and around municipal buildings and in an established neighborhood. The house is part of…
Read More🐝 and 🧛♀️
Well it all started because I wasn’t watching where a I put my feet. You see I was working with my dad and we were managing two curly hoses, a bottle of poison, and a ton of mosquitoes. My parents have a bit of a problem with the blood sucking monsters, so we were doing…
Read MoreTravel Success
We made the trip with two dogs and survived! The activity level was a little starteling, especially as she bounded to the back, perched on the suitcase for the best view and proceeded to chew on some unknown object. After a few trips to the front with her plan to sit on the dashboard stymied,…

Read MoreEquality
In every one of the NewEarth books, equality is a theme. The equal treatment of humans and dragons, the equal treatment of dominants vs nondominants.

As a territory dragon you make the rules for your territory, you also enforce those rules, recruit your clan and train your fighters. It is is…
Read MoreDavid’s 🎂
My nephew is legally an adult. I remember when we found out Heike was pregnant, much less the day he was born. He is a brilliant kid, not necessarily at school stuff, but he lights up a room. He is social, fun to be around. He helps out his grandparents. He is always willing to…
Read MoreLast Day!
I love giving books away and this has been a good one. The promotion ends at midnight tonight, so be sure to download a copy before then. Heron’s Bonds is a favorite of mine, not only telling the story of Trissy, Jenny, and Mattie, but the formation of Grabon’s clan. You also see Hanna and…
Read MorePuppy Adventures
Sweety and Jethro have become friends and that is a good thing since they are living in the same house. My very special Jethro has never had the opportunity to mentor a puppy and he obviously takes the responsibility seriously. He is doing his best to help her out and keep her out of trouble.…
Read MoreEditing 😟
Do you know the hardest part of editing? It is not seeing all the marks on the pages; over 600 pages for one of my books filled with corrections, suggestions, alternatives and possibilities. I plow through those, reading everything turning the marks on and off, seRch my vocabulary and rephrase without difficulty. It is not…
