Heron’s Bonds
Heron is of course the human that wandered with Grabon for 30 cycles. He knows more about dragons than he does about humans When the story begins. He was only twenty cycles when they met and probably twenty five when he and Grabon crossed their power lines and forged the intense psychic link that makes…
Read MoreGlinarca
Do you remember the female dragon alone in the cave when Dotty assisted at the birth, that large red and white dragon? She was an old friend of Grabon’s?

Read MoreDisappointment
We are in the process of planning a move, going closer to my folks so we can do more and be more available. As people get close to 80 they need a bit of assistance with this and that, and fortunately I am in a position where I can do that. So we are looking…

My first title for book6 was The Soother. Hipita who is an amazing character, and somewhat central to the story, happens to have a very interesting talent that goes well with her somewhat prickly personality. Only I did that with Healing, naming the book after a talent and I did not want readers…
Read MoreBlogging
So I grew up without computers, long before the Information Age was underway and I have read a ton of articles about blogging. They tell you how to pick a singular theme, stick to it, draw in your audience, and entertain them with spin offs of the same thing. There is a load of advice…
Read MoreSpot Cleaning
I like short cuts, especially cleaning shortcuts, although cooking shortcuts can be great as long as it doesn’t ruin the food. But back to cleaning, everyone’s least favorite job. It is an endless thankless chore. Spot cleaning and stark organization are my friends. I see some dirt, clean it up, move this, wipe that, make…
