Zack and Tria and Golly
The first youth in Grabon’s nest was Golly, then Tria and last it was Zack. Golly was there knowing he would die there. Tria was a visitor, but she is so small and young that everyone makes room for her inside the nest. Besides, she befriends Golly, which pretty much means she hits everyone’s soft…
Read MoreAnticipation
I have been getting book 5 ready and playing around with the title and some concepts for the cover of book 6. I think based on the way the other titles have gone I may go with a single word title. As we get closer I will be sure to share at least one of…
Read MorePia
She is a musician, part of a band that wanders from territory to territory playing music. She is small, she is feminine, and she looks almost exactly like Tria; that young youth that flew into the territory and bit the head off of a hopper that Kev was speaking with. Where does she come from?…

As mates, Mia and Pit’s bond is still growing. They obviously had some past difficulties but they seem to be working through that. Do you think Mia has really committed herself to Grabon and the territory? As the Storyteller, she is a culture keeper, one who helps mold the way the territory is perceived. If…
Read MoreHess
Hess wants the market to be successful in bringing in people, both dragon and human so they can be educated about one another. Making money is a secondary concern. His partners, Tad, Pit and Thane are in agreement, which allows them to use resources differently than they would if their primary goal was to relieve…
