Pets
This goes back to a rule governing territory dragons: A pet is a creature, any creature that you provide for and keep safe, or at least attempt to keep safe. Basically you feed it and give it shelter. That holds true in NewEarth as well. Some creatures are kept as pets and a person shouldn’t…
Read MoreSpiders and Ants
It is a terrible thing to give less value to some life forms, but honestly spiders and ants are not my favorites. 🕷 and 🐜 make my flesh crawl. Large, small, thick or thin they bother me if they are inside my house. Outside, we’ll it’s different. Outside is where they belong. Unless, and I…
Read MoreDragon Time
Dragons separate the day into time blocks, it just isn’t the same as we have here on old earth. The humans when they landed on NewEarth developed almost an identical way of measuring time. With two suns and two moons, this is how it tends to go. First sun rising, two suns up, sun high…

Read MoreCharacters
Many of my characters grow, mature, age and in some cases get sick and eventually die. Even a dragon with 200 or more years of living that they can anticipate, ages, grows ill, and eventually dies. It is part of living and life. If a dragon is unable to care for themselves, they join a…
Read MoreDragons
How did these mammals get to be called dragons? Well if you have looked at the pictures you have a pretty good image of what the dragons move like. The human settlers had been dropped off the night before, early spring, storms raged, rain beat down on their plastic containers and in some cases flipped…
Read MoreDragons are people too!
Occasionally I give the uncorrupted view of the child through Jenny or Matti in the stories. In Book 2, Heron’s Bonds, Jenny tells everyone, “Grabon is our people.” And of course from the dragon perspective the ones who are so different are the humans, not the dragons at all.
