Discussion on NewEarth

The story of Brom and Mox is delayed again, I got a note from Jo my poor overstressed editor. She has not had a chance to even look at it for the past week. Her last installment covered only 40 pages. She is hoping that by the end of this month or possibly the middle…

Can you imagine having a crazy sister who killed your parents? Let’s not consider the fact that Maggie poisoned her a little bit every day, tore apart her confidence, and resented the hell out of her. We can pretend that Dotty’s parents meant well and intended no harm in the way they treated Dotty as…

She makes her first appearance in NewEarth 4: Healing. She is human, a distinction that becomes increasingly necessary the farther you get into the series. LeeAnn is a special character because she is emotionally sensitive. She hates the idea of causing pain while she heals, but her energy is so strong that if she uses…

Certain couples were not included in the festivities because others felt they had not contributed enough. Those farmers had been selfish in staking out their land and planting their seeds.…

Storm damage is scary, and the settlers, newly arrived to the planet had no way of knowing that storms like that were normal and the weather all along the coast was prone to high winds and rain.
