Discussion on NewEarth

Sometimes he is the fun loving companion, engaging in pranks and snowball fights. On other occasions he is driven to accomplish a goal and pays no attention to who is in his way like when he was building his nest. When he is being the territory dragon he is both compassionate and merciless depending on…

The ability to influence, change, detect, or penetrate someone’s thoughts is considered mind manipulation. Among the humans and dragons of the Combined Territories, we see a number of people with these types of abilities, usuallyused for good, but always with the potential of misuse if someone were to be twisted in their thinking and lacking…

One of the joys of worldbuilding is coming up with the physical world for a story. In the case of the NewEarth Series I decided on a sentient planet, female, with two suns that she orbits around with two moons that rotate around her. In making that choice I had to figure rotation, times, size…

As more and more people are reading my stories, bringing the characters to life and putting their own spin on the stories, it is wonderful to watch. I want to thank everyone who has read the stories I crafted, hopefully enjoyed them, and found something of interest in my world of NewEarth. One thing that…
