Discussion on NewEarth

Who is that falling into the nest? That tends to be the most frequently asked question from readers. Her name is LeeAnn. Against all odds she manages to survive, but obviously things do not go smoothly. Have you ever tried to convince someone that someone or something has value and they stubbornly refuse to see…

In many books that I have read, food, beautifully prepared mysteriously appears. Laundry is magically achieved or never even thought of and dishes, if not used as foreplay, are something a good fairy manages while the characters are sleeping. However, domestic heroes deserve credit. It takes real work and skill to plan and prepare three…

This may be helpful. You can find it on the website under NewEarth: reader’s resources. There are characters on here through book 4. We will update for book 5.

Rok is an interesting character. Aside from him being a dragon, one of Grabon’s rough and tumble friends, he was also the dragon sent to negotiate on Grabon’s behalf. He seems to know more about formal protocol than the rest and he invents things. In Healing, book 4, you see another side of him, you…

If you have read book 3, The Heartsinger, you met Dotty’s sister Maggie. If not, read no farther because there are too many points that are giveaways. Half the fun of this story is finding the clues for yourself to put together the larger picture. As a reader, did you like Maggie when you first…

Aside from it being a different planet, NewEarth has 2 suns, 2 moons and those that live there all have a psychic connection to what everyone calls the planet. If you were hoping for the full explanation in this post, sorry to disappoint, but you’ll have to keep reading to find out exactly what the…

In my books I give a certain amount of attention to the fact that dragons are taught to wait, they wait at the edge of a nest to be acknowledged, they wait for a number of things when visiting a new territory and they become good at it. Some of the humans are not as…

You probably noticed that in book 3 the plan for a market that appeals to both dragons and humans also included smuggled goods from off planet. This amazingly does not seem to surprise the dragons which the humans chalk up to not wanting to display their shock and amazement. Look for a different answer in…
