Discussion on NewEarth

With The Heartsinger officially out for a week, I am beginning work on Healing, which is slowly coming in from my editor, Jo. She has been working away at it since she finished book 3. This is the story of LeeAnn, the healer who comes to live in the territory. She is a strong female…

Pit is a bit odd, even for a dragon. Does he really warn Tad away from establishing a mating bond if it is not what he wants? It sounds like he’s has a complicated relationship of his own that he is trying to forget. The conflict between him and Thane seems to be born of…

What kinds of challenges do you think Tad and Hess face moving from the colonies, where they were dealing with corrupt humans on NewEarth and corrupt smugglers from off planet in trade, to dealing with Heron, Grabon and the new territory? Mixing humans and dragon culture sounds complex… or at least it does to some…

Heron has a wide open mind, meaning of course that his brain will psychically connect with anything that is capable of psychically connecting. He uses all types of mind connections to communicate, much like the dragons do; emotional, mind speak, energy and then his connections that he makes to the forest, the trees and other…

In Grabon’s territory she is well known for her cooking, baking in particular and Gordon is able to keep her well supplied with eggs, milk, and anything else she needs. However, aside from her cooking…

Gordon has the two cows that he got from other Farmers and they are using the milk, but an obvious source for other milk are the cattle. Also many of the Humans do not cook with milk or milk products very often, only the Farmers seem to do so with any regularity, or those living…

Having all the humans recognizable as belonging to a particular family because of the way they dress made sense to me, especially since my husband and I love to play the ‘what does that person do for a living game’ while we people watch. It is amazing how accurate we are most of the time.…

The Heartsinger is officially released and available for sale. It is the story of Tad and Dotty, how they find themselves bonded by the planet before they discover that Dotty is in trouble. Tad realizes first that she must be his mate, but he is on a mission and has no time or ability to…
