Discussion on NewEarth
Winter Travel
Winter travel is a theme in my stories, but this holiday season my husband and I had some adventures of our own traveling out of the deep freeze up north back home. Fortunately we had a heated car and were not traveling by wagon behind a giant cattle or even worse in a lightweight bentar…
Read MoreStorm ready
Having lived my life with extreme weather, storm prep is no joke. From the pantry to garage, bedding to windows, things need to be prepped so when nature runs her course, we all come out alive. The storms on NewEarth in Grabon’s territory are extreme and scary. Probably much like the most extreme places I…
Read MoreGatherings
As the territory grows and the clan is formed, gatherings become very important. Where do you think these gatherings should happen?
Read MoreFestive Food
On NewEarth, festive food does not seem to follow the same pattern as we have on old earth. Here we tend to go with a giant protein and multiple side dishes. On NewEarth it is multiple sources of protein and a few side dishes. Is this because it is easier to collect protein and harder…

On NewEarth when the humans plant seeds, some are genetically modified from old earth and then planted in new soil so they change again with new and different nutrients. Other seeds are indigenous to the new planet and have not been modified at all, still others come from other planets through the smugglers routes. In…
Read MoreLonger Lifespan
What do you think a longer lifespan would mean in your life? Dragons live 200-250 cycles, each cycle is 460 days. Each day is 36 earth hours. If you were to do the math, I think you would agree that dragons have a significantly longer life on NewEarth than even the humans of New earth.…

In Heron’s Bonds you will meet a number of new characters, among them is Trissy, a human woman who has survived a great disease that went through her people, friends and family and killed most of them. She managed to save her little sister Jenny, and a couple of cousins also survived. Her older sisters…
Read MoreWould You Leave Earth?
If an opportunity to get on a ship and go visit another planet fell in your lap, would you go? Would you make plans to pay and relocate to a different planet to live? Would you be willing to walk away from modern technology for the rest of your life? You can imagine the small…
