Coexistence
Coexistence is a reoccurring theme in all my stories, because it is such a struggle for humans. To be clear, this is not an American problem, or a Russian problem; it is a Human issue. We focus on differences instead of our commonalities. Attributing that same trait to dragons allows us to see it more…
Read MoreDisease
Disease does not know your face, it does not care about your race. It cannot tell rich from poor but it lives in thrives in a crowded space. From the president to the beggar, the human condition is fragile. Our ego screams to lead others by example. This is not a flashing neon light or…
Read MoreThe Characters
As a writer, just because I lack time or energy to drag my characters out and write down their dialog does not mean they are sitting patiently with their hands folded. In fact they age, get smarter, find new places to live, get into trouble and generally carry on with their own concerns. When I…
Read MoreThe Joy of Fiction
I know some people who only read worthy books, or self improvement types of things. A few memorable people told me the only book they have ever read is the Bible. That idea gave me nightmares. What a twisted sense of place and value those people must have had. Ancient text is not the same…
Read MoreNewEarth Equality
The idea of being equal yet different is a huge part of the NewEarth world. Hanna may have been traumatized, but she is equally important, and equally valued to everyone else. Gordon may have the most visible, vibrating power, but he is equally valued as anyone else. Not more, not less. The same is true…
Read MoreGuilt
How many of you have used guilt as a weapon? It’s not one of my favorites when dealing with most people, but it has been known to come in handy from time to time. I’ve been editing The Hunter, getting it ready, and there is a big guilt scene in one part. The reader gets…
Read MoreThe Hunter
After many false starts and lots of rattled nerves, Jo, my first and favorite editor is back to work on book 7. It has been so long and I felt that the story might have gotten scattered and disjointed, I have been taking some time to go through it. Under the circumstances, with our pandemic…
Read MoreRefuge
Moving was hard when we left Alaska, leaving all our friends even as we moved closer to family. Making new friends has been hard because we are so busy all the time, but we have made a few inroads. Mostly situational friends, which are wonderful, but not like the friends we left behind. But as…
Read MorePia and Nyaseth
The thing about Grabon’s Nest that makes it different from most romances, isn’t that Pia is a dragon, although that might raise a few eyebrows. Of course, Grabon is also a dragon, so that shouldn’t really signify. It isn’t the color bigotry- as humans we see that along with false myths about people who might…
Read MoreGordon
Watching the news, following the pandemic, because really what choice do we have, I gave myself a giggle wondering how Gordon and his Farmer’s wisdom would deal with covid19 and all the idiocy that surfaces around a disaster here on old earth. Here are a few of my thoughts… feel free to add your own.…
