NewEarth - Fanger

Many of the animals that are hunted by the dragons as food sources are predators. A few of them are herbivores, but that is the primary dietary difference between meat choices between the dragons and the humans. Dragons traditionally did not hunt based on food flavor or texture, humans if given a choice, do.

Tall Grass Path

On the market grounds as described in Healing, NewEarth4, there is a tall grass path that leads to the storytellers cove. In the picture that Athena drew, you can see the path, as well as the tea stand where everyone pics up a cup of tea on their way into the cove to listen to…

NewEarth 5 - Grabon's Nest by Julia Schmeelk

As I am working on book 5, some very interesting comments are coming in. Partially from the questions on theme and genre but also from reviews on Gordon’s Pride.

Car Travel

After spending the day in the car and traveling over 600 miles, I am grateful for the combustion engine. It is fun to fantasize about cattle or elephants pulling a wagon and I love horse drawn carriages, but for sheer convenience and speed the only thing that beats a car is a plane and that…
