Youngsters
When Trissy points her human finger at Grabon and demands a rule preventing any youngster from being expelled from the nest at fifteen, is she influenced by Heron’s understanding and feelings about what happens to maturing dragons? Why does Heron act as if he does not want to be involved in the discussion? Great questions…
Dry to Wet
The weather is fickle in the Midwest. Dry as dust, flash floods and fluctuating temps can make anyone expand their bag of emergency equipment. It has always been weird, only now it is even weirder. The extreames are growing so we get more. If you think we are confused by shifting patterns imagine the squirrels,…
Cross Culture
If you have ever found something fascinating in someone else’s culture from food to customs that you chose to add to your own, you understand what is happening between the humans and the dragons in Grabon’s Territory. Personally we have many things we have found and adopted, from a fancy table garbage for dining to…
Tea
On NewEarth, they refer to tea all the time. Gordon grows tea, and humans drink tea and fruits, roots and spices can be added to alter flavor or enhance the tea. Is it the same plant on earth? No. Is it similar in that leaves are dried and it is activated in boiling water, yes.…
Communication

Have you ever wondered…

Ankles and Toes
A pain in the ankle or toe can stop you from moving, even though it is not the part you necessarily need, but the pain tends to radiate in all directions at once. The same is true of fingers and wrists, but they can at least be babied without having to park yourself in one…
Dot
Have you ever met someone who will work themselves to death trying to meet expectations, no matter how ridiculous those expectations are? That is Dot. She is loyal, loving, kind and she is a work horse, someone who looks at every situation and does all that she can to help move things. Then as everyone…
So Excited
I am so excited for people to read book 3 The Heartsinger because it introduces a new talent and gives a bigger peek at the larger world of NewEarth. While on a mission to rescue Brom and Griss’s youngsters, Tad and Hess encounter something unexpected. Her name is Evelyn, but everyone calls her Dot. Look…
Snow Piles
As our world gets a light drenching and the temp creeps over freezing all the piles of white frozen fluff melt slowly, aquiring a gray film. Everything looks dingy until the next freeze and the next layer of white fluff falls from the sky.
