The Heartsinger
A number of people have now read Gordon’s Pride and Heron’s Bonds and they are anxious for a clue about what will the third book be about. The love story is Tad and Dotty. Tad is Gordon’s cousin of course, and Hess’s brother. He is a Farmer who is also a trader. He and Hess…
Tech Complications
This somewhat ages me but, I still think of a book as the original lap top. In the course of my career as a teacher I used a type writer, a word processor, a computer and eventually after generations of development a tablet. Having seen all that tech develop and come and go, I got…
Ordinary and Extraordinary
Lots of writers focus on the extraordinary; a battle, or event. I tend to focus on the mundane and let events disrupt the natural flow. I relish the ordinary, daily and seasonal routines and boring predictability. Change is inevitable, growth is expected and life is an exercise in adjustments.
Brews
How is it that medicine for dragons would also work on humans? Now there is an excellent question. Physiologically they are not the same, but they have many of the same systems, so they share illnesses and also cures. It was a surprise to many humans and dragons that the brews work across species. It…
Territory Size
A territory is as far as a dragon can see in some detail in all directions from the highest perch, or so it is described. Later in the series it is clarified that it is as far as that territory dragons energy expands in the planet, limited to a particular amount. For measurement purposes a…
Green Sky?
NewEarth has some interesting features as a planet. It has twin suns and two moons. The days are considerably longer, 36 hours by earth time and each cycle or year is 450-451 days. The sky has a definite greenish cast and it rarely gets completely dark because of the light of the two suns and…
Tad and Hess
The Heartsinger is Tad and Dotty’s story, so you will get to know Tad and by extension Hess much better. However in book 2 you see their connection with their father, you see their connection with each other, with Gordon and you see how easily they adjust their thinking abut the dragons. They had met…

Friendship
Friendships are something that is not overlooked on NewEarth, but they are slightly different then they are in our modern tech society. On that planet they are essential among the male and female characters and they play a vital role among the dragons as well as the humans. Hopefully you will see relationships develope not…
Heron’s Flaw
If you have already read Heron’s Bonds, you know that Heron’s flaw is that his mind is stronger than it should be and even with all his time awandering and learning with Grabon, he still makes mistakes. When he almost kills Trissy and himself is a good example. Repairing the bond between them after such…
Our Moon
Got up early to admire the sight of our moon and saw clouds over the face of it. Then it sank too low to see. The coffee was good, th colors lighting our morning sky impressive, but now I think I’ll sink back under the covers and wait for something beyond sunrise before I greet…
Oven
When it took more than twenty minutes to bake up a pan of biscuits, I knew the oven was broken. It has been a weird day, having someone come and look at the oven, finding out the coil on the bottom was toast. Not really, but burnt, brittle and broken which sounds somehow worse. It…
