Earthquakes

By Julia Schmeelk | January 23, 2018

We have many friends in Alaska and this morning early, they were shaken awake by a seismic event. Sirens blared, the ground shook, and  the threat of battering waves of sea water forced them from their homes into designated safe zones. Fortunately they are all safe, sane and hopefully sleeping by now. I do not…

Characters

By Julia Schmeelk | January 23, 2018

One of the problems starting in book 2 or Heron’s Bonds is keeping all the characters straight. As time goes on we’ll provide some charts and things, but my wonderful artist has provided a bit of a visual. Let me know if that helps.

Post a review

By Julia Schmeelk | January 22, 2018

Did you know that the best way to thank a writer is to post a review of their book on Amazon? Based on the number of reviews on their site, Amazon will either promote a book or not. By adding a review, you add to the count that gets an author’s work promoted.

Book 2

By Julia Schmeelk | January 22, 2018

You can see why we have the books all numbered as there are so many, but they also have nicknames. 1 is Pride, 2 is Heron and Trissy. As we publish more of the others I’ll give you the other nicknames. As people read Heron’s Bonds, I hate to put something in the blog that…

Chicken Dog

By Julia Schmeelk | January 22, 2018

Our poor Jethro has a thing about thunder and lighting. It comes about because where he grew up ( he is 11) in Alaska there were plenty of storms, but no crashing noises from the sky or accompanying light shows. During the storms here, he acts as if Velcro had fastened him to us and…

Gordon’s Reaction

By Julia Schmeelk | January 22, 2018

If you were Gordon and had seen your relatives treating Grabon and the others with anything less than respect would you have spoken up before Grabon and Heron noticed there was a problem? As soon as he realized that Trissy noticed, did you expect him to jump from his stool and throw them all out…

Trissy’s Rule

By Julia Schmeelk | January 22, 2018

When Trissy realizes that young dragons are expelled from their home territory at fifteen and that her children are likely to want to go awandering with the dragon youngsters, she plants her very human feet and demands Grabon set a territory rule. Heron is hugely amused by this and so is Grabon, but in the…

Storms

By Julia Schmeelk | January 22, 2018

Weather comes in all shapes and sizes, but storms have a special place in my heart. I am not sure if it was growing up in Chicago, going to college in a Midwest corn field or living in Alaska for twenty years, but I do enjoy a good storm. In the NewEarth books, the storms…

Bonds

By Julia Schmeelk | January 21, 2018

The bonds between mates is obviously different than the bonds of companions. Grabon and Heron both speak of the bond shared between Hanna and Grabon, Gordon and Grabon and then Brom and Grabon and Griss and Grabon and as each dragon gains acceptance it seems a bond is established, something other than just friendship. Those…

Distractions

By Julia Schmeelk | January 21, 2018

There are very few things that I find utterly distracting because I have the uncanny ability to block out the physical world for the one in my head. However the list of things that can snap me back is growing. I am not sure if it is because I am older or because we live…

Grabon’s Friends

By Julia Schmeelk | January 21, 2018

Over the cycles, Grabon of course made friends with many dragons but   One group in particular made a big impression on him and Heron both. First of all they were older, still unsettled and unmated, these five rascals were often in the middle of one kind of trouble or another. Not long before Grabon…

The Heartsinger

By Julia Schmeelk | January 20, 2018

As I am working away on book 3 and getting it ready to meet the world, I thought I would let you know  that the reader gets a bit more information about both humans and dragons, about how they live and what they value. Not that I can say too much without giving anything away,…
