Nice words…
As a writer there is no greater compliment than having a reader leave a review. The first review for Heron’s Bonds was left on Amazon and of course we have six reviews for Gordon’s Pride on Amazon. If you enjoy the story and want to compliment the author, leave a review, I guarantee you they…
Read MoreBefore the Sun
Some mornings the world is more visible before the sun rises. In that quiet moment, the light from the moon on the snow, reflecting back on a dark sky, slowly catching color from a distant dawn, all seems clear. Then a few moments later, shadows shift and reality returns and the world is as confusing…
Read MoreCrying over Characters
One of the strangest parts of being a writer is that these characters that I build become very real to me and I laugh over their triumphs and cry over their failures and sometimes what happens to them breaks my heart. In Gordon’s Pride I shed my first tear when Hanna tries to hand Gordon…
Read MoreAwkward Meeting
The scene where Trissy and Hanna meet for the first time, when Heron and Gordon leave them alone in Hanna’s kitchen, is so intense with unspoken voices. It reminded me of my first time alone with my sister-in-law, so much to say and no graceful way to even begin. Both women had things to say…
Read MoreKimmi
Can you imagine Kimmi’s reaction to Brom finding Jenny by using energy the way he does? I don’t mean her outward reaction, but her internal one. One of the reasons that Hanna and Gordon, Trissy and Heron find her difficult in the beginning is because she believes herself to be superior. She and Thorn believe…

Being sick with the flu, a cold or bronchitus generally requires taking that nasty red stuff. You know the stuff, it only tastes good when you are too sick to appreciate it. The thing is, it saves your life, it helps you cough out those nasty buggers, nesting in your lungs. It unclogges your nose…
Read MoreStereotypes
It is interesting how people make assumptions that because I have one non dominant, traumatized female character that all the others will be similar. I do not believe that is true, but I invite you to read the stories and judge for yourself. No matter how you twist a person with Hanna’s background, they are…
Read MoreSnorting
In the books there are a few references to Grabon snorting, including mucus. Generally Gordon and Heron are amused while the women are grossed out. It seems that dragons have soft snorts and then the harsh one that isi an expression of disgust. Due to their nose structures, it seems that dragons have the ability…
Read MoreCoexist or Die
Humans have to learn to coexist with the dragons or they are at a terrible disadvantage. Not only are they seriously outnumbered, but generally the dragons have a stronger connection to the planet which means they have greater psychic abilities. Fortunately the dragons see their purpose as following the lead of the planet, which seems…
