Review from teacher
Your visit was so meaningful! Evidently one student was scheduled to have a very special meeting to talk tech with someone in our building and turned them down to come to class. They didn’t want class to end (as you noticed). What you don’t know is what was next for them in the schedule. You…
Read MoreWeather changes and seasons
Much like the seasons here on earth, on NewEarth the weather and seasons follow a pattern, but then the pattern is not always neat and clean. A frozen storm in the middle of fall can melt and leave a muddy dead autumn in its wake, or spring can arrive latter than expected. Summer can be…
Read MoreFifth grade class
I had a wonderful opportunity during the month of November to be part of a fifth grade groups adventure in writing their first novels. They did a spectacular job and oozed enthusiasm.

Read MoreThankful List
At this time of Thanksgiving, like most Americans, I start making a list. I thought I would share a bit of it here as much of it is reflected in my stories. Hot and cold water in the house is always on the list. If you have ever had to pump and carry water and…
Read MoreTea suggestion
Orange juice is a great thing to add to black tea, it not only adds flavor and sweetness it enhances the flavors well if you add ginger and other spices. Of course fresh orange does the same, but the juice can be concentrated. On a cold night, add spiced rum.
Read MoreTension
Some of the tension in the books include circumstances vs characters, some are characters against self and in other instances it is the will of the planet vs the will of the character. I also have character against character tensions, but those tend to be short lived and more easily resolved. Which type of conflict…

What do you think of these two characters? Are they bad influences, good influences? Should Kimmi keep her sons away from them? Should they be given another shot at respectability?
