NewEarth’s Continents
As a green planet with plenty of plants and animals, there also had to be large bodies of water. I decided long ago on 5 continents. Each continent is different. Yes in future books there will be hints as to cultures and lifestyles on some of the other continents. No, I am not going to…
Read MoreMornings
Some people act like mornings are meant for sleeping. For me, I enjoy my mornings and my creativity and energy is high. Among my characters I created both types, those that are early happy risers and those who would prefer to see the sun later in the day. What type of person are you?
Read MoreCharacters
The main Characters in Gordon’s Pride include Gordon, Hanna, Grabon and Heron. Gordon is a huge man. His connection with the planet is intimidating in its strength. Even among the other Farmers he stands out. Because of his power, strength and size, most people are uncomfortable in his presence. In turn that makes Gordon less pleasant…
Read MoreDaylight and Darkness
On NewEarth, there are a lot of time markers without it being time as we use on earth. Part of that is because the days and nights are longer. In Grabon’s territory there are 4 full seasons, but the summer is long enough to grow and harvest tropical and semi-tropical crops. A cycle or year…
Read MoreBooks
Now anyone who knows me is aware that I read. I am seldom found without a book stashed in my bag or in my hand. I read fiction and non-fiction, classics and popular fiction. I read romance, science-fiction, fantasy, contemporary and pretty much anything. I read the news, I seldom watch it. I read for…
Read MoreHuman adoption by the planet
The NewEarth Series is all about human adoption by the planet. The humans have been on NewEarth for 200 years, they are now known by the planet and each has a connection that the planet feels she understands. That being said, the dragons have very little knowledge of the humans, the humans have even less knowledge…
Read MoreWhy they are called dragons
When the first settlers landed on the planet, they had been there only a few days and were still trying to adjust to 36 hour earth time days as well as two moons and the greener sky, when a dragon flew in. These settlers were completely unprepared, unconnected to the planet and were living in…
Read MoreDragons are not really dragons
Yes I know that my dragons are different. First they are mammals, with hair and give live birth. They are psychic, but their power comes from the planet. They do not breathe fire, they do not hoard gold. Some are intellectuals, others are not, but they all possess a keen intelligence. Remember that dragons live…
Read MoreThe planet is alive
There are a number of references to the planet and the planet’s power in Gordon’s Pride but to clarify, yes the planet is alive, thinks, has power and interacts with her people. Traditionally her people were the dragons. The planet has power of her own, in fact has all the power, and shares it with the plants…
Read MoreBest part of being a writer
All over the internet there are people who think the best part of being a writer is going to work in comfy clothes and working in an isolated cave. Not me, the best part of being a writer, so far, is being able to spend time with family and friends. I can travel to see…
Read MoreWonderful people
As I fumble my way through putting out this first book, the people I have been dealing with have been amazing. It would be very easy to be lost in a sea of new information. Instead, I have found that people are genuinely nice and willing to help and adjust as I decide every small…
