Reviews Arrive
As an author, I cannot stress enough how important reviews are. It is not just marketing or promotion, Amazon promotion or sales; it is about building confidence as a writer. Reviews tell the writer that they are doing something right, or they need to improve a particular area. Today was pretty exciting. I got two…

Exciting Purchase
We now have two vehicles. I am not sure how long that will last, but we added to the occupants of our driveway for now. This new vehicle is in good shape and should carry Shawn’s scooter with ease. It would never accommodate a dragon as a passenger, but few modern conveyances would. It occurred…

Mammalian Dragons
With two opposable thumbs on each hand and two more thumbs on each foot, claws that are strong and sharp enough to rip and strip meat from bone, the dragons of NewEarth are well adapted to life on their beloved planet. They have a mane of fur on the back of their heads, moving down…

Wagons
Wagons are interesting, and a bit complex when you think about designing them for different animals that range in sizes and for a variety of purposes.

Busy Saturday!
Despite the rain and warmer weather, it was above 32, for which we were glad, we needed to clean out the 4-6 inches of packed ice from in front of the garage. Why you ask, frowning in puzzlement? It was melting and flooding the garage. So I packed up our tools, my husband’s amazing scooter…

The Gibbers
The first gibber made his contribution when Kev first speaks to one in Gordon’s Pride and he finds out someone has been in Hanna’s small cottage. Listening to Heron and the boy discuss the small creatures and the gossip they carry from tree to tree, you get the sense that they are the busybodies of…
