Making a List
I feel like Santa, making my list and checking it twice. How did all this get so uneven? I have two people with gifts that are missing. Either I hid them so well, not unreasonable considering the move, or I spaced them and never purchased what I had planned. Either way, Amazon is my friend,…
Shipping Packages
We were doing most of the last of the shopping, getting the boxes together to ship gifts to Alaska. For those who don’t know, the trick is to get gifts that wrapped will fit in a flat rate box, otherwise you basically pay by the inch and the pound. The flat rate is the way…
The Council
Can you imagine being called before the council that visits Grabon? These are the oldest, wisest dragons of the continent, the best at their skills and talents, invited by the previous council to represent their continent to the planet, to set the rules for the territory dragons, and to act as territory dragons for all…
Fixing it Up
In book 4, Hess tells LeeAnn that Hanna and Trissy had fixed up their barn, making it as comfortable as possible. In book 6 Porter mentions that the females of the clan had done the same for him when he had taken over one side of the barn. They do it again when Lars moves…
Family and Fun
I was able to spend most of the day helping to decorate my parents tree and house. It was great and we had a wonderful time going over the stories about the different orniments while my mother played the keyboard, filling the house with music. After collecting orniments not only my whole life, but from…
Wierd Response
First time ever, based on a post to promote my books, I was accused of promoting bestiality. I took a deep breath and answered with, “Not at all. Humans and dragons are not sexually compatible.” I was shocked that someone had interpreted my add that way, but everyone’s imagination works differently. Anyway as a point…
Christmas Decorations
Holiday decorations get more and more complicated. A strand of lights, now has more bulbs, webbing, extra wires and more capacity to become tangled. The labor saving storage does not prevent human error, broken or twisted wires or pieces lost in a move. Dealing with all of those challenges is part of the joy of…
Clothing among the Humans
Needless to say, most dragons don’t wear clothing; however there are some interesting clothing folkways and social expectations among the human settlers of NewEarth that have developed in the last two hundred cycles. Farmers, those of that family who still till the land or even f they don’t but have strong familial ties, all wear…
GoodReads
If you have never been to Goodreads.com it is an excellent place to check out a book and decide if you want to read it. You can go through many reviews by other readers, author biographies and they have lots of information. I personally don’t count how many pages I have read of a book,…
New Illustrations
Athena, my very talented artist and illustrator has managed to bring much of my world into living color. I enjoy her style and imaginative additions as well as the incredible skill it takes to work from description and produce a picture that everyone can share. This latest beast is a ripper, good in stews and…
Book 7 Teaser
If you are one of the readers that is reading and waiting on the release of the next book, allow me to tease you a bit. Brom finds a mate, so does Glinarca. Grabon passes judgement on a dragon with mind manipulation skills. The council pays a second visit and this time they are not…
Reading Order
Like many series, the NewEarth Series is arranged and numbered for reader clarity, but is it possible to read them out of order and enjoy them? Well I would hope that the stories have enough to hold the interest of a new reader no matter which book they begin with, but the larger story of…
