Age Categories
Writing fantasy and not having half naked women with weaponry does not automatically place the story in the young adult category. The NewEarth Series is not considered for people under 18 because of the themes, ages of the characters, topics, sexuality, and concerns of the characters. However, I never object to readers, so if someone…

Heartsingers
Someone asked me where the idea of a Heartsinger came from, and I have to admit I have no idea. What I do know is that humans, and the dragons I created, have a long history of hiding their emotions from others and from themselves. Those emotions hold a great deal of destructive power and…

What Other Story
One of the big questions from publishers, writers, readers, publicists is what book does yours resemble. Is it a “Steven King” type? Is it more of a “Feehan” story line? Are your dragons like Pern dragons? What writer do you emulate in style? Those questions always leave me stammering. Well, my stories are certainly not…

It is amazing how once you get past the worst hump, the rest falls into place. Tomorrow I move onto the tools and laundry. Things are sliding into boxes and bins. Sorting is getting easier. It was hot today, but opening windows really helped. They were doing the last cutting and rolling of hay on…

Territory Dragon
Aside from a psychic difference of their being tendrils on the power line, what makes a territory dragon different from a clan dragon? This is a great question.

Please… Vote!
In my mythical world, humans destroyed the environment and for reasons that I do not elaborate on, instead of fixing the mistakes they made, they hike up prices on natural resources like water and harvest them at great risk and expense from other planets. I am not a prophet, I am not willing to believe…
