Equality
You may have noticed the theme of equality running like a preschooler clutching sharp scissors through my stories. In order to be allowed to survive, both Grabon and Heron had their turn at playing the pet. Heron would not have been treated with any standing or rights by the dragons, seen as merely a beast.…
Read MoreThe Hunter
If you have not seen it we have the first draft for book 7, The Hunter. It has Brom in the fading light of first sun set, holding one of his hunting tools. I am hoping Athena can still make a few adjustments. We’ll see what she can do. The story, for my curious readers;…
Read MoreNext Hopeful House
As most have now heard, we are a little disappointed. The house we had our sights on, the deal fell through. The initial report showed a bit of radon accumulation, usually a well placed fan can blow it out or maybe a vent installed. Because that first report sent up a red flag, we had…
Read MoreHipita
Hipita is a female dragon you will meet in Acceptance, she eventually becomes Lars’s mate and she is pretty amazing. I don’t want to give too much away, but aside from her colorful appearance, she lived most of her life in a healing nest, always in the company of the sick or the injured. As…
Read MorePlans Change… Again
Plans have a way of changing, it turns out our 2003 Chevy Blazer will probably not haul thousands of pounds for hundreds of miles. While that is good to know, it creates a wrinkle in my planning for the move. After the required bit of head scratching we decided a U-Haul truck, maybe twice would…
Read MoreDragon Council
I, of course, created the dragon system of government, I did not do it on the ideals of democracy. I took more of a feudal view of the continents and each council is in charge of the territory dragons and each territory dragon is in charge of their clan. That does leave all the dragons…
Read MoreHappy Sunday Rant
I sincerely hope everyone who reads this is safe and dry. Watching the news reports, I am reminded that the power of nature is scary and the drive to survive among humans is amazing as we see so many good people come forward to help others. Great work, good job, and thank you! It saddens…
Read MoreRadon Glow
The inspection report is back, lots of little things that can be fixed and one, somewhat glaring problem. One might even say it glows. Radon levels are beyond the acceptable levels in the bedrooms and living areas, never mind the basement. For those who don’t know, radon is radioactive and I’d prefer not to have…
Read MoreFavorite Character
Obviously I have a fondness for all of them, but for right now, today, I would say Hanna is my favorite. She is truly open hearted, generous and kind. In addition she is supportive of everyone around her without losing her own sense of self, which she has been building since the death of her…
Read MoreWeapons
Grabon has an objection to weapons in the hands of his fighters. He never tells them it’s a bad idea, but he never encourages them to get to attached to one either. He doesn’t object to making use of a rock or a stick from the ground, but a special weapon he dismisses as impractical.…
Read MoreSeasons Change
After spending 20 years in Alaska, hot summers are not my favorite. It doesn’t stop me from enjoying the great outdoors, but it makes me 😓 sweat, drip, and generally overheat. I am looking forward to cooler temps and the changing season. I particularly enjoy autumn, the brisk air, changing colors, and the surge of…
Read MoreNot Today!
My husband and I enjoy a number of phrases that we pass back and forth like a card that is guaranteed to make either one of us grin. ‘Not today’ is one of those phrases. ”Do we need to paint the garage?” Not today! ”Did you use the last of the butter?” Not today! Tha…
