Found Dog
We are the rescue people! I suppose I should be accustomed, but I forget between times. A dog showed up in the neighbor’s barn. Not a scrappy outdoor dog, mind you. A young, Australian Shepherd mix puppy, 20 lbs wet and terrified. She was skinny, tired, tick and flea bitten and after some debate, I…

We are back on the hunt for our next hopeful house, scouring adds, photos and listings, looking for just the right place to move into. It is always an interesting processes; we collect possibilities and my parents go exploring, reporting back via FaceTime and telephone. I am of course in Missouri, working to get book…

Book 7 Cover
The Hunter Cover was updated by Athena to show off both suns and I am so thrilled. I agree with some of my readers that the light reflecting off his gray coloring makes him glow like a statue. Also I love the colors and light, the glimpse into NewEarth and his sense of confidence and…

Kindness Spreads
Ever notice that nobody disputes the spread of negativity, bad attitude, or criminal mischief? That’s because we have all seen it work through a crowd, an office, or a family. It is pervasive and quick to spring up if even one strong root is allowed to grow. The same is true of cheerfulness, happiness, and…

News
Like most Americans today I wake up with a dreaded feeling about what kind of mess my country has gotten into overnight. I check in a couple of times a day to monitor the goofy drama of politics and make sure there isn’t something I need to know, like a hurricane, landslides, eruptions or some…

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.…

Next 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…

Hipita
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…

Plans 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…

Dragon 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…
