My friend is visiting from Alaska. She is here with her daughter and we are enjoying a week filled with fun and play before she goes back to her classroom and I sink back into the world of NewEarth. Yesterday we went and bought 75lbs of fruit to mess with; 25lbs of peaches, cherries and…

Heron and Trissy
Trissy struggled not to let Heron see what his descriptions of his past meant to her or how she felt like she could not compare to his first love. It is terrible to have a ghost rival, a memory to compete with that is enshrouded in perfection. Trissy was not so secure in her own…

Home at Last
After traveling, there is great comfort in your own bed, your own pillow, your own bathroom. This morning I woke beyond early and sat in my own kitchen sipping tea. It was a grand adventure, an excellent trip we had, but it is also good to be home. I am giving away a free book…

For those of you who are anxiously awaiting the sixth NewEarth novel, I can tell you that the main character is Lars and he finds acceptance with many; but most especially with his mate, Hipita.
Read MoreCrazy Horse
If you ever have an opportunity to stop and see the mountain sculpture of Crazy Horse, do that. It is amazing, but even more so is the education center, the college, the plans that stretch far into the future offering employment and purpose to a group of people who are often marginalized. In today’s world…

Have you ever stopped to look at all the different feathered friends in your area during the summer? Ducks, cranes, egrets and herons join the geese around waterways.

Heron and Trissy
In book 2 Heron is relieved that he had told Trissy about the fires that had destroyed his earlier life. They did a lot of talking in his dreams so he wouldn’t have to relive the memories. I was thinking about including those discussion in posts as well as some of their other conversations. Is…

Would You Go?
When the human settlers first arrived on NewEarth, determined to protect the environment but addicted to technology, how much disposable tech do you think they brought? I bet they had solar chargers for devices they thought they needed, weapons and even some communication devices. Only later, after they were faced with what to do with…

Sight Seeing
Last night I was unable to blog anything because our WiFi signal was so weak. I couldn’t FaceTime my parents either, but I was at least able to call. It is funny how some signals are stronger than others and determine what you can and cannot do on line. It can be frustrating, but it is…
