It Rained
All day yesterday we had little spits of water. The birdbath is full, the ground a bit soggy, we even still have a small puddle or two. Best of all, some of the burnt brown is giving way to green shoots. Some of the bushes that still have leaves are looking perkier, not so shriveled…
Reviews Make My Day!
This quote is taken from a discussion between Gordon and Hanna, while she is adjusting to their bond, the changes in her life. She is struggling with her loss, but also with belonging to something new. I remember reading a similar exchange in a historical romance when I was pretty young. That means it was…
Heron and Trissy
If Heron is a territory dragon, a Woodsmen, a wagon maker, Farmer’s Friend and companion; Trissy is a Woodmen, carver, craftsmen, parent and domestically skilled. She happens to be strongly connected to plants, Heron is most strongly connected to animals. They have many of the same skills with a few differences. Jenny too has many…
Hipita the Blind Dragon
Sometime in the course of Acceptance, NewEarth6, readers are going to meet a blind dragon. By human standards we would call her poorly sighted, but vision problems among dragons are rare and often fatal. I won’t tell you what happens, but she adds to the reader’s understanding of dragons in some unexpected ways. Another thing…
Nut Case Dog
The mighty Jethro, my nut case dog, has associated the flash of lightning with the terrifying roll of thunder. So he woke me up at the dark hour of 4am because the sky had an occasional flash. We finally got a few drops of moisture from the sky yesterday and during the night, but without…

World Building
As I am putting together the story in book 14, Grabon’s Territory has expanded in many amazing ways and is now called the Combined Territories. I leave readers to figure out how that happened, but descriptions of the other continents, different cultures, and other off-world visitors are included.
Grabon and Heron Companions
That bond they share, have you noticed that neither one of them understand how the bond works? Is it going to lengthen Heron’s life span? Is it going to shorten Grabon’s. How will it affect their mates? How does it work among dragons? Maybe one of the visitors will know something about Psychic Bonds, maybe…
Cereal and Cows
I am sure I mentioned that my friend was visiting and has returned with her amazing daughter, back to their real life in Alaska. Well that left me with a good amount of chocolate peanut butter cereal. I sniffed it and shuddered, Shawn just shook his head. I dropped the bag in the garbage when…
Special Day!
It is a writing day, always special in my book and I am steaming ahead on book 14. Hopefully by the time I am done writing, the story still makes sense. But today is also my wonderful mother’s 79th birthday. Unfortunately we are not together, but my brother is with her, celebrating his own monumental…
Reviews and comments
I love going on Goodreads or checking on Amazon and finding a new review. It always makes my day brighter, so thanks everyone. For those of you who are are unfamiliar with Goodreads, it is far easier to leave a review there than on Amazon. I have heard from several readers that while they submit…
