Grabon
As a youth, awandering from territory to territory before he met Heron and even after, do you think Grabon was a polite guest, following most of the rules of courtesy? Did he get invited into the territory nest often? I can see him aggressively demanding information, debating the territory dragon’s rules and challenging his reasons.…

Focus
Like going into the grocery store with a list, I attended the RWA conference with a purpose. I wanted to know how to increase the audience for my books. So here is step one, asking my current readers to tell their friends about my books. Wait, there is more. If you haven’t left me a…

The Nicest People
It seems that wherever we go we always meet the nicest people. When we traveled back and forth from Alaska and Chicago, we used to marvel over how genuinely nice people were. On this trip to Denver, we have met so many wonderful people, all willing to share a smile, a good wish for the…
Read MoreDragons as Mammals
What made me think that dragons could be mammals? I was reading something about dinosaurs possibly being mammalian. That sparked one idea and my thoughts dove down a rabbit hole. It works that way with me. Little by little Grabon came to life in my mind and from there the story was formed. Grabon is…
Read MoreGordon
As the story grows and we move from book to book, can you see how Gordon relaxes, becomes more sociable? He is reveling in his own acceptance, in being one of the males and no longer the strongest, biggest and most powerful. He lost no respect from his new friends but he gained equals and…
Read MoreNew People
We always meet the nicest people when we travel. Sometimes it is just a brief exchange, but occasionally we get to discuss something. Language isn’t very much of a barrier for Shawn and I so we talk to just about anyone that we come across. The amazing thing is that most people respond with courtesy,…

Denver is a very cool city to visit. There is a thriving artist community and lots of art everywhere. In addition to the statuary and wall paintings on the side of blank buildings, there is also some cool urban art. I wish I had snapped some pics, but I didn’t have a camera or my…

What a difference a hotel can make. When we were planning the trip I thought being downtown, close to the convention center would he helpful, no crazy morning rush hour, a chance to see the hustle and bustle of Denver. One night and we found a quiet rural/ suburban setting. A bit of a drive,…

Dragons And Humans
Are the humans educated in NewEarth? Are the dragons? Is knowledge revered or scorned? In human history, informtion and knowing more facts or a different application does not always go well for the individual. Even today, people decide they like common knowledge of medicine (folk medicine or alternative medicine) rather than modern medicine because they…
Read MoreGarmen Alert
We May be the only ones, but we get amused sending the Garmen directional program into fits of spasms, getting her lost on country roads and letting her plot her way out. Only yesterday it happened entirely by accident. We werehighway driving through a construction zone detour and she is jabbering about staying on the…

Hope
All through my stories of NewEarth, there is a hopeful and positive push for things to be better. Mistakes can be corrected, bad people can be eliminated even if it means losing patience and blasting them with enough energy to set them aflame and turning their miserable carcasses to ash. Once that gruesome chore is…
