Independence Day Celebrations

Otherwise, have a wonderful celebration day in recognition of the best parts of our country. And if the celebration all gets to…
Read MoreStories within Stories
Mia is the ultimate, story with the story, as she is the clan story teller, but aside from that, how many other stories are being told within the series? Can anybody guess or list them? I would start with human history and the implied destruction of earth’s natural environment. In that case, this is a…

With Independence Day tomorrow, book 5 almost ready and leaving to go to RWA right around the corner, I am busy. I am not sure when blowing things up became an American symbol of patriotism, maybe from the beginning, but we do enjoy the show. Or goal is to make some noise, light up the…

Read MoreZack and Tria and Golly
The first youth in Grabon’s nest was Golly, then Tria and last it was Zack. Golly was there knowing he would die there. Tria was a visitor, but she is so small and young that everyone makes room for her inside the nest. Besides, she befriends Golly, which pretty much means she hits everyone’s soft…
