Romance
There is a romance flavor to each of my books, some are a bit steamier than others, but the idea is each book includes a newly mated pair, but also the entire territory and other characters. I could have written it sidelining the relationships, but that would have left each aspect of the story less…
Youngsters
Are we going to get to see the youngsters, Starseth and Redseth mature? One interested reader asked recently. Can you picture Brom teaching his daughter how to fly? Yes, that is in a future book. So hang onto your hats as this wild ride runs full steam ahead. All kinds of interesting tidbits are in…
New Pics
Athena my artist is almost always working on something. Her most recent was giving me fits, getting it to load on the site but I will post it soon. This one is another favorite, the youngsters in their wagons. Trissy and Rok helping out. I would bet it took some work for Starseth and Redseth…
My Way
I am so guilty of having a particular way of doing things and confusing my way with the right way as if how I wash dishes were the only way to wash dishes. The object of course is to have germ free dishes to put in the cabinet, grease free and ready to use again.…
Corn Dogs
We went to the county fair yesterday. It had more rides than we expected and less booths. Not that this areas is lacking in vendors, or talented artisans, or innovative people looking to gain attention, but either they weren’t invited to participate or a booth was overpriced. I sensed a story, but have yet to…
Epic Fantasy
When I first came up with the story of NewEarth it was one small piece at a time. However, the bigger pieces were already there. The whole idea of surviving and overcoming abuse and neglect. The coping with differences, being mistrusted over strength and being cast out or aside in favor of mediocrity, those roots…
Coffee
As a baby I would beg for sips, as a toddler I had coffee in my milk, as I grew older, less milk and more coffee and as an adult coffee was my drink. I drank it cold, hot black, light with sugar and without. As time went on, I drank much less of it,…
Flint of Dreams
As a writer, I read a lot and quickly. Last night I spent a couple of hours reading Flint of Dreams, available on Amazon, by Charles Peterson Sheppard. It is a lengthy book so I am not done, but so far it is a gritty, psychic story set in our own flawed world with lots…
Summer
From our house to yours, may you have a fun filled summer, with flowers, fruits and bounty filling up your door. Happy Solstice! Happy Summer! Happy Long Days!
Trissy And Heron
As the market develops it creates opportunities for her to sell her carvings, for Heron to sell his wagons, for them to really flourish as far as that goes. However, that is incidental because it also gives them both a chance to see human wares, to purchase and trade for them and to set down…
Fruity Teas
One of the best things about summer is the fruity drinks. I cut up a fresh pineapple and saved a few odd shaped chunks, added some frozen blackberries and raspberries to a pitcher of tea with a little sugar and presto, summer fruit tea. In the evening when the writing and editing is done, a…
Carnival
When I was a kid growing up in Rogers Park in Chicago there was a yearly fundraiser and activity that my entire family participated in. It was the carnival. My mother sold ride tickets, my father ran a game and as we grew up we went from assisting my dad to running our own gaming…
