Tria
In book 4 Healing, Tria is introduced, first as a visitor and then sort of invited into Grabon’s nest. She is a youth, a young dragon, between being a youngster and not yet sexually mature. She has little experience, is still figuring things out and she wanders into Grabon’s territory drawn in by the excitement…
Read MoreFinding a Mate
Since dragons go awandering at fifteen cycles, educate themselves and become fully mature around fifty cycles, when do they start searching for a mate? That is an interesting thought. Dragons sexually mature at twenty-two to twenty-six cycles, so probably sometime after that, but they start dreaming and fantasizing about their potential mate as youngsters. The…

New Pics
Athena my incredible artist has been hard at work creating visual scenes to go with various parts of book 5. The cover for Grabon’s Nest is very interesting and somewhat revealing, but I am trying not to give too much away. One of the new scenes is in the market, another in the nest at…

Grabon as King
Obviously the government structure of NewEarth based on the dragon’s system is different from what we have seen on oldearth but historically it resembles the fiefdom or feudal systems of old.

Game and Grains
Since NewEarth is a different planet and growing food from OldEarth doesn’t always work as expected, there are a number of indigenous species that the humans have cultivated and even more that the dragons have used.

When Grabon made that happen, Brom and Griss were faced with certain decisions about how to raise their youngsters and you see evidence of those shifting decisions all the time.

Car Travel
After spending the day in the car and traveling over 600 miles, I am grateful for the combustion engine. It is fun to fantasize about cattle or elephants pulling a wagon and I love horse drawn carriages, but for sheer convenience and speed the only thing that beats a car is a plane and that…

Dragon Hands
NewEarth has very little technology as we think of it but there are a number of tools, some familiar to humans others more familiar to dragons. The key differences between their two tool types have more to do with culture and the shape of their hands. Dragons have two thumbs on each hand. That makes…

New Equipment
It is entirely a human concern, the excitement and dread of getting new equipment. Most of us have experienced having to learn a new way of doing something with a new tool. I can remember wishing I could use the old word processessor. My last vacuum had different buttons and I could find them in…

Awandering
Why would dragons kick their new youths out of the nest to find out for themselves how big the world is? What is the importance of that journey to adulthood? Why is self reliance so important and self discovery essential to a dragon’s development? Among humans, do our youth need to establish independence? They do…
