Hens
It might not seem essential to have them drawn and focus so much attention on one small animal, but the hens of NewEarth are not only a domesticated meat source, they are a domesticated egg source which allows for all manner of cooking. Over time on NewEarth hens will be in even greater demand. Can…

Genre
A good friend and loyal reader suggested the genre for the NewEarth Series is the same as Utopia by Sir Thomas Moore who died in 1535. Utopian Literature, shared by many of the science fiction classics, either highlight a dystopian world or a utopian one thereby pointing out the differences with our own. True, although…

Meeting People
I love getting a chance to walk around a festival, speak to venders, watch people and gather stories. This one survived a quadruple bypass, the one over there lost his wife and needed a new hobby, something to use up his time alone. This one couple works together making pottery. It makes them closer, gives…

Read MorePlanting
There is something so satisfying about starting a garden from seed. I nurture these little plants inside during the winter and now, this week, I am putting them out in the garden. Of course there are plants that I sew directly in the garden, but not the majority, most of them I started inside. It…

As mates, Mia and Pit’s bond is still growing. They obviously had some past difficulties but they seem to be working through that. Do you think Mia has really committed herself to Grabon and the territory? As the Storyteller, she is a culture keeper, one who helps mold the way the territory is perceived. If…
Read MoreHess
Hess wants the market to be successful in bringing in people, both dragon and human so they can be educated about one another. Making money is a secondary concern. His partners, Tad, Pit and Thane are in agreement, which allows them to use resources differently than they would if their primary goal was to relieve…
Read MoreThe Way of Power
Depending on a person’s connection to the planet, it affects the type and amount of power a person controls. Since every animal, plant and organism has some form of connection, they all have some level of power. That power can be used to move objects, share thoughts, emotions, or sensations. It can also be used…
