Rok
Rok is an interesting character. Aside from him being a dragon, one of Grabon’s rough and tumble friends, he was also the dragon sent to negotiate on Grabon’s behalf. He seems to know more about formal protocol than the rest and he invents things. In Healing, book 4, you see another side of him, you…
Maggie
If you have read book 3, The Heartsinger, you met Dotty’s sister Maggie. If not, read no farther because there are too many points that are giveaways. Half the fun of this story is finding the clues for yourself to put together the larger picture. As a reader, did you like Maggie when you first…
Heartsinging
The idea that each person hears only what they need, as one aspect of the song the Heartsinger offers, is based on my understanding of sensory perception. Our eyes may all see the same image, but our perceptions will all be different. If we had the ability to share memories, I think we would be…
How the Grarden Grows
Gardening is a gamble of time, a little money, labor, and love. It would be a terrible chore if a person didn’t relish escaping the house 🏠 , toiling in the dirt, or playing with water💧 in the heat. Inside people should not garden. On the other hand, it is the best excuse to walk…
Meat and Hunting
I have a very practical view of hunting, especially since I like to eat. Meat is a necessity in my diet and those in my family, so the source of that meat is no mystery. I like mine wrapped in plastic, either containers or wrap, ziplock bag or even tied. Occasionally it comes in a…
Footprints in the Mud
One of the things my husband and I love to do is go for walks where few people have been. Fortunately, and this was the plan, we live in a place that we have plenty of choices to find the perfect spot. Anyway after a rain is the perfect time to go to look at…
Plants and Wind
I start all my plants from seeds, so I had over 120 seedlings that needed to be repotted yesterday, awaiting the arrival of warmer temps so they can sit outside. Normally I set up the saw horses, make a table and play with the dirt and pots outside, but the wind had my garbage cans…
NewEarth is Different
Aside from it being a different planet, NewEarth has 2 suns, 2 moons and those that live there all have a psychic connection to what everyone calls the planet. If you were hoping for the full explanation in this post, sorry to disappoint, but you’ll have to keep reading to find out exactly what the…
Waiting- How much?
In my books I give a certain amount of attention to the fact that dragons are taught to wait, they wait at the edge of a nest to be acknowledged, they wait for a number of things when visiting a new territory and they become good at it. Some of the humans are not as…
Red Balloon
An unexpected red Mylar Balloon blew into our lives this morning. At first report it entertained the farm dogs, being chased across the front yard until it managed to escape around the corner by the door of the barn. It’s shiny red heart shape caught the wind and it danced, confusing my husband until he…
Heartsinger
You probably noticed that in book 3 the plan for a market that appeals to both dragons and humans also included smuggled goods from off planet. This amazingly does not seem to surprise the dragons which the humans chalk up to not wanting to display their shock and amazement. Look for a different answer in…
Discrimination
As a reader, you have probably noticed that aside from the dragons Grabon has chosen, the others really do not view humans as people. They might be pets or pests, but certainly not people. They sort of treat Grabon like the alpha male who dresses his dog in a sweater. They only roll their eyes…
