Ankles and Toes
A pain in the ankle or toe can stop you from moving, even though it is not the part you necessarily need, but the pain tends to radiate in all directions at once. The same is true of fingers and wrists, but they can at least be babied without having to park yourself in one…
Read MoreDot
Have you ever met someone who will work themselves to death trying to meet expectations, no matter how ridiculous those expectations are? That is Dot. She is loyal, loving, kind and she is a work horse, someone who looks at every situation and does all that she can to help move things. Then as everyone…
Read MoreSo Excited
I am so excited for people to read book 3 The Heartsinger because it introduces a new talent and gives a bigger peek at the larger world of NewEarth. While on a mission to rescue Brom and Griss’s youngsters, Tad and Hess encounter something unexpected. Her name is Evelyn, but everyone calls her Dot. Look…
Read MoreSnow Piles
As our world gets a light drenching and the temp creeps over freezing all the piles of white frozen fluff melt slowly, aquiring a gray film. Everything looks dingy until the next freeze and the next layer of white fluff falls from the sky.
Read MorePower and Muscle
There are some days when I wish I had the ability to coordinate power and muscle as so many of my characters do, turning a ten hour task into one completed in a few hours, still sweaty and hard, but possible. It would be amazing to build a structure, or strip logs in a portion…

When faced with another species, intelligent and different from us, as humans would we be welcoming and friendly? I think it would depend entirely on the confidence of the humans. Some would immediately see the threat, others the benefits. Some would be welcoming, others cautious and I think the confident would assess strength and weaknesses…

In the process of trying to find out what is going on in our country, as a concerned citizen and conscientious voter, I actively seek out various points of view on the news. Some I agree with, some I do not and others I simply find interesting. Where three sources from three differing points of…
Read MoreImagination
Obviously I have some imaginative ear worm that I picked up and nurtured as a small child. It was more than an imaginary friend and less than a full retreat from reality, but it was a safe haven, a place I could play, learn, and enjoy. As an adult, snippets of imagination have always slipped…
Read MoreShift and Sort
Like most people, because of circumstances beyond my control, I end up with a pile of stuff in a place where a pile is inconvenient. Then the shift and sort begins and the exploration and discovery. Have you ever noticed that fairies and trolls add things to existing piles when you aren’t looking? Sometimes they…
