Discussions on NewEarth

I got a packet from Jo, my editor, corrections and suggestions and all manner of work I can do, so I spent the day on NewEarth, among the characters, immersed in plot and drama. When you have had a chance to spend some time with Mox, I hope readers will tell me what they think…

Tomorrow we start the new Gordon’s Pride give-away. It is only for 3 days, but it encourages new readers to start the series. Gordon’s Pride is a romance, the relationship between Gordon and Hanna that blooms and grows throughout the series. But it is also about Heron, Grabon and many other characters. It is the…

Still no release date, but Jo is making progress, or so she tells me. We’ll see when I get the manuscript back and I can see what needs to be done. Today I took some googone, some q-tips and cleaned my keyboard. I wear out keys from time to time, but these are still in…

With two opposable thumbs on each hand and two more thumbs on each foot, claws that are strong and sharp enough to rip and strip meat from bone, the dragons of NewEarth are well adapted to life on their beloved planet. They have a mane of fur on the back of their heads, moving down…

Wagons are interesting, and a bit complex when you think about designing them for different animals that range in sizes and for a variety of purposes.

Listening to Heron and the boy discuss the small creatures and the gossip they carry from tree to tree, you get the sense that they are the busybodies of…

What is your favorite relationship that is highlighted in the New Earth Series? Is it the companion bond between Grabon and Heron? Or do you prefer the companion bond between Hess and Tad? Or maybe you prefer the one between Porter and Lars, or even between Jamie and Janie. The companion bond is a life…

The story of Brom and Mox is delayed again, I got a note from Jo my poor overstressed editor. She has not had a chance to even look at it for the past week. Her last installment covered only 40 pages. She is hoping that by the end of this month or possibly the middle…

Can you imagine having a crazy sister who killed your parents? Let’s not consider the fact that Maggie poisoned her a little bit every day, tore apart her confidence, and resented the hell out of her. We can pretend that Dotty’s parents meant well and intended no harm in the way they treated Dotty as…
