Trissy
Trissy has a tremendous amount of strength to admire. Her skills are undeniable, from carving, child care, cooking, skin sewing, making do with what she has, and general woodcraft, her skills shine. However what makes her unforgettable is her character. She isn’t loud and attention grabbing, she is far more subtle and dignified. Trissy keeps…
Read MoreNewEarth
In the beginning of Gordon’s Pride, readers find out that earth 🌏 has a problem, it has toxic clouds, acid rain, radiation bursts, and all kinds of environmental issues that make survival hard. Clean drinking water costs a lot of money and industry has already started harvesting resources from other planets and bringing them to…
Read MoreMain Characters
Each book has different main characters, but the cast of important characters is huge and growing. Grabon and Heron are always important, as are their mates. You cannot leave off Hanna and Gordon from any story because they are intimitaly involved in everything. In book 6 Porter plays a key role as does Lars and…
Read MoreRecipes
Lots of Hanna’s cooking are things I learned to cook as a child, or things I cooked during other phases of my life. Many of the recipes are straight from my mother’s kitchen. The tea recipes are of my own creation, or something I have bought and recreated out of whole ingredients. A fall favorite…
Read MoreDragons
“Do your dragons have six limbs?” Someone recently asked. And yes they do, two arms, two legs and of course their wings. Some of the other creatures on NewEarth also have six limbs, the pinarts for example, and the lopers. Other animals have four, like the gibber, hens, or the hopper. My dragons are mammals,…
Read MorePorter and Zack
Porter feels somewhat paternal towards Zack. He has provided a lot of guidance as Zack matured, not only protecting and practicing with him, but teaching him along with Grabon and Heron and the rest of the clan. Porter was in many ways, Zack’s person. If you have ever been in that position you know it…
Read MoreCombined Territories
SPOILER🤦♀️ Bryon, my promotion and tech wizard guy of extraordinary powers, suggested I put some kind of warning for spoilers. So consider yourself warned if you have not read book 6 and intend to, this post may contain information you would rather learn in the story. That being said, Heron claims the second territory and…
Read MoreGordon
Gordon is the type of character that sometimes makes you want to grit your teeth, because he exudes male arrogance, yet whenever Hanna needs anything, he simply does it. His power and size should scare Hanna to death after all she has been through, but truthfully, nothing seems to scare her much besides a storm…
Read MoreProgress
I sent off The Hunter yesterday to Jo, my editor. It is the story of Brom, his place in Grabon and Heron’s clan, and the mate that comes to complete him. It has a few other stories woven inside, a few more characters that are introduced, and it expands some familiar characters so the reader…
Read MoreNatural Disasters
You may have noticed that NewEarth does not escape natural disasters. In book 1 there is a sudden storm that moves from warm autumn temperatures to sudden winter cold. In another book there is a swarm of bugs that eats everything in their path. And the driving snow storms play a key role in several…
Read MoreDima: Dragon Council Member
In book 6, Acceptance, Lars and Porter are on a mission and meet Dima, a council member. Lars of course knows her, but Porter has never had that pleasure. To complicate matters, she has never met a human. He offers her tea, as they have hot water on the fire, and she accepts, obviously curious.…
Read MoreHipita
Hipita is quite the character. She was raised in the healing nest of Dima’s territory, a dragon that is old, wise, and sits on the council. Hipita was left their as a youngster, because she was blind. Now she is not completely blind, but dragons tend to take their vision very seriously. Any flaw in…
