Discussions on NewEarth

I wanted a way for my readers to easily discuss NewEarth, and perhaps gain some insight that others who don't read my blog may not gain. The Blog posts below may contain information not contained in the books, or address questions from my readers.

Generational Changes

If we start with this world, one can make assumptions about people born in the thirties, the fifties, the seventies, and the nineties. They are different than those born after the computer revolution, and those born now. Current children will be that much more different than the generations before them and so it will continue…

Colorful World

I was lucky enough to meet my fantastic NewEarth Artist while I was living in Missouri. She is an amazing woman with a talent for translating words into visuals. I described the scenes from the stories and she provided the images, bringing details to life, including an abundance of color. The natural world here on…

Refugees

What does it take to motivate someone to pack up and leave their home, their culture, their food, religion, community, family, and language? People do it all over the world looking to escape the intolerable or find hope when it is lost. My Grandfather came to this country at 16 with an address in his…

Cookies

I happen to be a huge fan of cookies, one of the original cookie monsters. I recently had the opportunity to sample some amazing cookies, and of course I make some of my own in different flavors, textures, and sizes. As a kid I started making cookies and when I go through periods of trying…

Reimagining

I happen to be a huge fan of public education. Not only did I go to public school and then private Universities, but I have spent many wonderful years teaching in public schools, so I know many very talented public educators. That being said, I like the idea of mass education open to everyone and…

Fictional Death

As a world creator who makes the attempt to capture other people’s imagination and help them see their own reality in a clearer, kinder, and more thoughtful way I get caught by writer’s advice. The most recent is the need for death, for death rituals to develop and bind the characters tighter. But the truth…

The Rules

On NewEarth, there is a set of rules known to all the dragons of the continent. Those rules come first from the planet and then are added to from the council of twelve of the oldest and wisest dragons. How are the council dragons chosen? They are not elected, they are invited to fill a…

Funny 2

I am old. I freely admit I went through college, my under graduate degree, using an electric typewriter, or paying someone to type my papers after I wrote them by hand. I grew up without a dishwasher or microwave. So I lack some of the connectedness that some younger people have. Technology whirls around me…

Finding a Mate

The journey that the dragons face in finding a mate, that one compatible mind that can link with yours is almost an impossible task, yet most dragons make the attempt. Male and female, dominant or submissive, they begin to look, to search, to define what they believe the planet would seek for them. Some give…

The Spy Continued.

Kerg is a mature dragon, an experienced fighter, with a serious problem. He wants, needs, craves, justice for his dead friend Joons and his small youngster Denu. The council member has promised to pass judgement on the rule breakers, those raiders from between territories if he spies on Grabon, a long time friend and fighting…

Dragon Sinus Infection

Grabon and the other dragons aim snot at one another and their human friends in a display of disgust and disagreement in a hard snort. This is an action that elicits a strong reaction from female dragons, non fighting male dragons, and most humans. But imagine if they had a sinus infection and the snot…

Manufacturing

I don’t know if most readers have puzzled out the manufacturing needs of NewEarth and how some goods are made on planet with local resources and others are brought in from off planet, but as the writer, these are difficulties and balances that keep me up at night. Or wake me in the middle of…
