Pish is a side character from Acceptance:NewEarth6 who has a crooked foot due to an injury, is a youth, and was kind to Hipita. Did I mention that Hipita is poorly sighted? For most dragons that is a big deal. For Hipita as a youngster it was devastating. She was left in a healers nest…

You may have noticed the theme of equality running like a preschooler clutching sharp scissors through my stories. In order to be allowed to survive, both Grabon and Heron had their turn at playing the pet. Heron would not have been treated with any standing or rights by the dragons, seen as merely a beast.…

If you have not seen it we have the first draft for book 7, The Hunter. It has Brom in the fading light of first sun set, holding one of his hunting tools. I am hoping Athena can still make a few adjustments. We’ll see what she can do. The story, for my curious readers;…

As most have now heard, we are a little disappointed. The house we had our sights on, the deal fell through. The initial report showed a bit of radon accumulation, usually a well placed fan can blow it out or maybe a vent installed. Because that first report sent up a red flag, we had…

Hipita is a female dragon you will meet in Acceptance, she eventually becomes Lars’s mate and she is pretty amazing. I don’t want to give too much away, but aside from her colorful appearance, she lived most of her life in a healing nest, always in the company of the sick or the injured. As…

I, of course, created the dragon system of government, I did not do it on the ideals of democracy. I took more of a feudal view of the continents and each council is in charge of the territory dragons and each territory dragon is in charge of their clan. That does leave all the dragons…

Obviously I have a fondness for all of them, but for right now, today, I would say Hanna is my favorite. She is truly open hearted, generous and kind. In addition she is supportive of everyone around her without losing her own sense of self, which she has been building since the death of her…

Grabon has an objection to weapons in the hands of his fighters. He never tells them it’s a bad idea, but he never encourages them to get to attached to one either. He doesn’t object to making use of a rock or a stick from the ground, but a special weapon he dismisses as impractical.…

A major theme that runs through all of the NewEarth stories is the value of self knowledge and self acceptance but also the hazards of making a mistake in setting our limits and boundaries in the wrong place. Self knowledge is not absolute, what we think about ourselves is not constant and it is not…

With few or no paper products used on NewEarth, what happens with all the mugs and cups that people take at the market? Who collects and washes them? How far do cup collectors have to go to find them? Are there people who search the market grounds looking for empty cups and bringing them all…

There are a few scenes, in different books, where Grabon, the territory dragon himself, steps in it by either saying the wrong thing, or causing someone hurt or embarrassment. He usually feels bad and tries to fix it, and like all of us sometimes it works and occasionally he makes the situation worse. The reader…

Aside from wings and tails, large snouts and claws, are dragons different from humans? There are some surprising cultural difference involving sex, going to the bathroom, modesty, and their views on maturation. Dragons have a much longer history with the planet, so they know more about her, what she needs, what she likes, what they…
