It is not that dragons don’t trade, it is not that they aren’t industrious, but they don’t trade and sell goods like humans with a drive and abandon towards consumerism. However, the idea has appeal as we find out as dragon’s come from all over the continent to participate in the Dragon Market in Grabon’s…

Someone recently asked me if any of my characters surprise me. I thought it was an interesting question as they always do. If I attempt to direct them instead on let them play out, I end up with stilted choppy writing that no one wants to read. However if the question was which character surprises…

Zack is a human teenager, who due to circumstances you have to read for yourself in book 4, Healing, ends up a permanent resident in Grabon’s Nest. He is young, but not helpless,  coming into his own abilities and learning to manage his overwhelming power. In time, he adjusts and becomes a powerful figure in…

Heron is in the unique position of having the greatest understanding of Dragon culture, beliefs, and wisdom. After spending so much time with Grabon, has it altered him in a fundamental way? How much are we influenced by our companions? The same question can be asked of Grabon, especially as he was younger and perhaps…

The notion of romantic love is not dead in the NewEarth Series, it is just transformed by conditions.

In book 4 Healing, Tria is introduced, first as a visitor and then sort of invited into Grabon’s nest. She is a youth, a young dragon, between being a youngster and not yet sexually mature. She has little experience, is still figuring things out and she wanders into Grabon’s territory drawn in by the excitement…

Obviously the government structure of NewEarth based on the dragon’s system is different from what we have seen on oldearth but historically it resembles the fiefdom or feudal systems of old. That being said, Grabon is a king, answerable to a council of older more experienced kings that are guided by the planet. More on…

Being granted custody of their youngsters was a dream. When Grabon made that happen, Brom and Griss were faced with certain decisions about how to raise their youngsters and you see evidence of those shifting decisions all the time. At first, they were going to be traditional dragons in Grabon’s territory, but of course that…
