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.

Winter Storms

One of the many features of the NewEarth world aside from the green sky, two suns, two moons and much longer days is the quick turn of weather. Although to be honest here on old earth we’ve recently seen some quickly developing storms that do some terrible damage to life and property. Violent storms can…

Vehicles

One of the fun quirks about my stories is moving characters without technology. Now when it comes to off world ears, that is a whole other can of worms, but for the residence of NewEarth, especially the humans, transportation needed to be natural if not technological. So bentars, those large birds for light loads, and…

Weak Woman Hanna

The downtrodden woman image can be twisted to fit any story where domestic females are happy in their role. However, Hanna featured first in Gordon’s Pride is traumatized, abused, and domestic by nature. She is not a dominant loud character. Instead she is quiet, enormously talented in many domestic arts, and because of her past…

Happy New Year!

Writing utopian fantasy not only involves building a world people would love to visit, it takes plenty of villains and heroes to move the story along. While there is an abundance of attention spent on Gordon, Grabon, and Heron, it is too easy to overlook the villains in my stories. As a matter of fact,…

Person Games

We all know about “he said, she said” games, and the all time favorite, ” I never heard that, “ game. The truth is, humans are nasty to one another, and as it turns out dragons can be just as bad. In Brom and Mox’s story, The Hunter, Book 7, of the NewEarth series, we…

Conflict

As anyone who has played in my fictional world on NewEarth can attest, avoiding a species conflict is one of the major goals of the Combined Territories, however they are a clan of fighters and they deter with strength. Watching real world conflicts along with real world destruction has left me feeling sad and hollow.…

Healing

As I deal with our crazy world and all the things that make me want to rip out my hair, I was plotting stories in my world of NewEarth as a comforting escape. Since I am teaching again, I realized I don’t have time to sit and rough draft, so instead, I started reading The…

That First Encounter

They say first impressions are important, and I am sure the dragons share that particular belief. Imagine that poor dragon, a new territory holder with a small clan of her own, going out to introduce herself to the new arrivals. She landed outside the chaotic mess of their containers, roughly imagining the edge of a…

The Trip

Have you ever taken a long road trip and wanted to kill your fellow passengers, slowly? Imagine a month or more in a ship racing through space, a cargo ship, with a few modifications for passengers. There were 120 original pioneers that headed out to colonize what they would later call NewEarth. Only 117 survived…

New Job Jitters

One of the best parts of starting something new is the absolute confusion. The need to learn a thousand new things all at once and knowing it is impossible. So you have a small window with permission to ask away, make mistakes and shrug when it comes to light. after all you are new. Not…

New Beginnings

As I started a new job today, it made me think of how newcomers must feel as they arrive in a territory in my NewEarth series. Imagine how the new arrivals felt as those brave volunteers boarded a ship to be dropped off on a new planet. Their hearts must have been drumming in their…

The Adventure Continues

I choose to find the good. It sounds simple and clean, but of course it isn’t. I write fairytales, not because I can’t see the bad, or because I think I am magically protected from it, but because bad is there. People need hope, they need to see the good. Once you start looking for…
