Dragon Hands
NewEarth has very little technology as we think of it but there are a number of tools, some familiar to humans others more familiar to dragons. The key differences between their two tool types have more to do with culture and the shape of their hands. Dragons have two thumbs on each hand. That makes…
Read MoreAwandering
Why would dragons kick their new youths out of the nest to find out for themselves how big the world is? What is the importance of that journey to adulthood? Why is self reliance so important and self discovery essential to a dragon’s development? Among humans, do our youth need to establish independence? They do…

During Healing book 4, a young man is discovered throwing rocks with power backing his muscle, he hit a sheep, one of the Taylor’s sheep, narrowly missing Kimmi. That young man, Zack, becomes a very important character for the rest of the series. Now I don’t want to give too much away, but as…
Read MoreGordon’s Barns
I don’t know how familiar you are with barns of different sizes and shapes here on OldEarth, but while they are solid in structure, they lack for a certain type of closure, especially after a few decades of use. In fact on a bright day if you go inside and close the doors, lots of…
Read MoreCooperation
Cooperation is a huge concept. It means more than compliance, more than agreemement, it means to actively help further a cause, to help a group push something forward with a single goal or agenda.

Read MoreMessages and Meaning
Obviously as I write the story I include many subtle messages to the reader, hints of what is to come, details that set the mood, a few image words to get the reader to fill in the blanks and so forth. However, it is impossible to guess what the reader finds. I love reading books…
Read MoreGenre
A good friend and loyal reader suggested the genre for the NewEarth Series is the same as Utopia by Sir Thomas Moore who died in 1535. Utopian Literature, shared by many of the science fiction classics, either highlight a dystopian world or a utopian one thereby pointing out the differences with our own. True, although…
Read MoreThemes
I am inviting readers to identify themes for my books, or vote for one you think is the strongest by leaving a comment, but aside from themes, think genre… For those who are unclear of the English speak terms – a theme is a lesson or overriding point or message. The genre is what types…
