Territory Market
The idea of a combined species market is born in book 3, organized by Tad, Hess, Pit and Thane. It is embraced and approved by Grabon at the same time it is rejected by the settlement. That was when they decided to build their own market grounds instead of joining the settlement market with their…
Read MoreHealing is Out!
New characters come into the story. There are lots of people coming in to Grabon’s Territory by book 4. They come for the market, to buy, to trade, to see what humans really look like, to see dragons up close. It is an opportunity, a curiosity and it is controlled by that powerful territory dragon…

Read MoreCharacter map

Read MoreMia the Story Teller
A storyteller among the dragons is an important craft. Not only do they remember ancient and modern stories that tell lessons and histories, they define the roles for dragon society and impart all common knowledge. In some ways storytellers are teachers, preachers, and newscarriers. It is a job of enormous importance in a clan.
Read MoreDragon Markings
As you may have noticed in either the pics or descriptions in the books, my dragons have interesting markings on their bodies as well as on their faces. Those are not tattoos but are natural. The story from the history of dragons is that in the beginning when the planet first adopted the dragons as…
Read MoreRomping among Dragons
The dragons have a very pragmatic view of sex outside of a mating bond. They don’t place a lot of importance on it aside from it being a biological need that should be fulfilled. Males and females issue an invitation if they are interested and it is either accepted or rejected. It only becomes important…

Who is that falling into the nest? That tends to be the most frequently asked question from readers. Her name is LeeAnn. Against all odds she manages to survive, but obviously things do not go smoothly. Have you ever tried to convince someone that someone or something has value and they stubbornly refuse to see…
Read MoreDishes and Food Prep
In many books that I have read, food, beautifully prepared mysteriously appears. Laundry is magically achieved or never even thought of and dishes, if not used as foreplay, are something a good fairy manages while the characters are sleeping. However, domestic heroes deserve credit. It takes real work and skill to plan and prepare three…
Read MoreCharacter Chart
This may be helpful. You can find it on the website under NewEarth: reader’s resources. There are characters on here through book 4. We will update for book 5.
Read MoreRok
Rok is an interesting character. Aside from him being a dragon, one of Grabon’s rough and tumble friends, he was also the dragon sent to negotiate on Grabon’s behalf. He seems to know more about formal protocol than the rest and he invents things. In Healing, book 4, you see another side of him, you…
