Recently I have been working in sales. As a writer, working in sales is amazing, you see and learn so much about humans and what drives them in all their moods. But seriously, the most mind bending thing I learned was not to try so hard. Any one who knows me, knows that I am…

One of the interesting facts about the humans in my stories: most have brown skin, some have brown hair, most are curly haired. Heron has silver hair brought on by grief, Trissy has two symmetrical silver streaks, also brought on by grief. While my dragons have a multitude of markings, horns, ridges, and features highlighted…

Someone recently asked me if I was worried abut what someone else might think about a decision I made. It made me stop and think, not because I was concerned about what they would think, but because it was an interesting point. Other people have always judged me, often harshly, usually with no understanding of…

Writing utopian novels for adults is interesting. When I tell people I write adult themed fairytales, the smirk they get let’s me know they are envisioning puff porn with some old themes or names.

There are a lot of unexpected things that happen in a life. In the lives of my characters things seldom turn out as they originally planned. Male or female, human or dragon, they are forced to think quickly and launch into alternative plans. As the creator of the characters, I can say that my life…

If you ask Grabon, being a territory dragon is simply a matter of having branches on your power line. That is definitely an over simplification since many clan members of the Combined Territories has branching power lines, yet none of them choose to take on the role of territory dragon. Grabon and Heron made a…

People set expectations of themselves and of others and when something happens and we fail to meet those expectations there is disappointment. Grabon certainly felt that way when he was expecting a strong mate that he could test his strength on and instead found a young frail mate in need of his protection. Grabon also…
