Discussions on NewEarth

Have you ever met someone who will argue over the color of your new shirt? How about someone who will debate how many minutes late you were? Oppositional people will argue anything, for any reason. The only way to stop them is to agree, a method called “dropping the rope.” It is hard to have…

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.

Some of my best discussions with family and friends have happened while washing dishes. You wash, I’ll…

The members of a territory clan, people bonded with the territory dragon, are the dragon’s clan members. Being a clan dragon is an honor and a privilege, but it also comes with a an obligation to agree and support the territory dragon.

Trissy’s family was essentially wiped out by an illness that went through their Woodsman group killing all but 4 people, the two male cousins, Trissy and Jenny. Jenny age 2, was still weak and sick and the cousins tried to convince Trissy to leave her behind. They were convinced she was going to die anyway,…

In the green sky world of NewEarth there are some fun beasts and birds that Athena my artist did a fantastic job of depicting. There is the puton, a large cat like creature, that is a top of the food-chain hunter. The fanger is like a wild boar, only bigger, and it eats everything and…
