One of the best parts of creating a world is deciding what type of creatures to put in it. If you get a chance stop by the glossary and see some of the artwork associated with the names of my animals.

Some of the tension in the books include circumstances vs characters, some are characters against self and in other instances it is the will of the planet vs the will of the character. I also have character against character tensions, but those tend to be short lived and more easily resolved. Which type of conflict…

What do you think of these two characters? Are they bad influences, good influences? Should Kimmi keep her sons away from them? Should they be given another shot at respectability?

At the beginning of Gordon’s Pride when Gordon lashes out at Hanna with his power for going through his house and gasp, cleaning;” he is shocked when his power touches hers. The reason why is because his power line responds. He might have thought his grandfather told a good story, but that was a detail…

If a dragon lifespan is 200 years and they bond with a human in a companion bond, is the lifespan of the human altered? How about if that human companion finds their mate? These are questions that arise in Heron’s Bonds as the story progresses. In book 1 we find out that Heron is already…

Have you ever wondered what motivates a dragon to do something? You’ll find out in Heron’s Bonds when Grabon’s friends come to visit. Can you imagine Gordon’s reaction to five visiting dragons so close to his farm? It does make for an interesting story.

When I first got the idea to write about dragons, I knew I didn’t want some snake like, fire breathing monsterish dragon, so I needed to do something with that. I had already developed the character of Hanna and I wanted him (dragon) to be her friend. Yep that wan an interesting process until I…

One of the challenges in writing this series is figuring out all the ways an individual can connect to the planet and what talents should result. If people have future ideas of things I should try for future books, feel free to leave me a message. I am not promising to use them, but you…

When you create a world, it takes a lot of thinking time. Hearing from readers is a great thing. Tell me what you liked, what made you happy or angry or even made you cry. Don’t be afraid to leave comments, I promise not to judge.

On NewEarth with active smuggling, the Farmers are trying to keep a herd of OldEarth cows alive for milk production, cheese and butter. Not only are those cows prone to illnesses on the new planet, but they are also difficult to keep away from other predators. Humans try to steal them, Putons want to eat…
