Discussions on NewEarth

A reader asked me how Hanna could receive the announcements made by the territory dragon (Grabon) and not be able to receive communication sent by telepath? Great question that I left unanswered until a later book. However there is a simple explanation that may help you understand without destroying future revelations. Territory dragons when they…

Jamie and Janie are sisters and characters that the reader comes to know slightly in book 1. But I promise they reveal more of themselves in future books and stories.

In Gordon’s Pride, Hanna is one of the main characters, the female lead, so to speak. She is in difficult circumstance, traumatized and has been living under unimaginable stress for a long time. The story tells of her coping strategies, her ability to survive and the rebuilding of her sense of self after the trauma…

Writing a story on another world means there are a number of terms that need to be defined. If you want descriptions, look for the glossary on the website. If you want more description go to ask Julia, I’ll be happy to help.

The NewEarth Series is all about human adoption by the planet. The humans have been on NewEarth for 200 years, they are now known by the planet and each has a connection that the planet feels she understands. That being said, the dragons have very little knowledge of the humans, the humans have even less knowledge…

Yes I know that my dragons are different. First they are mammals, with hair and give live birth. They are psychic, but their power comes from the planet. They do not breathe fire, they do not hoard gold. Some are intellectuals, others are not, but they all possess a keen intelligence. Remember that dragons live…

There are a number of references to the planet and the planet’s power in Gordon’s Pride but to clarify, yes the planet is alive, thinks, has power and interacts with her people. Traditionally her people were the dragons. The planet has power of her own, in fact has all the power, and shares it with the plants…
