Discussions on NewEarth

I wanted a way for my readers to easily discuss NewEarth, and perhaps gain some insight that others who don't read my blog may not gain. The Blog posts below may contain information not contained in the books, or address questions from my readers.

Political? Humanity?

Someone recently asked me if my stories were a political commentary on the current US mess. I laughed because I originally wrote them before the current mess developed. So no, it is not directed at 2019 specifically. Rather my stories are a commentary on my understanding of humans, our interactions with one another, and as…

Working

As I am sure I have mentioned, I was able to get a really cool day job, promoting the idea of solar systems… not the kind that rotates around a sun, but panels that sit on a roof and produce power. You have undoubtedly heard about the push for alternative clean energy. It is fun…

Toes and Tails

I mentioned in other posts that dragons are sensitive about their tails, fingers, and toes; much like human males are sensitive about their balls, females protect their breasts, and both human sexes defend their faces. I might have neglected to mention that dragons are also sensitive about their wings, although not in the same way.…

Dragon Sensibilities

If you have been following the series, you realize that while my mammalian dragons think modesty is ridiculous, since everyone is naked under their clothes, they have other sensibilities different than humans. Dragons often conceal their bonds, certain talents, or even skills. They hide friendships and and in some cases the location of where they…

Narrators and Readers

One of my future goals is to get a voice actor to read the books and record them so they can be sold through Amazon Audible. And as we begin figuring out how to choose a voice actor, a number of questions arise. Should it be a male or female? Accented speech or none? Fast…

Lasting Relationships

My stories are based on establishing long lasting relationships, an in real life I have plenty of examples to draw on. Both my grandparents had milestones marriages lasting fifty years or more and my parents just celebrated their 57th year together. Dragons live longer than humans, so their relationships that last a lifetime can span…

Dragon Life

What part of dragon life do you find most curious? Could it be how they learn their skills? Is it the maternity nest where a pregnant or new mother dragon spends long hours alone with her mate and youngster with only approved visitors? Or I s it the acceptance of deception as a skill that…

😢Delays…Delays😢

I just heard back from Jo, my editor, and she claims she has started reworking the manuscript, but has nothing ready to send me. At this point we are still on hold for the month of July. To clarify- I did make a few additional changes and I reworked a scene or two… maybe a…

Dotty and Tad

The Heartsinger, which is currently free to download from Amazon, at least until June 30th; features the beginning of the market. It is a story packed full of plans for the future, hope for a brighter tomorrow, sorrow, loss, grief, betrayal, and courage. Oh did I mention there are baby dragons? Red and Star are…

Opposable Thumbs

The anatomy for my mammalian, sentient beings that are called dragons is very different from the classic understanding of such creatures. Oh yes, my dragons have a long neck and wings, however the wings are more bat like than those of a bird. They have arms with hands with two opposable thumbs and three fingers;…

Environment for NewEarth

If you look at Athena’s wonderful art and wonder about the wagons and giant animals pulling them, let me explain about the human commitment to a clean healthy environment. When the colonists left OldEarth behind, it was with a deep breath of free clean air. Portable water was costly, radiation winds frequently damaged and killed…

The Heartsinger

As we get ready to format The Hunter:NewEarth 7 I thought it would be a good idea to offer one of the earlier stories of the series for free for a limited time. As I hemmed and hawed over the different novels, my thinking went something like this. “I could offer Gordon’s Pride… it is…
