Yes, right now this post is at the top, because the Nuala books are out as e-books. We are post-dated to try and keep this up at the top of the blog.

This is the place to discuss all things about Nuala -- pull up a chair. I'll check in from time to time.

Yes! We can talk about Alfreda, too. But there currently is no e-book for Alfreda scheduled. I'm trying to sell the back list with a new book. So, no Alfreda icon.

What is the rest of Nuala like? You made a brief mention of another continent in the last book - and some mention of a possible project to grow Kona there.
Not that I don't want to see lots and lots more of Sheels story. The Cederlan also are such a fascinating element.

Snapshots from Nuala --

My mind doesn't tell me things it doesn't need me to know yet. That is worse (or better -- it keeps me from worrying about losing important plot points) since I got ill. So I can tell you that Nuala is in the approximate location of Earth in its revolution around Kee, its star. There are several other planets in the system that are capable of sustaining life, with a little terraforming.

It's a young world, constantly churning things up with volcanoes, earthquakes, and what not. I can tell you that coffee and tea both grow best at higher elevations in warm, moist climates. Which is why they grow in a certain belt around the planet. The Nualans do not waste time trying to grow things where they won't grow, although they are as tempted as we are by "almost" -- we don't have to take the food from farther away if we can get it to grow HERE.

The characters in HIDDEN talking about growing tea do go to the southern continent (immediate one due south -- there is more than one continent in the southern hemisphere.) It is a lush sort of place, lots of animals filling the various niches. I think part of a subplot takes place down there, but right now, that part of the story hasn't given me anything to add notes about! I'm getting to know someone new who I think will be POV.

If I write the thing. Right now, Allie and I have an appointment today!
