I was making a quick addition to the Adept Universe Cookbook today – apparently, I forgot to mention WHEN to add the chocolate chips in the peanut butter and chocolate chip cookie recipe (thank you to Bronwyn’s hubby for letting me know) – and I stumbled upon this excerpt from Dowser 5 that made me smile.
I do adore Drake.
“Tell me the tale of this cupcake,” Drake demanded as he dramatically held a newer creation of mine aloft.
I glanced up from the last handwritten page of the journal. “That’s a Vixen in a Cup. Chocolate gingerbread cake with a salted caramel icing.”
“Vixen in a Cup,” Drake whispered as he carefully peeled the paper off the cupcake. Earlier this year, I’d tried to do away with cupcake holders by using silicone cups to bake. But they were fiddly — the moist, delicate cake broke more often than not — and my customers had rebelled at the breaking of tradition. At least the paper cups I used were compostable.
The final line of the journal read: Shailaja has broken with the guardians. She has broken with me.
“Who is Shay-la-ja?” I asked Drake, attempting to sound out the foreign name.
The fledgling, who’d stuffed the entire cupcake in his mouth, could only shrug in response.
“Way to savor.”

Hi Meghan
I have a question. Are you done writing the Amplifier? I really liked that story line. Was wondering if you would have her mix with Mory or the coven in Seattle?
The Amplifier series is ongoing. 😊 There will continue to be minor crossover but nothing major for at least two more books.
Drake😂❤️. I appreciate your sharing. I think I will start the series all over again. For the third time. 😉 Hope you are having a great day!
I get a premonition of some rallying of all to take down the Colective. Emma will be totally blown away when or if she get to Vancouver
😊😊😊 You never know! 😊
Drake eating cupcakes always makes me smile – and hungry for cupcakes! 🧁
I just am fascinated by your created world. When I preordered Mory’s book, I re-read 8.5 and 9 to lead me in again. And like many others I intend to start all over again after the next Amplifier. Thank you, as an older sci-fi reader, I was delighted to find a new genre to entirely captivate me.
I’m so so glad you’ve been enjoying my version of urban fantasy. 😊😊😊
I am so excited there’s an update to the cookbook! I haven’t gotten the updated version in a while and need a new round of cupcakes to make. I have a Matcha Green Tea Cupcake with a white chocolate ganache and was internally hoping that you (and Jade) would approve. I hope you are doing well during Covid and I am LOVING Mory’s book!
Yes. I update it fairly often. 😊 Glad you are enjoying Misfits 1!
How to torture me, my god those cupcakes look good. And a drake quote. Sublime.
Since I was already torturing myself I just wanted to spread the love. 😂
