[A explanatory note from MCD]: I’m trying to step back from social media (etc) for the next two to three months so I can focus on writing, specifically writing Endings and Empathy (Amplifier 6), which will be my next release. I’ve put together a bit of a ‘cheat sheet’ – if a cheat sheet involved a bunch of links – so if anyone seeking a quick answer pops over here, hopefully, they can find it below and not wait on a direct answer from me, which might be delayed in coming.

UPCOMING THINGS OF INTEREST
(more info to follow when it comes available)
A Tenth Anniversary Kickstarter for Dowser 1! The campaign will go live in the second week of January 2023 for a limited edition hardcover, paperback, and eBook, plus a brand new Dowser Series short featuring Jade, Kandy, and Kett. The actual anniversary is at the end of June 2023 but it will likely take longer for the hardcovers to be printed, etc. Lots of stretch goals, including all new Dowser series audiobooks. (yes! Finally!)
Also! The entire Dowser series is being rebranded to help celebrate the Tenth Anniversary. Those new covers will be available in June 2023 as well
Spill the Tea 2023: join Hailey Edwards and Meghan Ciana Doidge for afternoon tea in Vancouver BC, Canada on Saturday, May 27, 2023! FUN! FUN! Tickets now available! Click here for more info.

F.A.Q
(autumn 2022 edition)
Are there going to be any more Dowser Series books? The Dowser series is the entry point to the Adept Universe, which now contains over 40+ stories. I encourage you to read beyond Jade’s books, you might find other stories you like just as much. The Dowser series itself is comprised of three trilogies, ending with book 9. I have no plans to write a fourth trilogy, but there is a short/novelette/novella coming to help celebrate the Tenth Anniversary of the release of Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (see above). The anniversary is in June 2023 and the Kickstarter will be in January 2023.
Do you have any burning questions? Post them below and I’ll add them to the FAQ because I honestly can’t think of anything else I need to answer!
WHERE ELSE TO FIND/CONTACT MCD
This is amazing! Can not wait for all the new stuff.
I’d LOVE to see a book with Drake and his story (like Mory’s), you know, if you’re ever looking for a new main character…and you finish ALL the new stuff you have going on haha!
Thanks for this! I am very excited for the Kickstarter, I think it should be great. Here’s hoping that your headaches ease enough for you.
Thanks for the updates! I really like the picture with the novels on it. Good luck with the writing.
When was Sisu born? (Also Aiden and Kellan, maybe?)
I was trying to slot some pieces together after reading Amplifier 5, Instincts and Imposters, and recalled a blog post with the timeline from the person who maintains your Adapt Universe bible.
**NOTE before anyone blows up MCD’s inbox. The blog search box can be found on the right side of this or any blog page. It’s below the cookbook and blog subscription sign-up, above Awakening Infinity.
Thank you.
