Dowser 9: Blitzen in a Cup
Blitzen in a Cup is one of my most requested cupcake recipes, but when I first tried to make them – easily five or six years ago – Michael didn’t think they tasted like coffee or eggnog, just chocolate and butter, so I shelved the recipe. Move forward to the upcoming release of Gemstones, Elves, […]
So, looking back on my more recent blog posts, I just realized that I never blogged about the release of I See Me (Oracle 1) in audiobook format. And now I See You (Oracle 2) is also available. That is terribly pathetic ‘marketing’ on my part. Geez. So! Book 1 and Book 2, narrated by the epically […]

Dowser 9: compelled me
I asked my beta readers to share favourite quotes (if they came upon any) from their read of Gemstones, Elves, and Other Insidious Magic (Dowser 9). This was one of Theresa’s from Chapter One. Dowser 9 releases on December 4, 2018. The preorder is now available. Make sure you’re signed up for the New Release […]
Mory jogged back into the room, sliding through the doorway and past Rochelle on the hardwood floor in her hand-knit striped socks. “I almost forgot,” she cried, thrusting her hand toward me. She was holding a chocolate bar. A dark-chocolate bar with pistachios and dried cranberries, to be exact. From the ever-delectable, soul-fueling Chocolate Arts, […]
A cluster of sorcerers had fortified the doors to the stairwell, and likely the entire staircase leading down to the fourth level. Evidentially I hadn’t fooled anyone as to my objective. A murder of sorcerers. Not a cluster. Bee’s presence brushed through my mind. She laughed, quietly deadly. “Helpful,” I muttered, risking a glance down the […]

Dowser 9 swag boxes
Update: I’m now running a wait list for the swag boxes. Email me the info I requested below to be added to the list. First come, first served, if I have any extra boxes. Since I didn’t manage to make it to any signings or conferences in 2018, I floated an idea about a week […]
[Deleted long blog post. Then distilled it down to the important beats]. It is with joy in my heart but tears in my eyes that I share the cover for Gemstones, Elves, and Other Insidious Magic (Dowser 9). And yes, it is the last book – for the foreseeable future – in the Dowser Series. And the […]
Writing the first draft of a book often feels like having a tug-a-war with your own brain, just to force words to appear on the page. Factor in coaxing and cajoling the muse to stick with you through the first 60k or 70k or 80k, and it is as if you’re at war with certain […]

Brainstorming book titles
It’s Thanksgiving Monday. Michael is stripping the turkey so we can make stock. And, while I have his captive attention, I’m brainstorming book titles for the Amplifier Series* – I’m exceeding lucky to be married to a songwriter who excels in condensing complex ideas down into evocative but short phrases. We’ve been having trouble with […]
