So this was waiting in my inbox for me this morning. How freaking cool is that? Here is part of the scene from Shadows, Maps, and Other Ancient Magic (Dowser 4). The single-storey buildings and homes of Hope Town were all painted in bright colors, dominated by seashell pink. Kandy cut up between buildings toward the […]

2015 Knitting FOs (Finished Objects)
Non-knitters will find this post terribly boring. Sorry. 🙂 But I wanted to share the knitting projects I finished in 2015. Well, at least everything I remembered to snap a picture of. It was a slower year for knitting – but two and half baby blankets will do that – and as you can see I was […]
I’ve been off in Vancouver being far too indulgent for the last couple of days. I also got to meet a sweet six-day-old boy, who I’m hoping will call me Aunty Megs one day (though technically we are ‘friend’ related, not blood). I showered him with knitted goods and held him for a micro second […]
Yes, that moment. The breath that can turn into hours or days or weeks if  I’m not careful. The pause before I seriously lay my pen to the page or my fingers to the keyboard.

Dowser 1 on the Peruse Project vlog
Booktuber Regan of the Peruse Project mentioned Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1) in her Christmas Book Haul 2015. I hope she enjoys it! Thanks for the plug, Regan.
On August 20, 2015 my friend Gertie emailed me a blog post about the Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe. The post actually included links for FIVE different chocolate chip cookie recipes, and Gertie was planning to test bake all five. I wished her good luck on the massive undertaking, saying that I’d tried the NYTimes recipe. And, […]
I received two quick updates from Tantor Media about the Dowser Series audiobooks last week. in the form of an email from narrator Caitlin Davies: Elaine, who is one of Tantor’s graphic designers, sent the audiobook cover for my approval. I’m so pleased the publisher opted to use Elizabeth Mackey’s covers as the basis for their […]
UPDATED OCTOBER 2019: I use a Milk Cafe (affiliate link) instead of a pot and stirring myself (this is not a recommendation. I’ve had to replace mine twice, but it still makes a great hot chocolate). My current chocolate mixture is 30g of Manjari, 10g of Tanzanie (Cacao Barry), and 10g of Saint Dominque. ORIGINAL POST […]
