The garden that comes with the house we’re renting on Salt Spring Island is easily five times bigger than the York Avenue urban garden in Vancouver where we planted for the last six years. We haven’t had the time to revitalize and plant all of the new garden, which appeared to have been neglected for at least […]
CONTEST CLOSED! Winner: CORI from NEW YORK, USA. Lucky #4 I still have a few of those misprinted paperbacks hanging around in a box in my office. It’s a handy box, because it raises my laptop up when I’m working from the treadmill desk, but it isn’t very pretty. I should replace it with something […]
I’m planning on posting a contest tomorrow to win a signed, misprinted set of Dowser 1-4 and Oracle 1 paperbacks. The entry will be a picture of any of the cupcakes that appear in any of the Dowser books, baked either from the recipes here on the blog or one you’ve figured out on your own. And yes, […]
I put together playlists for each book/story I write, then usually listen to it obsessively while I’m brainstorming and outlining, or even when I feel I need a kick start while writing.

If I entertain it, this feeling can easily lead to fretting over the time it takes me to […]
*SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS*  CHAPTER FOURTEEN – important beats: BELIEVING (and colour). “I believed everything laid out before me in black and white. No color anywhere on the page. No color to confuse or beguile my senses. No color to soften the message, or soothe the pain.” CHOICES (right or wrong, choices must be […]
*SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* Last but certainly not least when it comes to the plot of Oracle 1. Here are my thoughts on the final chapter. Feel free to ask any questions or share any thoughts about I See Me (Oracle 1) here. Anyone reading this far shouldn’t accidentally happen upon any spoilers. […]
*SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* CHAPTER TWELVE – important beats: Beau’s abandonment issues: “Don’t leave me,” he whispered fiercely. The idea was utterly preposterous. I laughed.” The Dowser!! And Kandy 🙂 Getting to hear how the cupcakes taste from Rochelle’s POV. Love, love, loved it. The alchemist fixes Rochelle’s necklace. TENSION between Desmond and Jade. All […]
