Christmas paperback giveaway – 1 of 4

CLOSED – WINNER: TBA As I already mentioned on my Facebook page, Michael was digging through some boxes for wrapping paper and Christmas cards this afternoon and he uncovered four of my paperbacks that I hadn’t bothered unpacking when we moved. I think I’d forgotten they existed at all, actually. Lost paperbacks seem like a perfect reason to […]

Someone had to come up with a better name for that, other than […]

It couldn’t have timed out more perfectly, because today I’m digging back into Dowser 4. Oracle 1 update – I See Me is with Leiah, the […]

reblogged: A Difficult Funeral, aka a scene from Dowser 1.5

I noticed that a few visitors to my blog found this piece of flash fiction from Sept 20, 2013 today. I’d practically forgotten all about it. I think I’d intended on writing more shorts, but then just focused on the novels. I thought you might get a kick out of it, so I’m reblogging. ———————– This […]

The day I turned nineteen, I expected to gain what little freedom I could within the restrictions of my bank account and the hallucinations that had haunted me for the last six years. I expected to drive away from a life that had been dictated by the tragedy of others and shaped by the care […]

Kelly’s box of chocolate

I have been exceedingly blessed in the last few years by lovely readers who have become supportive friends, some of whom I haven’t even met in person yet. I’ve talked about Gertie and her cupcake support committee here, here, and here (one for each Dowser book). I also still have Karen’s trinket hanging on my monitor where I […]

Read-a-long with the author: Cupcakes (Etc) – Chapter Four

Okay! My thoughts on chapter three of  Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic. I tweeted my fav quotes as I came upon them, but I’ll share a digest below as well. WARNING: I assume there may be spoilers in the comments – because this is hopefully going to be a discussion – but I’ll try to keep […]
