A man hung suspended in a whirlwind of magic above me. No … not just a man. A dragon. I crouched on the back edge of a six-foot-wide, three-foot-high white platform set above the elven tech I had been tasked to repair, fiddling with a gemstone I’d previously removed. Pretending to work while peering through […]

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 8.5: Who is Freddie?
“Who is Freddie?” Liam asked, folding his arms and glancing sternly between Jasmine and me. “A shadow leech.” “What the hell is a shadow leech?” “Freddie.” Liam swore under his breath. I stifled a smirk. –Mory, Graveyards, Visions, and Other Things that Byte (Dowser 8.5) COMING AUGUST 23, 2018 PREORDER NOW AMAZON – iBOOKS – […]
Misfits, Gemstones, and Other Scattered Magic (Dowser 8) released a week ago! Normally I’d share a some of the lovely early reviews, and I will soon, but I thought it might be more fun (for me) to share a (mostly) spoiler free excerpt of Graveyards, Visions, and Other Things That Byte (Dowser 8.5). And yes, […]
An elf stood at the door to my bakery. Well, actually, it was Bryn’s and my bakery, but still … an elf. In Whistler. I mean, I expected this sort of thing in Vancouver. But if you weren’t into outdoor sports involving snow, then Whistler was a pricey destination in the winter months. Plus, the […]

Dowser 8: the trick was …
Even beyond elves running amok, the tenor of Vancouver was changing. And it always got worse before it got better, didn’t it? The trick was getting through the worst of it without losing anyone in the process. Or murdering anyone, I supposed. And I had yet to pull off that feat. – Dowser 8, Chapter […]
I finally got Dowser 8 off to the editor (aka SFG aka Scott Fitzgerald Gray) for story editing this morning. Though I nearly lost my mind trying to output the manuscript from Scrivener (the software I use to write) into a WORD document because the compile function had been updated/upgraded. Anyway, an hour and half […]
Below is the excerpt I promised yesterday. I just added another 2100 words to Mory’s story (which opens Dowser 8.5) bringing it to 12k with at least six more scenes left. So it will definitely be a novella once it’s finished, not even including the addition of Rochelle and Jasmine’s stories. Fun! Now I’m going […]
Okay, this tiny snippet made me laugh out loud yesterday. I thought you might find it fun as well. Feeling the teenagers behind me becoming restless, I wrapped my hand around the hilt of my knife. Someone was going to have to teach Peggy and Maia to be patient hunters. Unfortunately, I was concerned that […]
