Made by MeghanI’m working through the final smoothing pass of Oracle 2 before I send it off to the proofreader. Reading out loud, I got through the first five chapters – four before lunch and one after – without major impediment. But, as I was about to tackle chapter six, I realized I desperately needed a treat. […]
I tossed a couple of handfuls of Tanzanie by Cacao Barry in the banana bread I made last Saturday for our anniversary. Then, with too many indulgences in Vancouver already, we didn’t eat any of it until yesterday morning. It’s insanely good. I’m not a fan of the Tanzanie on its own or as a hot chocolate. […]
I was totally planning to blog about these super tasty Fleur de Sel Caramels that I picked up at the Northwest Chocolate Festival from Jonboy Caramels. But then I ate them all.
Why yes, I am writing about Rochelle and Beau today. What gave me away? Happy Sunday!!
I’m currently writing the first draft of I See You (Oracle 2). Life has been crazy – we are moving. Yes, again – but I’m still managing to eke out about 2000 words every day. Writing – as opposed to brainstorming, which I live and breath – needs fuel and focus. Not enough fuel, and I […]
I love surprise gifts … you know, when it’s not your birthday or Christmas so it’s completely unexpected. Who doesn’t? I love giving them (in case you hadn’t noticed with all the giveaways I do – ha!) but I certainly don’t mind receiving them either. This sweet thank you note along with a tatted ring and […]
In Dowser 4 Jade takes Kandy out to dinner for her birthday. They go to Fable Kitchen and have s’mores for dessert. Well, last Saturday I was lucky enough to dine at the same restaurant and partake in the same insane chocolatey goodness. The only problem was that I had to share it with Michael. 😀
I’ve had a few requests to post a list of the chocolate eaten or mentioned in the Dowser books, so I thought I would dash off this blog post so if you wanted to get your hands on any of this chocolate before the release date for Dowser 5 (July 23, 2015) then you would […]
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. My musical taste is rather eclectic and I don’t like to influence a reader’s impression of a novel, so I don’t often share […]
We moved to Salt Spring Island last September on an adventure. As this adventure unfolded, I decided I would like chickens for the garden … why not dive in? And, yes, going to the Fall Fair might have had something to do with this sudden desire. So chicks aren’t particularly easy to source in the fall, […]
