I’ve been conducting an exceedingly scientific series of chocolate tastings for the next Dowser Series trilogy over on my Facebook page. However, I promised myself that I would blog more this year, so I will now be posting any tastings I do here – YAY FOR ME!! Yes, this is my version of research. To the tasting! I […]

This morning, despite the looming deadlines I’m attempting to tame with schedules and to-do lists, Michael and I took a moment to let the chicks wander out of the run and into the barren, fog enshrouded garden. And each time I started to say that I needed to go back to work I took a […]

Chocolate Orchid
I came up to the office today after two whole days off and found that my chocolate orchid [Oncidium Sharry Baby] had bloomed. And, yes, it smells like chocolate!! 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 […]

I snapped this picture as I was hustling home today after an early morning Pilates session. I forced myself to stop and take multiple shots. To slow down just for a breath and, well, breathe. To try to not think, think, think all the time. For those of you celebrating this weekend – Easter, Passover […]
I sent Dowser 3 off to the editor yesterday – YAY! I then immediately found myself writing the opening of Dowser 4, which is always cool, as I wasn’t a 100% sure what number 4 was going to be about (other than the broad strokes laid out in book 3). So, yes, I’m still working […]
I just went out to grab the mail and found this waiting for me: It’s a trinket from Karen – who also made this bookmark – made specifically for me!! So fun! So sparkly! Can you tell that Karen is a fan of Jade and the Dowser Series (& me, YAY!)? Clever, clever. How many references to […]
