This seriously pretty proof for Shadows, Maps, and Other Ancient Magic (Dowser 4) showed up last Thursday, but I thought I would wait until it was available for purchase before mentioning it.

Welcoming 2015 …
I’m celebrating the advent of 2015 by opening a fresh notebook, and filling a new fountain pen with brand new ink. It’s time to get Dowser 5 out of my head. Here’s to 2015!
Guess what arrived in today’s mail? The paperback proofs for Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1), Trinkets, Treasures, and Other Bloody Magic (Dowser 2), and Treasures, Demons, and Other Black Magic (Dowser 3). I absolutely adore these three grouped together! As I did for I See Me (Oracle 1), I chose a matte finish […]

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 […]
I’m about to send The Oracle #1 off to the editor – yay – and dig back into writing Dowser #4. Yes, I have titles for both of those books and I will release them soon as well. During the next couple of weeks as I write Dowser #4 I’m going to be doing some fun […]
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’ve fallen down on the Writer Wednesday and Fiction Friday posts due to a crazy cold. Gah! And YES, there is a double paperback giveaway coming – SOON!! I just have to crawl to the post office and get my hands on the pretty books waiting for me there … Back to regularly scheduled writing […]
