Emma (aka Socks aka Amp5) from the Amplifier Series has a bit of a thing for ginger snaps and tea. The ginger snap obsession comes from her first Christmas party (see The Amplifier Protocol) and she has two go-to recipes: hand-rolled and sliced. I’ve also added the hand-rolled Chewy Ginger Snaps recipe to the Adept […]

Yes, Dowser series research is just so damn hard. Sigh. Akesson’s award-winning Madagascar Ambolikapiky Plantation, 75% Criollo Cocoa. If you follow that link it’s the second bar down on the page. This is a brand new bar for me. YAY! I purchased it during my New Year’s Eve rush through Xoxolat. Fearing they were going to close before […]
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 […]
Or, as Jade will undoubtedly refer to them in Dowser 5, ‘the holy trinity of chocolate bars,’ which will be terribly sacrilegious. However, we will probably excuse her because she’s had a really bad day. I know this because I’ve written the bad day part, but not the chocolate bar part. I teased my Facebook page […]
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 […]

Writer Suzie Ivy recently read and reviewed my novel, After The Virus – “Bad guys become good, worse guys stay bad and humanity fights for what’s right. What more could I ask for? Oh and then Doidge added zombies. Bottom line, I loved this book!” A brand new project of mine can be found over at Yesterday’s […]
A Book Vacation recently read After The Virus and ranked it 4 stars! Shana seems to be looking forward to a sequel, but she’ll have a bit of wait ahead of her as a prequel/sequel is not currently in the works (though there are always ideas… ha!) If you are a writer and not reading […]
Oops, this was supposed to go live yesterday!! ——– Instead of doing individual posts, I’ve decided to do a link round up every Wednesday (if I have collected enough links to warrant a round up!!) So, since I last posted about my novel, After The Virus, (buy and sample links found on the right hand […]
