Written yesterday and offered here completely out of context (and yes, there is CONTEXT for this quote/scene). 😂 55, 246 words (so far) and counting … Are you new to the Conduit Series? The first book is Awry, then follow the reading order in the front of each book!

#ReadingByMCD; 2026 edition
I’m going to try to bring back my Sunday ‘What are you reading?’ posts for 2026. I can’t commit to every week but I hope I do better than I have been doing (it’s always my fav post of the week). I’ll post a shorter version to my socials and (again hopefully) a weekly retrospective […]
Permission to be kind to yourself.
I’ve had a couple of really bad pain days this week and have already taken a triptan this morning because I can feel the start of another. I have – as always – no idea what has caused this headache spike. But, after having a mini meltdown at the end of the day on Tuesday, […]
All the bookplate bundles!
I’ve made some bookplate bundles ($8 CDN + letter mail shipping) available in my store for a limited time (read: I will attempt to get them all mailed before Dec 1 so they can arrive before Xmas).

Look at me actually getting this scheduled the day ahead! Still no preorder up yet (I’m waiting on the new book covers, and the ediiting schedule, etc) If you missed it, here is: Snag (Conduit 2), Chapter 1, Part 1 and Chapter 1, Part 2 This excerpt is from the second draft, unedited, unproofed, of Snag […]
Okay! I feel like holing up for the rest of the week (and as much of next week as I can manage) and just writing, writing, writing, so here is the promised excerpt slightly early today. If you missed it, here is: Snag (Conduit 2), Chapter 1, Part 1 This excerpt is from the second […]
First, let’s all pretend I know what day of the week it is and I didn’t miss posting this excerpt yesterday. All right? 😂 Second, every excerpt I post from here onward is rife with spoilers. All of the Conduit books pick up from where the last one ended. Like … without more than a […]
I’ve done a terrible thing. Or perhaps just stupid? I took my measurements to help (?) me with my movement goal. I’ve always loathed stepping on a scale, but with how my brain works – the constant need to achieve, achieve, achieve (aka work, work, work to the detriment of my health) – I think […]
Just a little teaser that snagged my attention while writing today. As always, these are the first words on the page and subject to a lot of tweaking over the next four drafts. Content of note: mildly explicit language Because I need the conversation to move much, much quicker, I offer a truth of my […]
Just a little teaser that amused me while writing it today – with a few redacted lines because, you know, spoilers! As always, these are the first words on the page and subject to a lot of tweaking over the next four drafts. Content of note: mildly explicit language Rought’s phone vibrates with an incoming […]
