How to subscribe to MCD’s blog
Just one last administrative post before The Amplifier Protocol (Amplifier 0) launches at 8:05am PST tomorrow! I’m so excited, but I’m trying to make sure I have everything set up and sorted.

A cluster of sorcerers had fortified the doors to the stairwell, and likely the entire staircase leading down to the fourth level. Evidentially I hadn’t fooled anyone as to my objective. A murder of sorcerers. Not a cluster. Bee’s presence brushed through my mind. She laughed, quietly deadly. “Helpful,” I muttered, risking a glance down the […]
[Deleted long blog post. Then distilled it down to the important beats]. It is with joy in my heart but tears in my eyes that I share the cover for Gemstones, Elves, and Other Insidious Magic (Dowser 9). And yes, it is the last book – for the foreseeable future – in the Dowser Series. And the […]
