Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1)
I’ve had a rough week. Something nasty escalated within a group I was highly invested in while I was happy working away on the second draft of Dowser 6. And when I discovered it, I was seriously blindsided. So much so that – I’m almost ashamed to admit – I spent a couple days in tears and NOT WRITING.
Of course, tears always lead to numbness then to anger for me. So now I’m peeved to have been sidetracked from a WIP that was giving me so much joy.
Thankfully my sweetheart, Michael, dug around in storage and found my Oracle tattoos! Some of you had been asking about how to get your hands on the butterflies, and you know nothing perks me up like a giveaway … so how about it?
Yes, I’m shamelessly asking you to make me feel better by completely distracting me, and doing a mini media blitz for the Oracle series at the same time. Completely shameless.
To enter: For the next 36 or so hours … so until Sunday at 8pm PST … do one or more of the following:
- drop a link to an HONEST review here in the comments – from Amazon or Goodreads or wherever you reviewed either book 1 or 2. Doesn’t matter what star rating you gave it. All reviews are appreciated. Then email me your mailing address at info [at]madebymeghan.ca [mention what name you commented under please].
- Or tweet a link to your HONEST review OR write up a mini tweet review, making sure to tag me @mcdoidge and #oracleseries. Then email me your mailing address at info [at]madebymeghan.ca [mentioning what name you tweet under please.]
- Or share your HONEST review on Facebook – either on your personal page or on my Facebook page. Tag me if you can (sometime this doesn’t work: Meghan Ciana Doidge) and add the hashtag #oracleseries. Then email me your mailing address at info [at]madebymeghan.ca [mention what name you posted under please].
- Blog your HONEST review and email me/tweet/Facebook the link so I see it and share it [this applies to older or newer blog posts]. Then email me your mailing address at info [at]madebymeghan.ca
- You decide. Do you Instagram? Pinterest? Would you prefer to share a meme or book cover or artwork or favourite quote along with your HONEST review or mini review? Share something Oracle related, tag me somehow, and include #oracleseries if appropriate. Then email me your mailing address at info [at]madebymeghan.ca and link me to whatever you shared. 🙂
Okay, I just typed that all up and I think I might be crazy … I’m definitely going to need some more stamps. LOL
What do you think? Want a postcard and some tattoos?
Notes/Rules: OPEN INTERNATIONALLY. Follow the entry requirements listed above and everyone is a winner. 😀 Reviews do not have to be new. If you reviewed either book months ago that counts, just share it and link me please.
If you haven’t commented on the blog before, or you comment from a different IP address, the comments are moderated. So don’t worry if you don’t see your entry right away.
Contest closes SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 2016 at 8 p.m. PST.

I stared at Warner, mouth agape. “You knocked on the door of the big bad of London because I was concerned?”
Warner shrugged. “It’s good to keep them a little shaken up.”
“How shaken?”
Warner grinned wickedly. “Well, he’s going to have to rebuild a tower that was probably seismically substandard anyway.”
“You … destroyed the big bad’s … castle?”
“Destroyed is such a harsh word.”

This box of goodies from Tantor Media was waiting in my mailbox this afternoon:
Yep! That is the Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1) audiobook on … wait for it … ACTUAL CD. SIX CDs to be exact. Weird, huh?
Michael is currently scrambling around trying to figure out what we own that can play CDs. He’s currently attempting to boot up an old laptop. But not being able to play them myself isn’t going to stop me from giving one away!
Do you want to win a set of Dowser 1 audiobook CDs? I’ll even pull out the front sleeve and autograph it for you if you like. 😀

Trinkets, Treasures, and Other Bloody Magic (Dowser 2)
Walking under mossy boughs, mud and tree roots tangle our feet along the edge of Duck Creek. Despite the roar of the run off, a breath of peace captivates our ever-teeming brains. Then it’s back to work …
