Made by MeghanSo I wrote up a blog post some time ago about writing lead characters who can’t actually kick ass but who must still resolve the main conflict in order for the story to function properly, but I never finished it. I figured that yammering on about my writing process was a rather boring blog post. […]
I keep all my paperback proofs – flaws and all – lined up in the upper left corner of my sitting desk. I just added Dowser 5 to the group, making it now almost eight inches of self-generated inspiration. I adore these books, even the misprinted spines of After the Virus and Spirit Binder. Perhaps […]
Anjanette asked me today if there was a place to have a private discussion of Dowser 5, and I thought we could try a live chat on my Facebook page. With a massive spoiler alert headline, of course. I’d host for an hour, and answer any questions I can. I won’t discuss any unreleased books […]
So this beauty just showed up in my mailbox for proofing. I love ebooks, and I rarely buy paperbacks myself. Though I do have a few author-signed books that I’ve collected lately. But there is just something about seeing your words in print. 😀 I immediately approved the proof, so it’s on sale at Createspace now and […]

I’ve had a few requests to post a list of the cupcakes eaten or mentioned in the Dowser books with each new release. So, I thought I would dash off this blog post just in case anyone wanted to bake before – or while – they’re reading Dowser 5 (release date: July 23, 2015). New Creations (recipes to […]
Here is Charm in a Cup from Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1) and  Maps, Artifacts, and Other Arcane Magic (Dowser 5). This is a super dense, but moist, sponge cake. The cake is also the base for Sunshine in a Cup and Joy in a Cup. The frosting is also the icing for […]
