Made by MeghanI write stories of good versus evil, epic demon-infested battles, and life threatening scenarios. My heroes are loyal and stalwart, willing to sacrifice anything and everything for duty and morality. You know, sword and sorcery saving the world with some chocolate and true love rolled into the mix. The battered and bloody hero always triumphs […]
Dowser 5 is about to head off to the editor, which means I get to seriously dig into Oracle 2 – yay! In order to really immerse myself in Rochelle’s voice, I’m going to (re)read I See Me, Oracle 1 first. I’ve already mentioned this to a few readers, but I thought it might be fun for […]
I was just sucking away on some deliciously smooth Boa Sentenca (Cacao Barry) while I cleared out my inbox when it occured to me that it might be a little early in the morning for chocolate, no matter how tasty. And yep, turns out it’s 8:56am as I type this blog post. Chocolate before 9am […]
GIVEAWAY CLOSED. WINNER JANINE from KANSAS! If you pay close enough attention to the acknowledgments at the back of my novels, or my rantings on Facebook and Twitter, you will recognize Scott Fitzgerald Gray‘s name. He is my editor. He has edited every single screenplay I deemed worthy of rewriting from the early-2000s through to […]
The Easter bunny (aka Michael) brought me this T-shirt this morning. I bought him a pile of white chocolate from Purdy’s, which is a huge gesture, because – as you know – I don’t eat white chocolate. Okay, okay! I might have slipped some peanut butter chocolate eggs and yolk eggs into my checkout cart […]
… but you’ll only need one. I just finished something. My right hand is aching so fiercely I can barely type this, and my fingers are covered in green ink. My brain feels like mush. I really need a heavy dose of chocolate and to bake something, stat. I’m also off-the-wall pleased with myself. Can […]
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 […]
This seriously pretty proof for Shadows, Maps, and Other Ancient Magic (Dowser 4) showed up last Thursday, but I thought I would wait until it was available for purchase before mentioning it. As with all the Dowser paperbacks, the cover and the page break knife image were designed by the lovely and talented Elizabeth Mackey. […]
There is too much story running around my head this morning … and last night all I could dream about was Jade and Warner and all the conversations they need to have or will have but there isn’t ever enough time for any or all of that because life is always happening … or the […]
Last December I decided to give my novel, Spirit Binder, which was originally published in June 2012, a freshening up. I had it reproofed, beta’d, and did some light editing myself. I’d received some consistent feedback that there were typos in the original (there were, damn it!) and that the opening chapter was a little difficult […]
