Welcoming 2015 …

I’m celebrating the advent of 2015 by opening a fresh notebook, and filling a new fountain pen with brand new ink. It’s time to get Dowser 5 out of my head. Here’s to 2015!

Dowser Series – three paperback proofs

Guess what arrived in today’s mail? The paperback proofs for Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1), Trinkets, Treasures, and Other Bloody Magic (Dowser 2), and Treasures, Demons, and Other Black Magic (Dowser 3). I absolutely adore these three grouped together! As I did for I See Me (Oracle 1), I chose a matte finish […]

Christmas paperback giveaway – 4 of 4

CLOSED: WINNER TBA Fourth of Four: After The Virus I’ve held on to these two paperbacks because the spines aren’t perfect – the printing is slightly offset. But that doesn’t make the front cover, by Irene Langholm, any less pretty 🙂 The paperback for this fourth and final giveaway (just to help me distinguish) was printed August 13, […]

Christmas paperback giveaway – 3 of 4

CLOSED: WINNER TBA Third of Four: Trinkets, Treasures, and Other Bloody Magic (Dowser 2)   Printed on February 10, 2014, this paperback will soon to be replaced with a new edition (with the new cover). Same story inside though 🙂 And again, that doesn’t make the front cover, by Irene Langholm, any less pretty. I’d be happy […]

Christmas paperback giveaway – 2 of 4

CLOSED: WINNER TBA Second of Four: Spirit Binder This paperback of Spirit Binder is one of the first ten ever printed (July 31, 2012), but it was a misprint!! The spines all read SPRIRT BINDER, which was totally my mistake. Also, I’m about to bring out a second edition of this novel, so unfortunately there […]

Christmas paperback giveaway – 1 of 4

CLOSED – WINNER: TBA As I already mentioned on my Facebook page, Michael was digging through some boxes for wrapping paper and Christmas cards this afternoon and he uncovered four of my paperbacks that I hadn’t bothered unpacking when we moved. I think I’d forgotten they existed at all, actually. Lost paperbacks seem like a perfect reason to […]

I See Me – paperback proof

  Guess what arrived in today’s mail a week and a half earlier than expected? The paperback proof for I See Me (Oracle 1). It’s so gorgeous I can barely contain myself!! I chose a matte finish for the cover and I love, love, love it. The artwork is by Irene Langholm. The cover design is […]

I See Me, Oracle 1 – an excerpt and a giveaway

“There’s that guy again.” Sprawled facedown over the black vinyl chair, I had a perfect view of West Broadway through the storefront window of Get Inked. “What guy?” Tyler muttered as he hunched over my bare shoulder with his two-coil tattoo machine. Someone had to come up with a better name for that, other than […]

Chocolate Orchid

I came up to the office today after two whole days off and found that my chocolate orchid [Oncidium Sharry Baby] had bloomed. And, yes, it smells like chocolate!! It couldn’t have timed out more perfectly, because today I’m digging back into Dowser 4. Oracle 1 update – I See Me is with Leiah, the […]

reblogged: A Difficult Funeral, aka a scene from Dowser 1.5

I noticed that a few visitors to my blog found this piece of flash fiction from Sept 20, 2013 today. I’d practically forgotten all about it. I think I’d intended on writing more shorts, but then just focused on the novels. I thought you might get a kick out of it, so I’m reblogging. ———————– This […]
