Archivist O: paperback unboxing & giveaway

These beauties arrived in the mail today! Scroll through for all the pretty pictures.

Shall we do a giveaway? With absolutely no guarantee as to when I will actually get the autographed paperback in the mail? For example, Debbie, who won the release day giveaway at the end of March, still hasn’t been shipped her books (even though they are all boxed and ready to go) (that is how behind I am). Just FYI.

Yes?

Okay then!

Actually lets make it THREE autographed copies … that’s still only one trip to the post office.

COMMENT BELOW (not on Facebook, etc) and let me know that you will give one of these pretty Awakening Infinity (Archivist 0) paperbacks a loving home! I’ll throw in any little extras I have on hand … probably bookplates, etc.

Likes and shares are always welcomed and appreciated.

Notes/Rules: OPEN INTERNATIONALLY. One entry per person. THREE winners will be selected by random number generator. Email addresses are not collected for any purpose other than to contact the winner. No purchase necessary.

The comments are moderated. I will approve your entry just as soon as I have a moment to do so.

Giveaway closes SUNDAY, MAY 02, 2021 at 8pm PDT (giving me time to mention it to my newsletter, because there won’t be a free short this month).

Are you new to the Adept Universe? Book one is Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1).

Archivist 0: Cover reveal and synopsis

I’m celebrating getting the prequel to the Archivist series off to the proofreader today by revealing the freaking gorgeous book cover by Damonza, along with the synopsis.

As with The Amplifier Protocol last year, Awakening Infinity (Archivist 0) will be serialized here on my blog every Wednesday and Friday, starting January 1, 2021. I’ll also make the preorder available by that date for those of you who prefer to read all at once. Don’t worry I’ll email all the details to my mailing list (make sure you’re subscribed) and refresh my ‘how to subscribe to MCD’s blog’ instructions so you don’t miss a chapter.

Without further chatter – the gorgeous cover!

Book cover by Damonza.

Synopsis: The plan was to hop a train to Oslo, hang out at a coffee shop, and connect my personal archive, Infinity, to the Internet. Yes, completely disregarding the well-established fact that magic and technology didn’t mix. At all.

I was also hoping to browse as many bookstores as I could before my younger brother’s patience ran out. Unfortunately, the five-year-old fledgling dragon was better known for his exuberant — and ultimately destructive — tendencies rather than his attention span.

I almost pulled it all off. Almost proved that my position as Archivist of the Modern World wasn’t just an empty title. 

Then I got summoned — by the most powerful beings in the magical world. And when the guardian dragons made a request, no one denied them. Not even a lesser dragon.

Not even if it tore me away from everything I’d ever known — and the one person I couldn’t leave behind.

Awakening Infinity is a prequel novel in the Archivist series, which is set in the same universe as the Dowser, Oracle, Reconstructionist, Amplifier, and Misfits of the Adept Universe series. While it is not necessary to read all the series, in order to avoid spoilers the ideal reading order of the Adept Universe begins with Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser 1). Or click here for the full reading order.
