Walking the seawall, rather than cutting through the streets of Kits Point, we rounded a wide corner as the sandy stretch of Kits Beach came into view. The ocean was to our right, with a stretch of sparsely spaced evergreen trees interspersed with picnic tables to our left.
The taste of peppermint tickled my senses. My step hitched.
“What?” Kandy whispered, immediately alert.
I glanced around. The moon was still a tiny sliver overhead. The buildings ahead of us were dark. I could see a pair of joggers in the distance, lights clipped to their wrists.
But no magic.
No vampires.
Specifically, no Kett.
“Kett,” I murmured. “I thought I tasted Kett’s magic.”
Kandy grumbled under her breath. The werewolf was seriously peeved at the executioner and elder of the Conclave, who hadn’t been in Vancouver for longer than a day or two since the previous October. And who had barely communicated with either of us since late April.
“He’s coming for the engagement party, isn’t he?” I asked, slightly annoyed at the needy note that twisted its way into my question.
“He RSVPed,” Kandy said with a shrug.

Synopsis:
I had everything I’d ever wanted — a successful business with a second bakery in the works, a sexy fiance who I adored, and good friends who loved to laugh almost as much as I did.
So of course it couldn’t possibly last.
Unfortunately, this time the trouble was homegrown in Vancouver, threatening my own backyard and those who were under my protection — whether they wanted to be or not.
I was, after all, the wielder of the instruments of assassination.
Apparently, cutesy cupcakes and being nice only stretched so far.

Me: *getting a drink of water from the kitchen, and – lets be honest – some chocolate.*
Michael: How is the writing going?
Me: *introspectively, speaking mostly to myself* Ah, good. I know how the rest of the chapter unfolds, I just have no idea what complication occurs in the next chapter. But, I had this idea last night when we were putting the chickies to bed, about this really … well, about this really horrible moment that happens when … *I look up to see Michael grinning to himself gleefully* What? Did I say something funny?
Michael: *shaking his head, still grinning gleefully as he rubs his hands together in anticipation* Oooo, a horrible moment!
Me: *indignant* I don’t write them for the shock value, you know! It’s just how the story unfolds sometimes.
Michael: *grinning even wider, his eyes beginning to twinkle.* Sure, sure.
Me: *narrows eyes at him* I’m going back to the office.
Michael: *laughing*
So yeah.
I’m writing.
Dowser 8.

Because I periodically go a little loopy (approximately once a year, it seems) and because Bookbub is featuring the Dowser Series Box Set #1 this upcoming Sunday, the first three books in the Dowser Series are available for $0.99 on all retailers for a limited time.

If you have any friends or family that you think might be interested, please share. Just warn them about stocking up on chocolate before they dive in … it’s like the opposite of waiting an hour after you eat to go swimming. 😀
FYI: Dowser 1, 2, and 3 are also books 1, 2, and 3 of the Adept Universe. Click here to find the full reading order.
GIVEAWAY CLOSED. WINNER TBA
I’m clearing out my cupboards, including these six audiobooks. I’ll keep a few sets to give away when Dowser 7, 8, and 9 release but I thought I give this set away randomly and another set in December.
These are actual CDs, so you need a CD player to play them (or to download the files into iTunes, etc). Sorry about the glare (the plastic covers are annoyingly shiny).
Are you interested in winning six Dowser Series audiobook CDs? Yes? To enter simply comment on this blog post.
Are you new to the Dowser Series and/or the Adept Universe? Begin reading for free, starting with Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (click for synopsis and retailer links).

I contacted Elizabeth Mackey about doing a book cover for the upcoming Dowser 7 last week. At same time, I mentioned that I’d been thinking about revamping or rebranding all the covers, but that I was hesitant to do so because the books had done really well with the lighter, simple covers.
Then I just left it with her – no guidance or specific image ideas or anything. And Elizabeth, with her killer eye and sense of all things graphic design, decided that an extreme rebranding probably wasn’t necessary but maybe the series just need a tweak, a freshening. A bit more depth and little more magic.
This is what she came up with. And I love it.
You know my favourite part? Well, of course you do … MORE CHOCOLATE!!
I’ll be rolling out all six covers over the next couple of days. And soon … so soon now, it will be time for the cover (and title) reveal for Dowser 7!!
