Cupcakes, Trinkets, and Other Deadly Magic (Dowser Series Book 1) [Kindle Edition]

Meghan Ciana Doidge

If you’d asked me a week ago, I would have told you that the best cupcakes were dark chocolate with chocolate cream cheese icing, that dancing in a crowd of magic wielders — the Adept — was better than sex, and that my life was peaceful and uneventful. Just the way I liked it. That’s what twenty-three years in the magical backwater of Vancouver will get you — a completely skewed sense of reality. Because when the dead werewolves started showing up, it all unraveled … except for the cupcake part. That’s a universal truth.

This 68,000 word urban fantasy is the first book of the Dowser Series by author Meghan Ciana Doidge.

Hello Everyone!

My name is Tom Harris and I write under the name of T.R. Harris. Check out my blog at: bytrharris.com.

I currently have a best-selling science fiction series available entitled The Human Chronicles Saga, with five books in Part One and three books in Part Two. I have also begun another light-hearted series called Jason King: Agent to the Stars, with book one–The Enclaves of Sylox–now available.

With regards to The Human Chronicles, the books in Part One include: The Fringe Worlds, Alien Assassin, The War of Pawns, The Tactics of Revenge and The Legend of Earth.

Part Two of the series includes Cain’s Crusaders, The Apex Predator and the latest and final book in Part Two of the series: A Galaxy to Conquer, which was released on April 19, 2014.

The adventures of Adam Cain WILL continue, with the next book due out for Christmas 2014. Check out my website/blog for updates as they become available at bytrharris.com.

The inspiration for The Human Chronicles series came from an ad for a T-shirt in the old Soldier of Fortune Magazine. It was of a muscle-bound man, holding a smoking gun and standing over a dead dragon-looking thing. The caption read: “I don’t know what it was — but it’s dead!”

This really struck me, the concept of humans not being afraid of anything, and when faced with a challenge as big as the universe, we can overcome any threat with a swagger and a wink! Just think, on the planet Earth we’re the badasses. Why would it be any different in outer space?

The series also introduces the reader to my concept of what a realistic galactic empire would look like — The Juirean Expansion — and how every advanced race shares the same wants, needs and desires as other intelligent beings. It’s not complicated. When you reach a certain level of evolution we all become more or less the same in our motivations.

The books are also written from the most realistic vantage point possible; my characters even have to go to the bathroom now and then! When was the last time you saw that in a sci-fi book. Adam Cain, the main character, also has anxiety attacks, is homesick … and is really pissed-off that he’s been yanked out of his comfortable life back on Earth and thrown into a smelly, disgusting and ‘alien’ universe.

As I say in the books, Adam Cain is an Alien with an Attitude … and he makes everyone around him pay for his bad mood!

The books are quick and easy reads, and have been part of one of the bestselling sci-fi series on Amazon over the past two years. I hope you enjoy them.
