So this has been probably one of my most productive years creatively in a long time. Back in January I published my first novel, The Witch and the Rose, and followed it up in June with a sequel, Bloody Damn Rite. Well, today I'm excited to officially announce the third book in the series, Shadowcasting, will be available on 12/15/2024! Like the earlier books in the series, you can pre-order the book on Kindle immediately, and it will arrive on your device December 15th ready to go.
Honestly, I'm super excited about this one. It's probably my favorite book in the series, and I can't wait for you guys to get your hands on it. Here's the back of cover synopsis:
Winter has clawed its way into the heart of Parrish Mills, and something far darker may have come with it. When Mia Graves, a witch with a habit of getting into trouble, and her best friend Riley Whittaker stumble across a grisly scene along the Wabash River, they find it reeks of dark, forbidden magic and has left at least one charred body in its wake.
With the help of young Bobbi Crawford, the further Mia and Riley dig into the events that took place on that cold Indiana morning, the more dire their circumstances reveal themselves to be. Between a stolen grimoire and a group of young witches who may not know how dangerous their actions are, shadows loom in the dark of winter.
And one of those shadows may be more dangerous than anyone imagined.
(Also, and this is unrelated, the non-Kindle, DRM free ePub version of Bloody Damn Rite is now available in my Patreon store too)
I feel the urge to make a multiplane camera joke, but I can’t come up with one.
I like playing with multiple layers of depth and trying to mimic different types of camera effects. i do it a lot more often in Crosarth
It’s definitely an appropriate effect for an anime con, seeing as how, in the pre-digital age, multiplane shots were far more common in TV anime than in American TV animation (I’m working on Otakon’s Classic Track right now, so this sort of thing is very much at the forefront of my thoughts 😉 )
Also – the jokes,
“Ruth seems out of her depth”
“Sometimes it takes a minute for things to become clear”
“Barnes would be a great staffer if he could just focus”
Hey look it’s Harry
‘Not much bad can happen right now.’ …really, why does anyone ever say anything like that? It’s like taunting the Universe.
Pre-reg is kind of always the stress-free shift, for us. We know no matter how bad it might go, it’s still pushing through people so much faster than On-site.
..especially this year, when the reg computers had grand fail. From one line of code. For a facebook like button we forgot to pull.
Not my department anymore!

You just had to say it, Ruth…
