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)
>_< and since airsoft riffles don' have orange barrel tips someone thought they were real and called the cops
Well, actually, they usually DO come with orange tips. Teeny, tiny orange tips that are hard to see from a distance…
Curious about something with other cons and how their staff handle certain shenanigans (seeing the last panel made me think about it all of the sudden xD) Does anyone ever run into issues with cosplayers that go up to tall as heck parking garages and stand up on ledges for, at least a hour, sometimes 2+ hours for “super awesome” pictures? Not groups most the time, but like only 2 people and no one else. I really hope this comes across right but i’ve seen a lot of people talking about cons they are staff of or used to be of in the comments xD
Ask Dr. Conway about that one. (Anthrocon) The result of which our attendees lost the use of the rooftop terrace of the convention center for the weekend. Plus we then had to pay for round the clock security on the roof for the entire weekend. Mr Conway had a talk with “Mr H”. I’m not sure if they found all the body parts…….
Yeah… if you’re going to do a photoshoot, or a film… have someone with a large sign or something. Not only helps keep people from wandering into your shot, helps keep the police from being called.
On the other hand, how long before some mass killer first hands out flyers about the ‘realistic paintball game’ they’re about to play?
Pretty sure this happened at No Brand one year – kid got walked through the lobby by the cops in the middle of cosplay judging so they could verify if he was part of the con, because someone looked out their window and saw his prop guns in his car.
The one I heard was people were actually roleplaying fights with various weapons in the parking garage and on the ramps.
On the one hand, if they’re outside, they’re technically out of convention jurisdiction (at least depending on the con’s contract with the venue).
On the other hand… this is why my con doesn’t allow airsofts, even if they’ve been permanently disabled.
I keep thinking of our filming for Awesome Rangers 2. The Ghostie-Wosties were a sheet with eye holes, over top a party hat. They looked a lot like KKK members, which was on purpose. Filming at the park… next to a large black family reunion… lots of very quick damage control, that those are COSTUMES worn by ACTORS who are playing VILLAINS.
