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)
Damn it, Jim
Wow… That’s actually kinda shitty considering how much she’s done for the con. Sure, punching Terrence wasn’t the best decision while in a leadership position, but there is some reasoning behind it.
And it would be one thing if the staff had collectively voted her out on their own, but for a leader to poison the well to that degree? That says leagues about the kind of person someone is, and it’s not a nice statement. And it’s just childish really. Big loss of respect for Jim.
Also, should Lynn’s second speech bubble say, “They would get rid of me”? There seems to be a word missing?
Nah, it’s right. It’s more slang-ish/vernacular than “proper” English, but it’s still grammatically correct.
Fair enough. I write for a living, so I don’t always catch on to slang, lol.
It’s Unagi Con’s funeral. Besides Lynn can now go back to Bork Con and revive that con and restructure it again. And I have a feeling this is story has some real life influence.
Stuff has consequences, even stuff that you should indeed be doing. Trite but true, even here.
Lynn gave Jim several huge headaches. The obvious one is “when will she be violent again?” another is “what else would she lie about?” with a third being “What other con staff will she spread those behaviors to?”
If Jim wasn’t going to go, Lynn had to go.
Or he could have done his job instead of letting the Hate Policy violator stay.
Those questions seem rather hard for a first-time offense while on his staff. She hasn’t made a pattern of these behaviors while working for him, so jumping to “Oh no! She’s inexplicably violent! I must spread a whisper campaign to passive-aggressively run her out of a leadership position!” is just childish. He’s an adult, not a teenager. What he should have done was waited until after the con and had an adult conversation with her. Like a fricking adult.
(I have little to no patience for passive-aggressive behavior from people who should know better. I dealt with that BS enough through a great deal of middle and high school.)
