Current Post On Trae’s Blog:
I'm excited to announce that Shadowcasting, book three in the Mia Graves Saga, is now out!
I could run through a brief description of the book and I give the back-of-book synopsis again (like I did when pre-orders went up), but you can go back and read that post if you want to. The short version is "how do you talk a twenty-something out of using a magical nuke, especially when you just work retail."
In all honesty, this is my favorite book in the series so far. In some ways it's very different than the two earlier books in a couple of ways, but still feels like the same series. There's not much else I can say without major spoilers, so you'll just have to trust me on that one.
Like my earlier releases, for the first three months the eBook will be available only on Kindle (and Kindle Unlimited), but you can also get the paperback a couple of ways. First off, there's always Amazon, but you can always direct order a copy if you want to avoid Bezos. Finally, you can get it through any bookseller with the ISBN 9781088207031.
So yeah, the book is here, and I'm excited that folks will get to read it finally.

This was a huge fear early on with our convention as well. Too much bullshit meant too little was getting done.
Wait, the meetings are WEEKLY?!
I’m guessing a huge majority of the staff must live nearby.
There are cons that don’t meet weekly?
Our Directors range from Colorado to Connecticut to Florida. The closest to our convention locale lives five hours away.
We meet formally twice a year. once at the convention and once four months before. There’s a fair bit of “Hey, we’re at this other con, let’s chat” but we do a LOT of email.
The month or so before the convention, certainly… the rest of the year… well, it’s established this isn’t a normal convention group… wasting that much time, they’d need to meet weekly to get anything accomplished.
Part of me thinks 4 hours isn’t so bad for a convention meeting, but that includes the time spent standing around bullshitting before and after…
We don’t go to weekly until we’re less than a month away from the con. It’s monthly most of the time then every three or so weeks
okay you either let me fix your site the way it needs to be fixed or i walk and you can find some other sucker to do this
Hey, at least they meet every week…it coulld have been a MONTHLY schedule…
