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.

Fake geek should keep his mouth shut
Veronica did mismanage Terrence. She either shouldn’t have let him on staff to begin with or shouldn’t have let Sarah go after him so relentlessly.
To be clear Veronica didn’t cause the Bork Con’s money problems, but Jim showed with the way he runs Unagi Con that a problem personality can be handled and their strengths still utilized. But you need tools more subtle than a sledgehammer.

….wow…. just when I think he’s hit rock bottom, he breaks out the jackhammer and keeps going.
Open mouth, insert foot, chew vigorously…
In addition to being a major Douche, he also seems to be missing several clues about how concoms work.
Most of ’em I think. Though to be honest since he’s only there to help his ego by taking credit for success and blaming other people for failure, actually getting involved in making it RUN would be counterproductive. Besides being a major Douche.
Had something like this happen when I was running a con. An ‘artist’ managed to get himself kicked out of our event for being a total arse. The next day they decided to clog our forums with a tirade about how we were ‘unfair’ to him. They decided to go onto just about every other convention forum they could find and post their same message. I spent the better part of 2 weeks tracking them down and posting our side.
Those like T-Douche above have a special place in heck awaiting for them.
