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.
Which isn’t to say the convention can’t be done… zero money is where most conventions start out. Now to raise funds, and go from there. And you have a team of people already who have an idea what they’re doing, as well as whatever supplies belong to the con, so you’ve a leg up. Not to say it’s going to be easy, just possible.
One problem is that cons tend to grow throughout the years. Starting out from zero again would mean having to set up a smaller or lower-quality event than what the visitors became accustomed to.
Glad to see that got out of this year without debt.
Very few cons that aren’t first-year start out at zero. I don’t know the scale of BorkCon or what their expenses look like but it might be rough to get any venue with no money.
