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.

*Insert loss joke here*
Is anyone making a comic about life in a craft and fabric store? I have some friends that would read that.
Not a comic (or about fabric), but my friend Lee wrote a pretty entertaining book about working in a craft store during the Glue Slime craze. https://www.amazon.com/Glue-Famine-Lee-Bradford/dp/1983969567
Not exactly a craft store, but “Missing Threads” reminded me of something I used to read. A bit of a search pulled up “Worsted for Wear” (http://www.worstedforwear.com/). It was a knitting comic, not fabric, but close enough to click in my brain.
No one has found an/or pulled the Drama tag! It is not short packed!
*looks at I Hate November* Yeah… there’s never been drama in this comic, sure…
I meant missing threads.
Wapsi Square wandered off its slice-of-life start, so evolution is possible.
… “wandered off?” Do you also refer to nuclear explosions are somewhat warmish? They’ve not wandered off, they’ve yelled “Fark all this noise!” and ran outside and took the next train to WTF. It’s actually one of the poster children on TVTropes for ‘Plot Kuzdu” and “The Chris Carter Effect” – both of which are pretty spot on from here at least.
To be fair, tickets to WTF were on a pretty good sale… hmm.
(Yep, still do read it intermittently, but mannnnnnnnn have they gone to a dimension where no one’s ever even heard of rails, much less being on them.)
I recently did a re-read, and am trying to figure at exactly what point it left the rails. Yeah, odd things showed up fairly early, but they were also kinda small and didn’t affect much. And it just kept going, and going and going, and all of a sudden it’s really really weird.
Well, I believe they are measured in “Sunshine Units.”
OH YEA! I forgot about that comic i dropped off right after the thing w the time loop was fixed
”Slice of life’? That sounds boring.’
‘Well, have you tried reading the first couple comics? It would only take a minute.’
‘Nah, it sounds boring.’
‘Hundreds of fans love it and check for updates every day.’
‘Nah, sounds boring.’
‘You’re not even going to give it a chance, are you?’
‘Nope, sounds boring.’
The real person this is based on was genuinely confused at the concept that a comedy comic was a THING.
I remember being confused that DRAMATIC comics were a thing. I never understood Mary Worth or Prince Valiant!
To be fair the poster she has up implies it’s darker then it apparently is
