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.

Not to be “that guy”, but you have a typo. Garner’s word bubble says “how MAN hours have you worked”…
Don’t worry man, if you hadn’t, I would have.
Ugh, I gendered you based on your avatar… Sorry if I’m off-base.
Ugh. Thanks. I’ve fixed it.
You aren’t the first or the last to do it. Just about everyone I’ve seen with a comic that’s gone long term has put one up at one time or another. At least you didn’t end up with a typo that made the speech all seriously capital W wrong.
Oh, I do it all the time — I just usually notice and fix it within an hour of the comic going live 😛
I have been in Sarah’s shoes.
I split my time between the game room, dealers room, and working more security with nothin’ else to do. And the latter and the former often doubled up as ‘game room monitoring’, which I was able to do while playing games.
Sounds to me like it’s time for a nap…. then again, I tend to spend Con running a panel until 6am.
How much you wanna bet there’s a requirement of 16 hours worked to maintain a staff position? I know my con has that requirement.
If Sarah works teardown, that would give her at least one more hour (and many cons count double points for work done during teardown)
