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.

Eh 5 is the number I aimed for when I did my panel a few years ago. I was happy when I got 6 to attend at the start however I got more as the panel went on. But still 5 is a very go number to aim for.
I would sit atop a cactus for eight hours to get five new staff people.
What kind of cactus? Clothed or naked?
Aren’t cacti always naked?
Never could get that concept through heads at work. “We need another guy for nights.” ‘Well the HR manager interviewed someone this afternoon.’ “So? For every 10 people interviewed, 5 will show up for training, 2 for the first night, and 1 will show up a second night. No promises on how long they’ll last after that.”
Lord, I remember these discussions in the early days.
Pretty f’in much.
