So this has been probably one of my most productive years creatively in a long time. Back in January I published my first novel, The Witch and the Rose, and followed it up in June with a sequel, Bloody Damn Rite. Well, today I'm excited to officially announce the third book in the series, Shadowcasting, will be available on 12/15/2024! Like the earlier books in the series, you can pre-order the book on Kindle immediately, and it will arrive on your device December 15th ready to go.
Honestly, I'm super excited about this one. It's probably my favorite book in the series, and I can't wait for you guys to get your hands on it. Here's the back of cover synopsis:
Winter has clawed its way into the heart of Parrish Mills, and something far darker may have come with it. When Mia Graves, a witch with a habit of getting into trouble, and her best friend Riley Whittaker stumble across a grisly scene along the Wabash River, they find it reeks of dark, forbidden magic and has left at least one charred body in its wake.
With the help of young Bobbi Crawford, the further Mia and Riley dig into the events that took place on that cold Indiana morning, the more dire their circumstances reveal themselves to be. Between a stolen grimoire and a group of young witches who may not know how dangerous their actions are, shadows loom in the dark of winter.
And one of those shadows may be more dangerous than anyone imagined.
(Also, and this is unrelated, the non-Kindle, DRM free ePub version of Bloody Damn Rite is now available in my Patreon store too)
Barnes you Might want to move you don’t want to get any of the beatdown he is about to get
I think that’s scrappy, also yes he is definitely in the splash zone.
It’s definitely Scrappy–the tags don’t lie.
my bad yea i should have checked the tag
Damn, our meetings get like this but only pre or post minute taking. One the record douchery is rare. Terrence needs some serious ‘correcting’
You know, I used to think Sarah P was being harsh on him. Now I’m seriously starting to think Terrence is a douchecanoe.
It’s hard to tell. We don’t really know who was agitating and who was the reacting. If Terrence was this bad from meeting #1, then yes he is a douche-canoe. But if he’s only a little bad and socially inept, then more responsibility shifts to Sarah.
Unfortunately by now the pattern is set. People usually respond to douchery with their own counter-douchery.
And escalate.
So even if Terrence wasn’t so bad, being badgered constantly by Sarah could leave him feeling that he has license to be that bad in self-defense. Probably both Sarah and Terrence feel justified in being completely rude to each other.
Another factor in this is leadership failure. Veronica should have put a stop to the bickering months ago. Maybe she’s tried. We don’t see enough meetings to really know. This could be the meeting where the personality conflict really explodes, though again, Veronica should have at least attempted to address the conflict before a blow-up *could* occur. Arguably she’s been a bit preoccupied by the con’s finances. These things happen and nobody’s perfect.
Yeah, except here we see him go after Ruth when there hasn’t been any (shown) problems between them before now. That says he’s just a pain to work with, and fits with his comment from June 29th as just a dude who tends to piss people off.
Plus, the blatant sexism in the last panel just makes him a garbage person.
He’s at least a doucheyacht, if not a doucheaircraftcarrier.
Douche ex machina!
