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.

I remember doing something similar. I remember going to the storage unit for No Brand Con with someone who knew the combo to the lock. We went to check in on the stuff and I ended up taking a staff tshirt from that last year’s con. I told staff that I did that so they weren’t upset. It was sort of what this comic reminds me off.
20 says there is loot in there worth enough to revive the con
I have no idea, what does the rent on a storage unit run?
Seriously dependent on where, at least in the U.S. it is. Low low end in Southern Cali is like $40 to $100 and some a month – that’s like a 5X10 “Hey look it’s a closet” unit. High end/I actually need space for some stuff” like $100-400 and some. That’d be say 10X20.
Conversely a friend of mine that lives in Kentucky is renting a 10X10 for like $40, and that’s with climate control and such – so a decent one.
YMMV
So on a yearly payment, cheap end will be around $400, while expensive side could be $5000. Either way, not likely something to be paid out of pocket until the con gets back on it’s feet.
I’ve currently got a 10′ x 10′ indoor with a/c and insurance for ~$150. Same thing outdoor with no a/c and no insurance is under $100. But I wouldn’t keep valuable convention stuff in anything other than the indoor/air conditioned/insured
