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)
What kind of hat is that? The ears can bend when you have some anxiety.
It’s a normal hat that happens to exist in a comic. Like Max’s hair, it doesn’t need to make sense.
It could also be a modified version of those ears that move based on your brainwaves. I’ve forgotten the product name, but you can buy them.
Yet it isn’t! 😛
Now I want to kit-bash a hat that actually does that.
Maybe once Necomimi comes down sufficiently in price…

We havn’t -lost- anyone doing this… but there was the one time a guy got placed into a carefully labeled and properly recorded crate. We knew right where he was the whole time.
That happened to Duct Tape boy once…
Got caught in one of those earlier this year – seems the decision was made to extend the con to the end of Sunday, figuring we could stash everything in the temporary storage room. Alas, it turned out that we didn’t HAVE that particular room for more than a few hours after we closed down before the hotel had to make it up for something else coming up Monday morning. Good old missed communications. This will not happen next year. 🙂
I love how Sarah’s hat ears droop when she gets upset, it looks adorable.
In my experience, tear-down goes a *lot* faster then setup, at least if it’s well organised. I don’t know whether this would work at anime cons: but at the Free Software conference I mentioned before, at the closing ceremonies they always ask people to stay around a bit if they can, to help out with the tear-down — and there are always some who do. (Including myself: I really like helping out with carrying stuff — it’s an easy way to make myself feel useful…) This way everything tends to be over within like 1 1/2 hours or so.
