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’m pretty much waiting for Lynn to whip out a Gondor-sized horn, blow it, and watch the forces of Grammar ride up over the hill behind her to charge Garner. The forces of evil must be be given a good talking to! Possibly with a flick behind the ear and a couple of head bonks.
Quite possibly the cartoonist as well for playing bait the forces of Grammar ;p
When I make a mistake, I have two choices.
1. Fix it.
2. Decide the character made the mistake, and see what happens.
This interaction popped into my head, so I went with the second option.
Yep, and the latter was a complete surprise – and it worked. So, bonk on the head comes with a, “Well played, sir.”
….I figured he meant what he said. They are coaching people. Acting as the leader of a team, a coach. The people are being coached. If you are deceptive in the coaching you are doing, you are coaching in deception.
….though now that a check, he said pretense, not deception, but still works out the same.
