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.

Well done. This will worry him more than just about any other possible course of action. Misdirection isn’t just for stage magic.
Kill em with kindness. Or I could throw in the thing in the Bible and what Jesus said about turning other cheek. Either way, this is a very interesting way to handle things. It’s funny how some of the more pacifist methods tend to work. Although Jim is probably going to keep that grudge.
Bork con really needs to update their webpage… or is the comic moving slow enough that it really is only 2014?
It’s got to be killing him that Lynn isn’t pitching a fit, getting upset, etc etc. He wants a confrontation and he’s not getting it. Lynn acting like absolutely nothing happened. Sweet
I almost wonder if Lynn responding like was preciously Jim’s intent somewhere, as if he’s trying to prove his claims of her being dangerous. Honestly though, I don’t think he’s dumb enough to aim exactly for that since it means he would be purposely trying to provoke violence. Jim’s an douchebag, but I don’t think (and I could be wrong) that he’d stoop as low as someone getting injured on purpose.
Non-physical hostile reactions and insults though, yeah, he was definitely hoping for that.
Random question. Why do the cons keep putting Bork Con and Unagi Con next to each other at the Ambassador Alley?
Because it’s conducive to funny comic strips!
In-universe? Maybe lack of space? That sounds plausible…
Yea I figure it sets up for the joke, but I’m just wondering how that keep happens in the said universe. This just might be a coincidence this time, if this happens a third time, then something is clearly fishy.
Might be some con specific organization method that only the cons themselves are privy to. That or they’re just putting the ambassador tables all in one area and there aren’t that many to the point it just keeps happening by coincidence.
According to the staff mailing list that they still haven’t removed me from, They weren’t a problem in the past and they already told Whatsitcon that they couldn’t be moved without messing up the program book so nobody else could be moved without looking really bad.
