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 really want to know what “the incident” with glitter was.
Like “The Noodle Incident” from Calvin & Hobbes, it’s probably funnier if we never find out the details.
This scenario sounds about right. The first time I assumed the role as dealer’s liaison for a convention, there was a case of theft in the vendor hall the one day I went off-site for lunch. I returned to find that security had been called and everything. Thankfully, the issue was resolved quickly and they ended up not needing to call me to rush back.
(To note, I had informed my staff I was going off-site for lunch and would be back in about an hour or so.)
…also, they’re electing her Con Chair…
Yup – everything happens at the meeting you miss.
Whee – a “How the hell does this con ever survive year after year??” illustration meeting, my favorite! (The answer of course is by sucking in a few competent people, and bitching your face off when they start shouting and beating you about the head and neck with a pipe until you agree to something workable.) Then that person gets tired of it, and a new challenger appears…
