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.

The Man in charge… never thought about how often it automatically defaults to the male pronoun in these situation… Thanks Trae, just what I need to lay awake thinking about tonight.
I find it rather amusing that given the shift in personnel, the “man in charge” now in fact refers to the one member on staff who can rival Lynn in terms if fierceness. This should be fun.
One reason I like being a 6’5″ guy, I rarely have to put up with this sort of bullshit.
One reason I don’t, I occasionally get called to assist when someone else does.
yea when your over 6 foot all you gotta do is look pissed off and people raerly argue with you
Now, question. In this situation do you call the actual person running the con, or do you call the largest person(or veteran) on staff?
In my experience, it’s either the convention director or ops manager that steps in at this point. If they still refuse to leave, a legal contract is going to look better to the police than blatant intimidation. And it’s never a good idea to let stuff like this fly under the director’s nose, especially when it happens in a place attendees can see it. Head of security might be present as well depending on what happens.
Snicker… this should be good….
