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)
I’m picturing 10 more minutes of intermittent “But what if” “No.” 40 seconds later: “Yeah but what” “NO.” 2 minutes later:”Wait” “NO!” She’s demanding a lot here!
The internal explanation can also include the reasoning that they aren’t worth our time. We’re too busy planning a successful convention.
She may be demanding a lot, but this is the only good path to take. Honestly, one I would as well.
The best response to someone who is trying to game you is to not play the game. At least, not play the game by the rules they set.
While I agree playing his game is a bad idea, it seems there should be -some- official response.
Absolutely not.
Making any kind of public response is giving it credence. It actually makes it WORSE when you acknowledge crazy shit because its the crazy shit that’s looking for attention.
If it were something that Borkcon did that was fucked up, and them admitting fault, that is one thing. But this? This is another person making a seemly ‘private’ e-mail public and editing it for his own game in the hopes that he can bring down another con through a drawn out negative PR game.
No matter what you do publically it puts you in a no-win scenero, not even recovering PR. What Jim did is genius sure, but it wasn’t smart.
Because people figure this out eventually when the cards are play correctly, which is what Lynn is going for.
