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 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.
