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.

Don’t meet your heroes kids.
She seems nice enough so far, honestly. Meeting heroes can be fine as long you remember that all of them are people too with flaws and good sides and bad sides. Some are absolute d-bags yeah, but I’m not betting on this lady being one as of now.
Oh I misread the last panel, he cheated on her, not the other way around. Never mind what I said.
Either way, ALWAYS meet your heroes. The real ones are still heroes after you meet them.
‘Sides which, then the rest of us get the fun of watching people try to perform mental judo to reconcile the reality of their heroes with their headcanon. Humans can bluescreen, and that’s one of the situations that can cause it. All sorts of “Oh dear, I’d better get a mop, a couple chocolate bars, and a marine assault squad down here pronto” fun potential.
