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.

“you are not special” Burst that bubble!
protip: rampant egotripping is reserved for those who actually know what they are doing. Sometimes not even then.
“Just” being a fan isn’t good enough for con-running, not anymore. If you’ve never worked a con, you not only don’t know what is needful, you don’t know what you don’t know.
It’s interesting to watch Terrence retreat to successively desperate lines of defense. “Dumb”, then “Demeaning”, then “not appropriate”, each failing.
Lynn and Ruth smart smart smart
Terrence dumb dumb dumb
…..did he just say doing the job right is dumb? Because it sure sounded like it from here.
Every con staff has its own Terrence 😀
