The Election – Assertive
Daisho Con! Wisconsin Dells! This Weekend! Be there!
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.

“your name really is scrappy for a while”?
Also since joining nobrandcon its been one “Your real name is what?” after another.
I can’t even begin to tell you how it is in furry conventions. Just about everyone has a Fursona with a completely different name, and then nicknames play in and out of those. Some nicknames are yours. Some are your Fursona’s.
It was years before I knew that “Bennie” was really Phil.
My assistant Director is “Jazzy” or “Foxish” or “Disco” to various people. His email says he’s “Tyler”. His real name is Tim, and I had to go double-check that just now.

Squall, Vash, ThunderGod, V-Chan, D-Chan, Bard… I’m bad with names to start with, so when nick names start getting thrown in… known some of these people for years, and still not sure what their ‘real’ name is.
