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.

Well then. Jim’s level of unprofessionalism just keeps getting worse, doesn’t it? Also, I’m kinda trying to wrap my head around an alliance between Terrence and Jim… I mean, wow.
I’m disappointed in Jim. Not entirely surprised because people used to power can get awfully petty when they are challenged and lose, but disappointed nonetheless. I liked his low-key style and this isn’t low-key. Sure he’s a calculating social manipulator. Running an organization like Unagi Con, where they hold elections for con posts, that’s practically a job requirement.
Running a FB group and putting numerous posts into it, is time he isn’t spending on Unagi con.
Plus, how hard is it to set up a fake FB account to post from? That’s just lazy.
I’ve seen in happen in real life.
Only asking because I’ve seen this come up IRL for a con… is this anti-Bork Con FB group using the Bork Con logo? Because I’m assuming that Bork Con has their logo trademarked, which means this FB group can’t legally use it without authorization…
Does Jim realize that Terrance is the guy who showed up at UnagiCon in a Nazi uniform? Because even if he’s really, really pissed at Lynn, someone with enough social smarts to stay Unagicon Chair for a decade ought to have given some thought to the potential blowback that could come from palling around with a guy that likes to dress up as a Nazi. Because that’s bound to come out at some point.
I think it’s been established that Jim doesn’t have a problem with that.
Honest to God, I thought it was going to be Gardner and Terrance ganging up on Bork Con. Who knew?
