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.

Sarah, just trade rooms with her. It’s far better for both of you if you do.
I do NOT see this ending well.
Maybe it’s just me, but if I were told the Con was seriously short on cash, I’d find out my budget, and then do everything in my power to come in under that. My opening goal is half the former budget. I understand that depending on your department, that might not be possible, but still…
You assume most people have far more foresight than they actually have in my experience 😛
More I assume people who get put in charge should have foresight. I know most people don’t, but I like to think most people aren’t the ones put in charge. Experience has shown otherwise, but I keep hoping.
next meeting she should announce the next person who asks for there budget to be expanded instead gets it cut by 5% every time you ask
Able to justify =/= able to afford, and anybody who doesn’t understand that has no business working on anything with a budget…
