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.

A “redacted” version, she says.
This does not bode well.
Well it appears a con feud has begun.
And this is where email timestamps become handy.
It’s simple: Post an unredacted version on Bork con’s FB page.
But yeah. A propaganda war has started.
But the thing is this: I had a guy who “ran” my gaming group. He was an angel/devil petty manipulator who was fantastic when good and this side of demonic when bad. Jim is looking more and more like him.
If the comparison holds, This could be Jim’s last year running Unagi Con.
If the Unagi con staff all have “bad Jim” experiences and Jim putting too much time into his war with Lynn instead of maintaining power, he could well get voted out next time there is a vote. Especially if it is secret ballot. People don’t often want to rock the boat so Jim isn’t likely to face a coup. Unless things get worse.
