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.

It’s a thought.
You might have a higher deposit.
Is an option. New management, damage was paid for, hotels don’t always have the best memories when it comes to paying guests… worth looking into, though I wouldn’t be hopeful.
Sometimes you just get a venue that’s hurting for events bad enough that they’ll hold their nose. I will say, make very damn sure you don’t have anything horrible go wrong if you do have it in such a place though. Usually once you’d burned them before you get the “special” contract for use. Contains many fun penalties if things should go Wrong.
Read the fine print very carefully. Vaguely recall a tale of some convention got stuck being responsible for the damage of all guests staying at the hotel during the convention. ALL guests, not just those attending the convention.
It never hurts to ask.
