So this has been probably one of my most productive years creatively in a long time. Back in January I published my first novel, The Witch and the Rose, and followed it up in June with a sequel, Bloody Damn Rite. Well, today I'm excited to officially announce the third book in the series, Shadowcasting, will be available on 12/15/2024! Like the earlier books in the series, you can pre-order the book on Kindle immediately, and it will arrive on your device December 15th ready to go.
Honestly, I'm super excited about this one. It's probably my favorite book in the series, and I can't wait for you guys to get your hands on it. Here's the back of cover synopsis:
Winter has clawed its way into the heart of Parrish Mills, and something far darker may have come with it. When Mia Graves, a witch with a habit of getting into trouble, and her best friend Riley Whittaker stumble across a grisly scene along the Wabash River, they find it reeks of dark, forbidden magic and has left at least one charred body in its wake.
With the help of young Bobbi Crawford, the further Mia and Riley dig into the events that took place on that cold Indiana morning, the more dire their circumstances reveal themselves to be. Between a stolen grimoire and a group of young witches who may not know how dangerous their actions are, shadows loom in the dark of winter.
And one of those shadows may be more dangerous than anyone imagined.
(Also, and this is unrelated, the non-Kindle, DRM free ePub version of Bloody Damn Rite is now available in my Patreon store too)
Having once lost a venue two weeks out and being on staff of a con that we moved to an open working airport. This seems so much easier.
When your con is broke, ‘Almost nothing” is the right cost.
In this situation I’d perhaps have the “Mini-Bork One Day Con” at the Expo Center with the goal of fundraising, and then plan the real con at a real hotel.
At the least go do a walkthrough. Maybe it’s not as bad as you think it is. (Granted, maybe it’s worse). At this point, they shouldn’t ignore any options.
I have a feeling that I know where the con will end up…
Having seen what emerges when you move the shelves of a grocery store that’ve been there a while… it could be nasty.
I’m trying to imagine a converted grocery store into convention center and I just can’t, it always ends up way too small. If Bork Con is expecting less than 250 people it might work, but Bork Con seemed to be pretty successful before so I can’t see that.
Seriously though, how would there be more than 2 or 3 rooms in a converted grocery store?
There was a con that did this a year or two ago. You don’t really get rooms, you’d have to put up pole & drape.
poorly converted store? {flashes back to early X-Cons in Oconomowoc} Now that I think about it, X-Con landed there as a result of the Astor Disaster. “plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose”
