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)
I’m hearing a certain Danny Elfman TV theme from the early 90’s in my head right now…
The only Danny Elfman themes I can think of are Beetlejuice and Batman, which both come from the 80s, so you’re going to have to help me on this one. 😛
Although if you just got your decade slightly off, either of those work… 😛
Here’s a hint: the property for which said theme was written is being adapted into a new TV series this fall, and the star of the earlier version will play a recurring role in it.
Another hint: it does not contain the Third Doctor’s son… 😉
I never thought the theme to Sleepy Hollow was that notable…
(Kidding, I have figured it out – I just hate Barry Allen too much on principle to acknowledge reality)
Badge Numbers?
Many cons number badges. It helps with keeping accurate counts, along with giving you something to use as a primary key in a registration system.
Indeed. When you have two Emily Smiths[*1], the badge number tells you who’s who. When costumers want a blank badge so their cosplay/new fursuit can be secret, the badge number gives you positive info. You can auction the right to badge #1 for charity, too!
I’m badge #2 at Anthrocon, and have been for 5 years. Our chairman is #0.
[*1] They’re both dealers, too.
