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)
Of all people for him to harass! The only way it could be worse is if he approached a non-attendee guest of the hotel (I’m assuming this is a possibility since Max said they’re in a public space). I don’t imagine this will go over well for Terrence.
Max totally has this. He’ll knock this guy off his block.
Change the angle and poke him with your hair, Max!
Jokes aside, it’s possible that Max, having undoubtedly encountered plenty of overzealous noob staffers, will cut Terrence a generous amount of slack.
And then Terrence will probably press the issue…
A bit over-zealous but not too horrible considering who is saying it… and Max hasn’t used the “Don’t you know who I am!” thing yet.
I’m not angry with Terrance….. oh it’s a public space, god he is stupid.
I think you can mix in a little bit of a power Trip into this situation along with his own ignorance.
And now I’m trying to think “Who’s left on staff that remembers Max…”
I think we’ve got Veronica, Lynn, Awesome Roy, and Scrappy. Glenn? …is Glenn still on staff?
Institutional memory has weird patterns. Anthrocon has two individuals who still have Lifetime Sponsor-Level Memberships, and as neither has shown up in about 4-5 years, fewer people remember #1 Who they are #2 What they look like and #3 That they have those Lifetime Memberships.
…I should probably tell the current reg director in a properly keyworded email.
Most of the staff had contact with Max, so it’s not as few as you think… Ruth, Sarah, Barnes, and Noble all worked with Max and attended meetings with him. Heck, I think it was even Max that delivered the news to Ruth that she’d be taking over the role of hosting the cosplay contest. His departure was also fairly recent. I think it’s actually just Terrence that’s never met him before.
It’s been later than I thought that he left, heh. Noted!
I can see where it feels like longer since it’s a bi-weekly comic, lol
This reminds me of over zealous staff members the last convention I helped run where they were only meant to check for wristbands of people in the convention rooms not the public spaces we also had stuff and went trying to kick out members of the public from public spaces…
