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.

That last panel is the best thing ever possibly.
The force is strong in Ruth – that’s some weapons-grade purposeful social situation ignoring. I know she’s written that way, but that’s still limit break territory. I doubt I’d be able to resist jumping out of the car after Sarah – possibly before.
Ruth’s good at PRETENDING she’s not noticing things.
I know I’ve only hinted at a rougher upbringing with her before, but let’s just say appearing calm is way different than BEING calm.
(You’ll notice that she’s actually narrowly focusing herself on something)
Well sure – I can’t imagine anyone being genuinely oblivious, barring someone that’s a good ways down the autism spectrum or somesuch. But even to be able to PRETEND at that level… woman’s frickin’ Yoda. I enjoy the detached observer gig myself, but I don’t think I could pull it off convincingly.
SHE’S GONE FULL MOM!
