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.

Was waiting for a “but I’m really so and so from some anime” as there are some costumes out there that at a distance look pretty nazi, but then I found Trae’s article and thought “Yikes”
There are plenty who will go “Oh, it’s from X” with it, but no. It’s 2018, if you’re dressing as a Nazi, you know what you’re doing. My “Favorite” was the middle aged dude wearing a full uniform, with a 5′ flag, and a 3 year old in a Captain America outfit. The swastika was larger than the child. Because I’m sure that’s purely about the Avengers, right?
There’s an article?
yep

Oh wow, sweet. By Trae’s standards (historical atrocities) I get to kick out pro-socialist and pro-communist edgelords wearing Communists stars, Hammer and Sickles, and Che shirts, from all the Florida conventions. Bonus!
What about someone cosplaying Man in the High Tower? As a Jew MHT and Red Skull cosplay don’t bother me, real Nazis do. Is there something I’m missing with MHT & Red Skull being refused at some cons?
Yes, many conventions have outright banned anything Red Skull, Hydra, 40k Commissars, Nazi Werewolves, etc
No Hydra?
No Hydra? According to Agents of SHIELD series Hydra pre-dates Nazis by 500 years at least.
What’re being banned are Nazi uniforms.
If someone is dressing up as a Hydra member from 500 years ago, they wouldn’t be wearing anything close to a Nazi uniform.
