I am terribly excited about the release of Shadowheist, now available on Kindle, Audible, and paperback. I’ve talked about it for a year now, and it’s great to finally see it hit the market. It is indeed YA (Young Adult) and suitable for your kids to listen to or read. In Shadowheist, we continue to follow the development of Gatina Anna Furturis as she learns how to be the consummate thief known as the Kitten of Night – against a backdrop of social and political upheaval in which her family has taken a side. In this installment, she is being sent to ecclesiastical school at the ancient and mysterious Saganite at Palomar Abbey, where she is to study to be a Nocturn – a lay nun of the order – after her family’s successful series of heists. Sounds boring, right? Nothing with the Kitten of Night is boring of course, and Gatina racks up an impressive series of adventures during her stay at the astronomically inclined abbey. Especially not with the sudden influx of Royal Censors from around the newly-proclaimed kingdom seeking refuge in Count Vichetral’s Alshar. It also reveals the circumstances of Gatina’s rajira emerging, her first studies of magic and her introduction into shadowmagic. It was a fun novel to write and I want to thank my co-author Emily Burch Harris for being a part of it. We’ll be starting on the third and final volume in the trilogy, Shadowblade, shortly and I’m even more excited about that because of the subject matter. I’m very pleased at the reception of The Mad Mage of Sevendor, a real experiment for me. I expected it to piss off about 10% of my readership (just about every new book does), but the rest understood what I was doing and seemed to enjoy it. It’s the perfect set up for the forthcoming release of Marshal Arcane, Book 15 of the Spellmonger series. And yes, the plot of Marshal Arcane extends beyond the end of The Mad Mage of Sevendor, so there will be new material for you plot-junkies. Finally, I’m hip-deep in preparation for my attendance of the upcoming Baltimore Comic Con next weekend. I’ll be in booth 2006 just to the left of the main entrance and I will have books, posters, and t-shirts available for sale. I will also be doing an off-site meet-and-greet for those who want to see me but don’t want to spring for tickets just to do that. I’m still nailing down the details of this but will be posting them to Facebook, Instagram, and the Discord server as soon as I have them. | |

I do love the Baltimore Comic Con. It’s one of my favorites to do, and I’ve met a ton of my fans there in the past. It’s also where I get some of my better ideas – Gatina for instance was born in Baltimore. I’m not doing any panels at the con this year so I should be around the booth most of the time. If you can manage it, I’d love to see you there. Also, here are the details of the Wizard Hat Giveaway sponsored by Podium!
