The First Official Peregrine Lake Merch is Here!

So just for fun, I decided the most obvious piece of merch for Peregrine Lake — the generic tourist t-shirt. If you ever go to a gas station in a random small town, you’ll definitely see something like this. So why get a generic T-shirt with a real town’s name on it when you can get one with a fake town’s name on it?

Obviously this is available on a T-shirt, but there are a whole bunch of other products too — like totebags, coasters, and mugs.

I honestly just did this because I thought it was fun. No real plan beyond “Oh that would be nice to have for myself.” It’s neat!

‘Bloody Damn Rite’ Is Now Available in Paperback and Kindle eBook!

by Trae Dorn on June 11, 2024 at 9:47 am
Posted In: Uncategorized



Hey everyone, I know I announced it a couple of months ago, but I’m excited to tell you that Bloody Damn Rite, the sequel to my novel The Witch and the Rose, is now on sale on Amazon! You can pick it up in both paperback and Kindle ebook formats (and it’s also available on Kindle Unlimited).

If you liked the first book, I think you’ll enjoy where the series is going. It picks up a year after the events of The Witch and the Rose, and there are vampires in it. I tried to come up with a clever way to work that into this post, but I’m writing this quickly before work this morning so I’m just flat out saying it.

There are vampires in this book.

This installment has a bit more action than the first book, but the tone is the same (and Mia and Riley are still Mia and Riley). And maybe a piece of that past Mia tried to leave behind her in Boston is about to show up in her new life in Parrish Mills.

Go read the book and find out.

(Note: There is a non-Amazon version available with the ISBN 979-8-3302-2037-3, which is identical in every way — just off of a different printer. You can directly order that version too.)

Announcing ‘Bloody Damn Rite’ – the Sequel to ‘The Witch and the Rose’

Book update time! Back in January I published my first (non-graphic) novel, The Witch and the Rose (which you can buy here). I made it pretty clear that it was the first book in a series, and that more books would be coming.

And yeah, it’s time to reveal that next book.

I’m excited to announce Bloody Damn Rite, the sequel to The Witch and the Rose and second book in the Mia Graves series, will come out June 11th on Kindle and paperback. Additionally, you can pre-order the Kindle eBook version of the book right now and it will be available on your devices immediately on June 11th.

So yeah! If you want some queer contemporary fantasy set in, of all places, an Indiana college town… I got two books for you.

There will be more.

(Also, just a reminder that Peregrine Lake is now live too! Go read our awesome webcomic!)

Peregrine Lake is almost here!

One Week.

If you follow me on social media you likely already know this, but I figured I should toss it on the blog for good measure too.

For those unaware, the webcomic Peregrine Lake (written by me and drawn by the talented Ethan Flanagan) will officially launch on April 16th and update every Tuesday at peregrine-lake.com

I promised the follow up to UnCONventional was “coming soon” four years ago. Well, “soon” finally got here.

I know I actually talked about it back in January as arriving this spring, but it’s actually “this spring” now. Frankly, I’m incredibly excited to show you guys what we’ve been working on for the last year, and bringing you the story that I’ve had in my head for so much longer.

As I’ve said, this is a follow up to UnCONventional, but it isn’t required reading. Peregrine Lake takes place ten years after that comic’s end, and only Lynn and Megan carry over from that cast. This is also a very different comic tonally. Peregrine Lake is a “Northwoods Gothic” tale that follows a young woman named Bev as she inherits her late uncle’s house outside of the small town of Peregrine Lake, WI. That’s the short version.

I hope you guys end up liking it as much as I do.

The final comic of UnCONventional may have gone up in 2019, but the final two chapters still weren’t out in print form… until now! That’s right, I’ve finally put out the collected chapters nine and ten in paperback form!

So yes, you can click on over to Amazon right now to pick it up. Has it been four years since this was supposed to come out? Yes. But it’s here now, and that’s what counts. Re-live the pre-Covid con scene! Finally see typo free versions of some of these comics! Read random commentary about what inspired certain storylines and strips!

It’s fun! And remember, Peregrine Lake is coming soon too!
