Douglas Lumsden wearer of the finest fedora and legendry indie author has bestowed upon me the greatest honour. The world exclusive cover reveal for his latest book in the Shade the Collector series – Cast a Cold Shadow
Slinking into the footsteps of Claws of the Collector (Book1) and In Deep Coprolite (Book 2), Cast a Cold Shadow finds our favourite liberator of exotic and potentially lethal magical artifacts, Benedict Shade, up to his neck in trouble from both the physical and spiritual worlds. As were-cat of many talents has he finally run out lives…
Let’s hope not. Check out the blurb for Cast a Cold Shadow
Shade vs. Shades
Deadly phantoms stand in the way of Benedict Shade’s quest to “collect” (i.e., “steal”) an exotic magical artifact that could lead him to the fulfillment of his lifelong ambition: locating the prison of the legendary Earthmaker. But ghosts are not Shade’s only problem. A mysterious necromancer would like him to give up his quest. The police would like to frame him for murder. A government witch would like to send him to a labor camp in the frozen North. A dead woman from his checkered past would like to drag him kicking and screaming to her own private underworld. And on top of everything else, Shade’s new girlfriend wants him to give up burglary! It might be more than a shapeshifting were-cat can stand – or survive!
Now without further ado, feast your eyes on the amazing cover (credit – Miblart)
