My publishers have produced a limited edition hardback print of "Under Dark Skies". One hundred were produced. There will be no more and they will be available for purchase Wednesday this week on Amazon. Two weeks before the novel is released in both paperback and digital forms. Collectors editions. I am told. I have received a copy already and they definitely look good.
A limited first edition print. 
If you purchase one I wish to thank you in advance.

The Pale Shadow

A classic Gothic ghost story with an abominable twist.
Following a road never trodden, an accidental slip on an ancient Scot's cairn releases a shadow, a wraith that once lived and wishes to once more. All it has to do is convince someone to take its place beneath the cairn. There are few to choose from. One will be entombed forever.

"Wonderfully unsettling and Creepy". Marsha Lowndes. Ironbound Magazine.
"Spellbinding" Lucy Hough. Guardian Fiction.
"Creepy, clever and an easy read. Loved it". Lucy Beauchamp. Wondrous Tales.
"A seductive read, insidious. Dark and delicious". Marie lyocell. Lyocell publishing.

"Whilst I love the light, the sun and a blue sea, I see the beauty in a roiling thundrous sky, the grey darkness of the Atlantic and the impending doom of winter. "All bring thier comforts to me".
