MEET VALERIE STEVENS. SHE KICKS THE @#$% OUT OF EVIL. "I fell into this job quite by accident, when I discovered that I possessed the ability to see the preternatural world. There are a handful of people with similar abilities, and part of my job is to locate them, since Government Services and Infrastructure Canada likes to keep track of these things. Don't ask me why." There's a malevolent force in town, and it's quite literally Valerie Stevens' job to determine who's behind it and why they want to destroy the city of Calgary. She'll have help, in the form of her best friend (now more or less a zombie, unfortunately), a powerful dwarf troll, and the ghost of former Prime Minister ( he goes by 'Bill' these days). But that's not all - Valerie has some tricks up her sleeve and, she hopes, luck on her side. Oh, and her boyfriend, Dave. He drives a dump truck. Author's Note: This is a reprint of my 2010 Snowbooks title. Shade Fright was the first in what I'd hoped to be a kick butt series, but I only managed two books. It's got a special place in my heart because though it might be info-dumpy at times and while there might be a few editing nits, it's still the first book I ever got published. Now that it's out of print and I have my rights back to the series, it's here, warts and all for you to enjoy, and who knows? There's probably another adventure for Valerie, Caroline and Fifty Dollar Bill waiting to be written at some point. SC
