I am so happy to share the official cover art, created by Reese Dante, of The Engineer (Magic & Steam: Book One).
Release is March, 2020. You can add the title to your Goodreads shelf and stay updated on when the pre-order goes live this spring!
Blurb: 1881—Special Agent Gillian Hamilton is a magic caster with the Federal Bureau of Magic and Steam. He’s sent to Shallow Grave, Arizona to arrest a madman engineer known as Tinkerer, who’s responsible for blowing up half of Baltimore. Gillian has handled some of the worst criminals in the Bureau’s history, so this assignment shouldn’t be a problem. But even he’s taken aback by a run-in with the country’s most infamous outlaw, Gunner the Deadly.
Gunner is also stalking Shallow Grave in search of Tinkerer—as the engineer stops at nothing to take control of the town’s silver mines. Neither Gillian nor Gunner are willing to let Tinkerer hurt more innocent people, so they agree to a very temporary partnership.
If facing illegal magic, Gatling gun contraptions, and a wild engineer in America’s frontier wasn’t enough trouble for a city boy, Gillian must also come to terms with the reality that he’s rather fond of his partner. But even if they live through this adventure, Gillian fears there’s no chance for love between a special agent and outlaw.
(Newly rewritten and expanded. Based off the original short story, Gunner the Deadly, previously published in the Once Upon a Time in the Weird West anthology.)
Oh, I so love the blurb! I think I'm going to like this book A LOT :P
