Mikaela Laughlin discovers a
whole new world, and an entirely new species, when she tours the crime
lab to meet Lieutenant Diarmid Redwolf while researching her next book.
She’s lusted after “Delicious Diarmid” from afar for a long time, but
meeting him sets her body on fire. It doesn’t take long for Mikaela to
discover there’s more to Diarmid than meets the eye.<br />
<br />
Diarmid
has bad guys to catch, but meeting the voluptuous author has him
wanting to catch her instead. His shapeshifter blood recognizes his True
Mate and he wants her in his arms. Now. But with a cold-blooded serial
killer on the loose, Diarmid has one shot at his future and he will not
fail. Because this time, the killer wants Mikaela.<br />

grabbed her garbage along with his and she moved out of the way so he could
close the door. He stopped at the back of the SUV to grab his kit then headed

she had two heads when Diarmid followed her inside. He tossed the garbage
into a trash can, motioning her toward the elevators. Miki sucked down the
last of her shake and threw it away. She glanced around the lobby. Miki had
the impression the cops in view wondered how she was still alive after
whacking him. She raised her brows at one or two of them. They looked away,
pretending they had other business to conduct. She shook her head.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’d like to thank my good
buddy, Francesca Hawley for inviting me to announce my new release on her blog
today! Francesca and I became friends several years ago when we participated in
a writing challenge and had so much fun that we kept the challenge open after the
deadline had passed. We both finished our manuscripts and eventually sold them
but not before agreeing to become critique partners. We butt heads occasionally
but always end up respecting each other’s opinions. I value her friendship, her
advice and our crazy Sunday night phone calls!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-pagination: none;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-pagination: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’m thrilled to begin 2017
with a new release on January 13, from Decadent Publishing. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">His to Protect, </b>is part of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Black Hills Wolves</b> series, and is a
sensual story of courage, strength and the undeniable desire to belong. If you
like your wolf shifters hot and protective and your heroines strong and
determined, this just might be a story you’d enjoy!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS Mincho";">A resentful pack, a
suspicious alpha and a looming threat …</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS Mincho";">After ten long years,
desperation has forced Luna Sinclair back to Los Lobos but nothing in her
experience has prepared her for the heat that Pack Protector, Gunnar Redmond
unleashes. Her wolf is clawing to break free and run straight for the hulking
beast but what wolf in their right mind would want to be tied to her family
tree?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS Mincho";">Not
everyone is happy about welcoming the daughter of one of the old alpha’s
henchmen, home. Old wounds and secrets are exposed and to make matters worse,
Drew Tao, the new alpha has reason to suspect that she might have revealed the
packs most closely guarded secret when she escaped the crazed survivalist that
had been keeping her prisoner. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">None
of that matters to Gunnar. He’s known Luna was his mate since finding her naked
and shivering on pack land and he’ll do anything to keep her. With their wolves
clawing to mate and danger closing in, anyone who wants to hurt her will have
to go through him first.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

Redmond’s blood still raced from his morning run, and the female’s musky scent
hit him doubly hard. The haggard white wolf had been running in a straight line
since she’d hit the perimeter a few minutes ago. Nothing ran that hard unless
something chased it, and he didn’t see or smell anything following her. Too
soon to call a warning for something he could probably handle himself, the pack
protector kept well behind his quarry. The third time she stumbled, his wolf
reached for her, nearly stopping him in his tracks.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
urge to catch her before she fell surprised him. He breathed in her scent once
more, finding her human nature had become much stronger and stank of a fear so
fierce it permeated the crisp autumn air. She’d transformed. The scent grew stronger.
His quarry had stopped, perhaps to get her bearings.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Every
wolf in Los Lobos knew the location of the pack land boundaries.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">She
was obviously lost and confused.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Downwind
and hidden by a small stand of trees, Gunnar crouched on the crest of a small
hill. Naked and filthy, twigs and leaves riddled her tangled mess of dark hair
that reached past her shoulders. Mud streaked her bare arms and legs. Her thin
flanks trembled as she rubbed her hands up and down her arms and looked around.
She might not be very tall, but her obvious curves left no doubt she was all
woman.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">His
wolf whined.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If he waited any longer, his wolf was going to
behave inappropriately. Knocking her down so he could clean her and show his
obvious interest probably wouldn’t win him any points. He stood and unbuttoned
his shirt as he walked down the short incline.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The
wind shifted, and she lifted her nose, turned, and froze. Her dark eyes
widened, and he scented the fear she tried to hide. His size intimidated most,
but her gaze had locked on his fingers, still working his shirt buttons free,
and it occurred to him what the situation must look like.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Nice going, dumbass.</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He
let his arms drop and sighed. “Did you know you were trespassing?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Her
shoulders slumped. She stared at him a moment, and her mouth worked in a silent
effort that seemed to frustrate her. Finally, her words tumbled like so much
static from a radio. “Am I in Los Lobos?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Gunnar
nodded, and a shaky smile quirked one corner of her mouth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“My
name is Luna Sinclair, and I beg sanctuary.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He
stripped off his shirt with a little more force than necessary and handed it to
her before turning to give her some privacy. And so she couldn’t see his face.
“Are you Ed Sinclair’s daughter?” He hadn’t meant to snap.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Yes.”
She delivered the one succinct word in the same brusque tone he’d used. She
didn’t sound happy about relaying the information.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 3.0pt; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: "Book Antiqua"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“The
alpha will want to see you.” He turned around. Why did he and his wolf always
choose the most difficult path to reach any desired destination?</span></div>

“Just wait there while I come around to help you down,” Diarmid ordered. Miki bristled at the tone of command in his voice.<br />
<br />
“I am perfectly capable of getting out of a vehicle myself.”<br />
<br />
“Indulge me.” Diarmid grabbed his garbage, shoving the SUV door open.<br />
<br />
He stalked around the vehicle where Miki waited for him. She didn’t know <em>why</em>
she waited, but she did. He opened her door and lifted her to the
ground. He grabbed her garbage along with his and she moved out of the
way so he could close the door. He stopped at the back of the SUV to
grab his kit then headed for the front entrance. Miki ran to keep up as
he crossed the street. He slowed to accommodate her shorter legs and
from that moment on, she didn’t have to run anymore.<br />
<br />
“Sorry,” he muttered.<br />
<br />
“No problem.” She glanced at his kit. “You weren’t kidding about keeping it stocked were you?”<br />
<br />
“No,
Mikaela, I wasn’t.” Diarmid raised a red-gold brow at her as his lips
twisted into a wicked smile. “I keep my weapon clean and ready for use
whenever it’s needed too. You’re welcome to inspect it at length if
you’d like.”<br />
<br />
Miki blushed a fiery red from his suggestive banter, almost tripping up the stairs as they climbed the steps to the entrance.<br />
<br />
“Yeah.
Um… Right. I’ll take your word for it, Diarmid.” Miki could almost
visualize his weapon ready for use and had to look away when he chuckled
at her as he pulled open the entry door to allow her to precede him.<br />
<br />
“Too bad. I was looking forward to showing it to you.”<br />
<br />
His
gravelly voice sent chills down her spine making her clit throb in
response. Damn him, he was enjoying this. She stopped to slug him in the
shoulder before breezing past him through the doors. His laughter
echoed behind her.<br />
<br />
Half a dozen cops stared at her as if she had
two heads when Diarmid followed her inside. He tossed the garbage into a
trash can, motioning her toward the elevators. Miki sucked down the
last of her shake and threw it away. She glanced around the lobby. Miki
had the impression the cops in view wondered how she was still alive
after whacking him. She raised her brows at one or two of them. They
looked away, pretending they had other business to conduct. She shook
her head.<br />
<br />
“Do they think you’re a god or something?” Miki asked curiously after the elevator doors closed behind them.<br />
<br />
“No, but I do outrank them.”<br />
<br />
“Your
rank wasn’t the reason they looked at me like I’d just taken my life in
my hands by smacking you, though I think you will admit you deserved
it.”<br />
<br />
Miki turned to him. Diarmid pressed the stop button, set his kit on the floor and stalked her into the corner of the elevator.<br />
<br />
“All I did was offer to let you inspect my weapon.”<br />

<br />
Author & iconic actress Carrie Fisher died as a result of the heart attack she suffered last Friday. My sympathies go to her family, friends and her legions of fans - of which I am one.<br />
<br />
Princess Leia proved that a princess in distress may need to be rescued, but she'll grab that blaster right out of your hand and rescue herself if you screw up. She was badass before badass was cool. She was smart, sarcastic and even though she was small - she had a huge presence. And I really think George Lucas gave her all the best lines!<br />
<br />
<br />
"Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope."<br />
"When you came in here didn't you have a plan for getting out?"<br />
"Somebody has to save our skins. Into the garbage chute, fly-boy"<br />
"You needn't worry about your reward. If money is all that you love, then that's what you'll receive." <br />
"Somebody get this walking carpet out of my way."<br />
<br />
Among many others - and Carrie delivered the lines with snark and a dry humor we all loved.<br />

I created a fictitious town in Colorado that is the home to my shapeshifters. Whitewolf, Colorado is a community/pack of slightly over 1000 people, however it is

Redwolf packs, and the Whitehawk and Goldowl aeries.</div>

line of magic users descending from the druids. The wolf packs house mini-towns
of approximately 500 each and each of the aeries also numbers approximately
500.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Whitehawks and Goldowls jointly

<b>Leader of the Pack </b><br />
<br />
Surgeon Dr. Per Goldwolf needs a mate to
make partner in a prestigious practice. Predator-Match.com—a
matchmaking service for shapeshifters—not only finds him a mate, they
match him with his True Mate. Yohana’s long legs and intoxicating scent
makes him hunger for her.<br />
<br />
New packleader Yohana Whitewolf’s life goal is to follow in her sire’s
pawprints and lead her pack. Leadership demands sacrifices. To calm her
people, Yohana needs a mate. But finding an Alpha male who won’t take
over is a tall order. Yohana doesn’t want the complication of a True
Mate, but Per is a sexy, intelligent Alpha male and she wants to shred
his clothes every time she touches him.<br />
<br />
Everything should be perfect—except she’s a packleader, and the Whitewolf pack is nervous.<br />

<b>Rockin Little Christmas </b><br />
<br />
When her parents’ rock band The Pack
performs at Zach’s bar, Mandy discovers her True Mate, Joe Blackwolf,
the band’s lead singer and guitarist. All she has to do now is convince
Joe that she told a little white lie to make her mom happy, her father
that rock musicians aren’t all alike, and her new mate’s family that
rockers aren’t all that different from classical musicians.<br />
<br />
Joe Blackwolf is celebrating his fortieth birthday. And what he wishes
for when he blows out the candles is to find his True Mate. He succeeds
when he meets Mandy Goldwolf. Problem is…he thinks she belongs to
someone else. Finding out the truth leaves him free to explore every
inch of her smokin’ hot curves, but now Joe and Mandy are neck deep in
overbearing relatives and everyone is in for a Rockin’ Little
Christmas.<br />

Alpha female Serena Goldwolf has spent a
lifetime vowing never to be a submissive mate to any Alpha male. But
all it takes is one surprisingly sexual meeting with Damien Blackwolf, a
dissatisfied client of her shapeshifter dating site
Predator-Match.com, and she is aching to be owned by the hottest male
on two legs—or four.<br />
<br />
Damien Blackwolf
doesn’t understand why the voluptuous Serena won’t admit they’re True
Mates. To convince her, he decides to bring out her desires by dragging
her to someplace private to get to know her…intimately. But how can he
convince her of their destiny when she refuses to acknowledge their
connection and runs away from him? <br />
In a passionate battle of wills, there most definitely <i>can</i> be two winners.<br />

<br />
When her parents’ rock band The Pack performs at a local bar, Mandy
discovers her True Mate, Joe Blackwolf, the band’s lead singer and
guitarist. All she has to do now is convince Joe that she told a little
white lie to make her mom happy, her father that rock musicians aren’t
all alike, and her new mate’s family that rockers aren’t all that
different from classical musicians.
<br />
Joe Blackwolf is celebrating his fortieth birthday. And what he
wishes for when he blows out the candles is to find his True Mate. He
succeeds when he meets Mandy Goldwolf. Problem is…he thinks she belongs
to someone else. Finding out the truth leaves him free to explore every
inch of her smokin’ hot curves, but now Joe and Mandy are neck deep in
overbearing relatives and everyone is in for a Rockin’ Little Christmas.<br />

“Am I dead, angel? Cause you look like you’re straight from heaven.”<br />
<br />
“That has to be the worst line I’ve ever heard,” Mandy laughed,
looking up into warm brown eyes. She shivered as he settled into the
chair beside her.<br />
<br />
“Maybe, but it made you laugh.” He took her hand. “Can I buy you a drink?”<br />
<br />
Joe waved over a waiter and ordered for them without once releasing
her hand. She could feel the rough calluses guitar playing had created
on his fingers, but they turned her on. He turned her on.<br />
This was Joe? “Good ole Joe” as Eddie called him. He was neither good
nor old. No. He was gorgeous…and talented. Zach wasn’t kidding when
he’d said this Blackwolf was a great guitarist and singer. For the first
time since Carly bugged her, she wished with all her might she hadn’t
lied about Zach being her mate. Zach might be handsome, but Joe made her
throb in places that hadn’t throbbed in all of her thirty-five years.<br />
<br />
“So what’s with the camera, angel? Fan or reporter?”<br />
<br />
Mandy looked down at her fingers clenched around her camera strap. If
she told him who she was, he’d back off so fast she’d see skid marks on
the floor. Just this once she wanted to pretend she was someone else.
Just tonight. She leaned forward, pressing her lips against his ear.<br />
<br />
“I’m more than a fan. I’m a groupie. Can’t you tell?”<br />
<br />
He shuddered, turning his head he met her gaze. The fire glowing in his eyes set her boiling. Yes. She had to have him. Now.<br />
<br />
“A groupie? For just any rock musician?”<br />
<br />
“No, Joe. I want you.”<br />
<br />
“Fuck, yeah,” he growled, standing so abruptly his chair toppled
over. No one nearby noticed as he dragged her to her feet. “Where?”<br />
<br />
Mandy looked over toward the hallway leading to Zach’s office. They
had a clear path. She pulled him after her and they ducked into the
shadowy space. He pressed her to the wall and took her mouth in a deep
kiss. Their mouths meshed together. Joe pulled back to nip at her lips,
then ran his tongue along the inside edge of her lower lip. She caught
his long dark hair in her fingers, holding his mouth to hers.<br />
<br />
Fire. Heat. She’d never felt anything like this in her entire life.
She moaned as his mouth slid to nuzzle her neck. Mandy wrapped her free
arm around him, clutching his leather jacket. She lifted her right leg
along his hip. He stepped into the opening she’d created, thrusting his
hips against hers.<br />
She shivered as his rough fingers slid under her skirt to cup her
ass. He pulled her more firmly against his hard cock then reached up to
her peasant top, untying the drawstring to bare her bra covered breast.
His hot breath teased her neck and then his warm tongue licked along the
curves of her neck and breasts.<br />
<br />
“Hey. Anyone seen Joe?” Mandy and Joe froze as she heard Eddie’s
voice. He was close. Too close.<br />
She looked in the direction of the
entrance to the hallway. She didn’t see him, but he was right there. She
knew it. Mandy closed her eyes, fighting to keep her panting excitement
from giving them away.<br />
<br />
“I think I saw him with a hot chick earlier. I didn’t get a good look
at her though. Just noticed she was his type,” Tom responded with a
laugh.<br />
<br />
Joe groaned in her ear and kissed her cheek. She turned to look up at
him. He was still on fire—she could see it—but there was a definite
question in his dark eyes. Stop or go?<br />
<br />
She lowered her leg and he sighed, then she smiled and grabbed his hand. “This way,” she whispered.<br />
Mandy knew there was an empty unlocked office back here and she
wanted this wolf and she wanted him now. He chuckled as they moved into
the darkness. She found the door on the right and turned the knob.
Hearing the click, she pushed, wincing at the creak when the door stuck.
He pushed her through and they shut and locked the door behind them.
Mandy flipped the light switch, blinking a bit to adjust to the table
lamps that came on. She’d been expecting an overhead.<br />
<br />
Joe pulled her over to the empty desk and she climbed up onto it. He stroked her cheek. “You’re sure?”<br />
<br />
“Yes. I don’t want to stop. Not now.”<br />

Rights returned!!Hi all. This is Francesca Hawley. I've been quiet for a while and part of the reason for that was that I've been waiting for the rights to my books to revert to me so I had control over my works again.<br />
<br />
Some of you may have noticed that when I had Rae Monet redesign my web site, we left my EC titles off the Books page. There was a reason for that. The last royalties I was paid for by Ellora's Cave was for June 2015. It's not that I was making a lot of money anyway. I wasn't, but it is the principle of the thing. For years they had faithfully paid me SOMETHING every single month. But then the checks stopped and I had no recourse. That's well over a year of being paid no royalties.<br />
<br />
This was especially upsetting to me because I'd always felt I had a good working relationship with the staff and owners of EC. I couldn't understand why this was happening. <br />
<br />
Although, I received no money, I wasn't given the rights to my books back either because I was told that my books sold over the minimum amount so my rights weren't returned to me.<br />
<br />
Please note - this is solely MY experience. I make no claims about EC's business dealings with any other author. <br />
<br />
I took those titles off my new web site because I wanted my sales to drop enough that my rights would revert to me. That was beginning to work, but they still had two of my books - Alpha vs. Alpha and Cupid Rocks - and there seemed to be no end in site.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbiDM-0g6rkuQQE-EX7xAXUnwK57_D5EvIissynhe0qUIkxwGSiqJd5DtGEFJ14dJDHW5vVfPnA-axIdlbaODnQcOdLgZxymT1If4lb0VwSQXXMjGsDVgQ-XaNCntezEGdKnmus_BcMqKw/s1600/alpha+vs+alpha+high+res.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbiDM-0g6rkuQQE-EX7xAXUnwK57_D5EvIissynhe0qUIkxwGSiqJd5DtGEFJ14dJDHW5vVfPnA-axIdlbaODnQcOdLgZxymT1If4lb0VwSQXXMjGsDVgQ-XaNCntezEGdKnmus_BcMqKw/s400/alpha+vs+alpha+high+res.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
AvA is the first book in a series and I wanted it back, so I contacted EC to arrange a buy back. I'm especially happy about this because Ellora's Cave recently announced they will be closing their doors at the end of the year. Because of the buy back, I'm out well ahead of that time. I admit, I'm not thrilled that I had to pay to get my stuff back, but I'm incredibly relieved that we were able to come to an agreement. I can't go into details about the deal itself, but I can live with what I agreed to.<br />
<br />
As of October 10, 2016, Alpha vs. Alpha and Cupid Rocks officially reverted back to me. That's all of my books. Finally. I'm making my shapeshifter books available to my readers again. I'm editing the books, arranging to get new covers made (by the fabulous, multi-talented <a href="http://www.wickedsmartdesigns.com/" target="_blank">Dar Albert of Wicked Smart designs</a>), and putting them online for sale again.<br />
<br />
Alpha vs. Alpha has been released and Dar is already at work on additional covers. Cupid Rocks is returning to its original concept as a Christmas release. The title will be Rockin' Little Christmas and is currently on preorder. Leader of the Pack will be available in December 2016 and in January or February, I'll rerelease Protect and Defend.<br />
<br />
Is it all just rereleases? Nope. I'm going to be working on new stories as well. I've had several stories that I started but didn't finish them because I didn't want them to drive sales to my back list. NOW - I'm ready to move forward again. I'm super excited.<br />
<br />
Do you have a favorite character from my shapeshifter books who you think deserves his/her own story? If so, let me know. I want to write stories to make my readers happy!!<br />

My favorite "scenes" were with the two girls. Interesting mix of sex and horror. The guy scenes were just blood and yuk. But keep in mind this film is from 1988.<br />

Serena Goldwolf’s head shot up at the irate shout coming
from the outer office of her shapeshifter matchmaking business,
Predator-Match.com. She brushed her bangs off her forehead with a sigh. Damn
it, couldn’t <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">anyone</i> in this office
take care of stuff without her intervention?<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The male voice continued to roar out there, and she knew her
secretary wouldn’t be able to handle him because Kara was such an omega even
omega males dominated her. Serena sighed again, saved her database update and
headed out to confront the wolf male jerk. Serena took in the male outrage with
a shake of her head. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Asshole.</i> He
shook his head as if he’d heard her. Yeah right. She wished.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m sorry, sir. Really.” Kara huddled in her chair, her
head dipped and her eyes on her desktop. Submission in her posture and her
voice.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“You people set me up with some stalker bitch! I want to
talk to one of the owners, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">now.</i>” A
tall black-haired man with dark-brown eyes leaned on the desk, his large hands
flat on the wood.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Serena took him in, her body responding immediately. Damn
it. She didn’t need this shit, but she couldn’t take her eyes off him. He wore
a very expensive, black Italian suit, Italian black leather loafers, a crisp
white shirt and red tie. The ultimate in power wear for the busy executive. And
he was so good-looking he resembled an escapee from Fashion Week. She shook her
head to remind herself that he wasn’t <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">all
that</i>…he was just a wolf like any other.</div>
