I love shifter stories Fern! Your character seems to not be adusting well to his new condition. Does he have any control over his actions when he's a wolf? And how gory is your story.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new release. It sounds like a great shifter story.

Great twist on a shifter tale. How did the story come to you? How many books do you see for this series?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the book and I'll be checking it out. Sounds like they really should be read in order, right?
Sorry I missed the party (no internet yesterday). But I wanted to chime in to let you know I loved WILD EVOLUTION and am looking forward to the second book.
ReplyDeleteIn book II, Dan and Angela get married. But there is trouble ahead and Dan loses his dream venture and has a problem adjusting to the loss.
ReplyDeleteIn the third book a new lead role will develop, you'll be able to see this at the end of of book II. I don't want to give to much away about the book but there is a least a third book planned for this series, at this time I working on this and plan to have the release of the third book of the Wild Series this fall, it will be titled 'Wild Legacy'.
Good Luck Virginia. I hope you win, if you don't the price for Wild Evolution on Smashwords is only $1.99.
ReplyDeletes7anna, my on my blog at Good Reads I wrote about my inspiration to the story. When I was a deputy in Grand County Colorado it use to bother me that most ranchers would like anything that crossed their property they did not like.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to write a story about a rancher that shared his land with all creatures in including the wolf.
This turned into a werewolf (skin-walker style) story. The hardest part of the story was the beginning, after that everything fell into line.
My favorite skin-walker author is Tony Hillerman, I love all of his books. One my favorites paranormal was the 'Shadow Killer'. Right now I am reading 'Beautiful Creatures', I am sure that will turn out to be one of my favorites too, it really is well written.
Karen, this event is something he hadn't planned for. We all have things that have happened to us that were out of our control and affected our lives dramatically. Sometimes this is a hard thing to come to grips with.
ReplyDeleteHe does have control in his werewolf form, but sometimes he lets his emotions over rule his good judgement.
I think the story is moderate when it comes to gore, please read the review from Monster Librarian to tell you the gore factor.
Ina, the cover was a collaboration between my husband and me. Thanks

ReplyDeleteAndrea, I really wish I could be a shifter, I really, really wish it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracey, I have gotten some great reviews for the first release, you can see them all at Good Reads
ReplyDeleteLauri Jo, the shifter part came about when I was doing research on werewolf folklore. There is a lot of werewolf folklore, I only touched the surface in my blog on Good Reads.
ReplyDeleteI also like the fact about the skin walker is a Native American twist since my grandfather was from the Blackfoot tribe, there is no skin walker lore in the Blackfoot folklore though.
Thanks Marybelle, I hope you get to read past the excerpt part.
ReplyDeleteI missed it too, I still have a real job whether I like it or not.
ReplyDeleteI hope people check back to see my answers to their questions.
Good luck to all.
