Shapeshifters,
Werewolves and Changelings, oh my!
My new PNR series is about the Macleod family and their
friends. Long-lived and able to become wolves at will, they call themselves Changelings. Almost two centuries ago,
they were forced to flee the wolf exterminations in Scotland and start a new
life in the wilderness of northern Canada.
Today, that wilderness has been largely settled, and an
entire community has sprung up around the Changelings. The Macleods and their
pack live as humans most of the time, hiding in plain sight. But there’s just
enough unspoiled forest left for them to joyfully run as wolves whenever they
please. They seem to have the best of both worlds – but there are still dangers
lurking for their kind. And love, when it arrives, brings dangers and
complications of its own.
The two highest laws in the Changeling world are never harm a human and never turn a human against their will. The wolf within, however, has its own primal rules. If a Changeling’s life is
in danger, the wolf will emerge to defend it. It will also rise, unbidden, to
defend a mate at all costs. And Changelings mate for life.
ChangelingMoon and Changeling Dream came out in May and
June of 2011 and the reviews have been wonderful. Changeling Dawn was just
released. Again, the reviews have been great. I’m very excited about this third
book – I feel that it’s the best yet and I’m so glad I can finally share it
with my readers!

BLURB
& EXCERPT FROM CHANGELING DAWN:
Kenzie
Macleod has spent her whole life hiding what she is, and she’s not about to
open up to any man, even one as powerfully attractive as wildlife expert Josh
Talarkoteen. But legend says that a Changeling cannot escape the call of her
true mate, even in the wilderness of backcountry Alaska.
An
isolated archeological site, a terrified Changeling cub, a secretive research
center -- as Kenzie and Josh face the ultimate betrayal, his obsidian eyes
promise untold pleasure and hint at dark secrets of his own.

“Wait a minute, you’re
Canadian?” she asked.
“It’s a long story. I’ll
tell you about it when we go out for dinner. Would you prefer bowling or
dancing afterwards?” It was satisfying to see her control wobble as she steered
the truck to the shoulder.
“Jeez, do you feel sorry
for me or something? I’m not going out with you, no matter what country you’re from.”
“Naw-aw, I made the
offer before I heard how concerned
your family was, so it’s hardly a pity date. How about giving me your phone
number?”
“No,” she said and
brought the truck to a jerky stop.
He shrugged, and
produced a dog-eared business card with the Fish and Game logo from his shirt
pocket. “I’ll give you mine then. If you have any trouble with bears, give me a
call. There’s a lot of big griz up there, all gathered to catch salmon at this
time of year, and they can be a problem when you’re camping.” He waited a
second, then added. “It’s my job.”
He didn’t think she’d
take it, but at last she plucked the card from his fingers and stuffed it in
her own shirt pocket – which he couldn’t help but notice was tantalizing
rounded and the button had to be directly over her…
“Thanks, I’ll keep that
in mind,” she said without conviction. Damned if her bottom lip didn’t look
just a little bit sulky too. He was torn between wanting to kiss it and wanting
to laugh. Since either choice would likely be harmful to his health, however,
he opted to get out of the truck. “Wait.” He leaned back in the window. “Be
sure to leave the Richardson Highway or you’ll end up in Fairbanks. Take the
Tok Cutoff and you’ll come right to Chistochina.”
She saluted him and Josh
walked back to get his tire. He thumped on the canopy after he put the tailgate
back up and watched the pickup drive away until he couldn’t see it anymore. It
was the fourth of July today and he could swear that there were fireworks going
off in his bloodstream, thanks to Kenzie Macleod. And her initial outburst had
been downright endearing rather than irritating. Why would that be? And why
would the woman who just turned him down be miles more attractive to him than
that cute redheaded waitress at The
Caribou? Could it be those big gray eyes that arrested him? Or maybe it was
her long, long legs.
Or maybe it was the
bright blue aura that surrounded her. She probably didn’t know she even had it,
never mind that he could see it. And Josh would bet money that she had no idea
what it had revealed to him.
