Thank you for allowing me to post on the blog today! I am
super excited to be able to share a little of my experiences and some
information about my latest release Bear Claw.
When I first got the idea of the Shifter Chronicles series, I was
excited to be able to write a novel length book about the different species of
shifters.
After creating the setting and background for the book it
was time to concentrate on the characters. I love writing books with paranormal
elements.
Meet Jamie Ward the newest addition of the shifter
Coalition. Jamie is a black bear shifter who is determined to do his job while
protecting his friends and those who cannot protect themselves.
Jamie might look rough and tough on the outside with his
biker clothes and tattoos but inside his heart is made of gold. All he wants is
to find the one person that completes him. But that’s not easy. He spends all
his time in his new political position and is only able to break away to visit
the local library.
This brings us to our heroine of Bear Claw. Brandy Brooks is a
mild mannered quiet woman who just wants to lose herself in books. When not
reading or finding great stories for other people, she’s behind a computer
penning her own erotic romance. Secretly she is a bestselling author who has to
keep her identity hidden due to her family’s political ties.
Throwing these two together is explosive and heats up the
pages. With Jamie working a missing person case and Brandy protesting the
rights of shifters with her cousin these two strong people will take on the
world and together they will win.
While of course Jamie and Brandy are the most important
characters that were featured in Bear Claw we can’t forget about
their friends and enemies.
Because we have to have our supporting cast!
With Bear Claw being the second book
in the Shifter Chronicles series we actually met Jamie in book one Birds of Prey. Cody and Aubrey from book one appear in Bear Claw since they are two of
Jamie’s best friends. But there is another character that appears in both books,
Zak Lewis, the tiger shifter that needs his own story.
This group making up the core group of the characters will help keep the series running. However, we still need our bad guys!
The humans want to make every shifter register so they can keep track of all the paranormals. One group of shifters chooses to take matters into their own hands and fight back illegally, not caring whom they hurt.
The first faction in this group are using kids, like the
missing teen Jamie is looking for, to do their dirty work. One teenager has
already been put in a coma and Jamie has to race against time to save the
others.
Building up these background shifters gave me an opportunity
to play around with different personalities and traits. Our good guys can be
bad but only to a certain point. Our bad guys can be as evil as our
imaginations allow.
Put all of these groups together and we have one heck of a
cast!
You can get a peek into the lives of everyone I’ve
mentioned. With the release of my latest novel , Bear Claw it’s a great time to gain a few friends.
Once again thanks for letting me spend this time with you
and I hope you’ll give Bear Claw a try soon!

sometimes you just trust your instincts.
Jamie Ward is the leader of the Bear Unit for the
Shifter Coalition. He uses his big, tough biker appearance to intimidate his
suspects. It works for him, except in finding a mate.
A recent resident of Lake Worth, Arizona, Jamie finds
himself at the local library where he meets the woman who might just be worth
risking everything for, including his heart. If only he could get up the nerve
to ask her out.
Brandy Brooks has a secret. She writes erotic romance
mysteries under a pen name. Hiding her identity is second nature to her and she
enjoys living in the shadows—until a sexy biker starts visiting her place of
employment. For once in her life, she wishes to be seen. But Jamie doesn’t
appear interested.
The two navigate carefully through the beginnings of
a relationship that is interrupted by Jamie’s missing person cases and the
threat of war between humans and shifters. They must work together to keep each
another safe when their night out literally explodes around them.
