I cant believe October sped by and I failed to post a blog or two. Now it’s already mid-November. Forgive my tardiness. My writing schedule has been intense and that is where all my concentration has been focused. Sometimes I need to refresh my creative side with other writing projects, or revisit favorite characters of mine. I did that with Cree & Dawn in their new, soon-to-be released, novella, Cree & Dawn and the Wolf…
A thick, creeping fog envelops Cree, Dawn, and his troop of warriors as they make their way home from a weeklong event hosted by a powerful noble under the king’s patronage. The fog itself poses a challenge, but even more unsettling are the howling wolves echoing through the mist.
Before they can find shelter, the dense fog separates Cree and Dawn from his men. Dawn suffers a fall, leaving Cree to desperately search for safety. His search leads them to Clan MacMadadh, the long-thought-extinct Clan of the Wolf.
With the fog refusing to lift and Dawn needing rest, they are forced to stay. As Cree explores the eerie castle, he is warned not to venture into the fog, where wolves prowl dangerously close to the village. The deeper he digs, the more uneasy he becomes, and when he and Dawn discover claw marks embedded in the wooden floors, a terrifying thought takes root—one born of ancient myths… werewolves.
Trapped by the relentless fog and the ever-present howls, Cree faces a dire question… how will they escape and make it home?
Cree will not tolerate being trapped, and he will stop at nothing to protect Dawn—even if it means facing the leader of a wolf pack head-on.
A character in that story, Lord Tiernan, caught my eye and a plot thickened for a novella I have been wanting to write but just couldn’t find the right plot for it. Sexual Appetites of Werewolves, book 2 in my Sexual Appetites of Unearthly Creatures…
Olivia Stanton, a rational and dedicated wildlife biologist, has always trusted science over superstition. So, when Langford Publishing proposes an article titled The Sexual Appetites of Werewolves, she’s unimpressed—until she learns it comes with a weeklong stay at the renowned MacMadadh Wolf Preserve in the Scottish Highlands. A longtime dream of hers, the preserve could hold the key to her career.
Wolves are Olivia’s passion, leaving little room for distractions—especially romantic ones. But meeting Laird Tiernan, the handsome owner of the preserve with an equally intense devotion to wolves, sparks an instant, undeniable attraction that neither can deny. Though determined to ignore it, discussing the intimate myths surrounding werewolves only fuels the chemistry simmering between them.
As a light snowfall transforms into an unexpected snowstorm, Olivia finds herself secluded in Tiernan’s castle. There, he reveals a family secret that shakes her to her core. He claims to be a werewolf—and that all the wolves on his preserve are too. She is caught between disbelief and the unsettling possibility that he may be telling the truth. Either way, her stay at the preserve has become far more complicated than she ever anticipated.
With every passing day, Olivia’s growing bond with Tiernan challenges her sense of logic, opening her to a world she never thought possible. Torn between reason and desire, she faces a choice she never thought she’d have to make… stay rational or take a leap of faith and risk her heart to a werewolf.
Both novellas will be released together so you can go from one book right to the next. Release date is early December.
Next is Pepper, the Biker & the Vanishing Body, book three from my Pepper the Prepper series. Go to Pepper’s blog to learn more about that.
Then comes Intrigued by a Highlander, book two, Highland Revenge Trilogy. Learn more here. This one is scheduled for a March release or sooner if possible.
So, as you can see, I have been busy and will continue to be not to mention the coming holidays and all the festivities.
That’s it for now. Watch for more updates!
Hugs
Donna
