This week’s six is another snippet from my Shifter Town Enforcement novella, Pale Moon Cry. It’s a paranormal romance with a bit of suspense to it. A bit of background about this snippet. Mora/Mo and Cade are divorced, this is the first time they’ve seen each other in awhile. Obviously the have some issues that still linger…one of them being the neighborhood she lives and works in and Cade being the shifter equivalent of a cop. (And ‘Smoke’ is Mo’s pet gremlin).
Smoke still slumbered on the desk, most likely where he’d stay for the night, and so Cade headed up the stairs into the apartment above. The shower was still running, the radio blaring from inside the bathroom, and Cade had to close his eyes on the familiar curl of anger in his gut. She lived here. Less than a block from where they’d had to shoot a drugged out sixteen-year-old boy. Less than two blocks from the riot they’d had a few months back.
And she showered with the radio on, the door to her apartment unlocked.

Both books in my Shifter Town Enforcement series feature alpha males (in Hounded that means you get two of them). I’m a huge fan of those strong, dominant, confident men. Now, I’m not saying the kinds that sometimes pop up into fiction where they’re so arrogant you might as well dump them down a well just to see if they can claw their way out of it… To me, an alpha is secure in his masculinity, he’s confident, might even be a bit arrogant (but he doesn’t have to be demeaning or belittling), protective, and strong (physically, mentally, and emotionally). Oh, sure, he can be the tortured hero but as a reader, you know he’s going to make it out of everything okay.
I think part of my fascination with alpha males…is that my main female characters also tend to be pretty darn alpha. A ‘weaker’ man would have been bowled over by Ollie’s determination in Cry Sanctuary. Not as confident men would have really taken a back seat to Lennox when she was the one in control. My women appreciate the help, like having someone at their backs that they can trust, and definitely need men that are going to stand up to them and not let them bust their balls…too much.
And if you’re curious after that to read about one of these men, I’m offering up a free copy of Cry Sanctuary, Shifter Town Enforcement #2 to one lucky commenter below (points down for details).

I’m currently working away on Cold Mercy, the first in my Northern Wolves trilogy coming to you guys soon, and decided to give you all a quick peek:
A branch snapped behind her and the rush of fear through her left her bone cold. She could hear the harsh whuff of animal breathing behind her, the undercurrent of a nasty growl. Smuggler whined and thrashed on the leash, yanking free, and Eden lunged for her sled.
One hand closed over the canister of bear spray she always packed, just in case, when a mammoth paw knocked her sideways and sent her spinning. The fabric of her coat ripped easily under the violent slash of claws. Eden staggered, the canister still gripped in her hand, and she tried to keep her feet solidly underneath her, catching herself before she hit the ground. Pain lanced up her side, burning, white-hot as if fire seared over her skin where the animal had struck her.
Had to be a bear. She lifted her hand, fully intending to take aim, and came face to face with the biggest wolf she’d ever seen. Heart lodged in her throat, she froze, unable to breath. Eyes so dark they were nearly black, no pupil at all, stared out at her. Evil eyes, some niggling, frenzied part of her brain insisted. Demon eyes.
In other news… I’ll have the cover art and blurbs for this and Pale Moon Cry (A Shifter Town Enforcement novella) to reveal soon!
