You may have heard me tell of a time, long, long ago, when The Turning was a book called Blood Ties, and was a paranormal romance that ended with Carrie and Nathan (paralyzed and in a wheelchair) driving off to Las Vegas to get married. The second book in the series was to be titled Penance, Ohio, and it would be about what happened when Max was accidentally trapped in a small Ohio town that was under a curse.

Yup. Without the careful edits of one Ms. Shannon Godwin, my original editor at Harlequin, I would have missed out on\u2013 and you would have missed out on\u2013 the entire Blood Ties series and<\/i> American Vampire. I wouldn’t have written about Bella, or Bill. Or Graf, for that matter.<\/p>\n

The same weird turn of events happened when I beganwriting my latest book. This one really is<\/i> meant to be a historical romance. But when I started it out, Aurelia was in a coach, on her way to meet her new husband Raf, a werewolf and lord of a castle full of his fellow werewolves. For days, I tried to write that book, and every word was a chore. Then, I realized what the problem was. Aurelia wasn’t supposed to meet Raf at the castle and fall in love with him. She was supposed to have an adventure with him, and fall in love with him that way. And Raf wasn’t the lord of the castle, he was a disinherited son of a lord. Oh, and he’s only got one leg.<\/p>\n

So, you see, then, how in the process of writing one book, you end up with a completely different one.<\/p>\n

BRIDE OF THE WOLF comes out on Wednesday from Resplendence Publishing<\/a>. It’s a book I’m really proud of, and I can’t wait to share it with all of you.<\/p>\n

Commanded to marry the son of Lord Canis, a powerful ally of her father and King Edward, Aurelia knows she is about to venture into a den of wolves. For the men who live at Blackens Gate are no ordinary men, able to change at will into enormous, bloodthirsty beasts… and as a mere human, Aurelia is a reviled outsider.<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

When the wolves escorting his brother\u2019s bride to Blackens Gate turn on her, Sir Raf Canis finds himself in the unlikely position of rescuer. After losing his leg\u2013 and his place in the pack\u2013 Raf refuses to bring himself further shame by failing to deliver the lovely Aureilia. But the innocent maiden proves to be a temptation even he cannot resist.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Within the dark, dangerous forest, a love begins that neither can deny. To protect Aurelia, Raf must betray everything he has come to believe about his life among wolves, and risk death to save the only woman ever to touch his wounded soul.<\/i><\/p>\n
