Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first in The Wolf Chronicles trilogy, brilliantly weaving together original research, lovable characters and a dynamic, thoroughly engaging plot, Promise of the Wolves is a historical adventure story in the tradition of Clan of the Cave Bear and Watership Down. Set 14,000 years ago in what is now Southern Europe, Promise of the Wolves is told from the point of view of Kaala, a young wolf born of a forbidden, mixed-blood litter. An outcast after her mother is exiled, Kaala struggles to earn her place in her pack. But her world is turned upside down when she rescues a human girl from drowning. Kaala and her young packmates begin hunting and playing with humans—risking expulsion from their pack and banishment from their home in the Wide Valley. When war between humans and wolves threatens, Kaala learns that she is the last in a long line of wolves charged with keeping watch over humans in order to prevent them from losing touch with nature and thus destroying the world. But to do so she must solve the great paradox of wolfkind: though wolves must always be with humans, humans cannot abide the presence of wolves, and every time the two come together, war ensues. Kaala must choose between safety for herself, her friends, and their human companions and the survival of her pack—and perhaps all of wolf and humankind.

Formed and financed by the ruling class of Vampires wishing to expand their covenant into the New World, this peculiar town was established in 1840, and it remained peaceful for over 160 years. Not a single unnatural human death had occurred among the many that were employed there in order to satisfy the Vampire's never ending thirst for blood... welcome to Wolf Creek.Before the inception of this otherworldly place, the Vampires were the hunted in the new America. In desperate need of protection, they reached out to the supernatural creatures of the Native American legends...the shape shifting Lycans. Employed as peace keepers and guardians, the Lycans and Vampires were able to co-exist in harmony and normality, escaping the persecution of the outside world that surrounded them. The human volunteers were compensated generously for their participation, required only to give a weekly donation of blood to the town's Blood Bank. Life was wonderful for all of the town's inhabitants, until 1947 when an ancient Vampire history book was uncovered along with the Dead Sea Scrolls...the Book of Blood. This mysterious book contained a sought-after formula that would allow the Vampires to walk freely in the sunlight... Sunlife. Under the direct orders of the Original Vampire of England, Baron Valvasor, hand selected Vampires would work for decades in futile attempt to decode the secrets lying within the book's pages and bring the Vampire's ultimate dream alive...that is until the day a recruited computer hacker and talented chemist cracked the code, finally producing the coveted potion. With the Book of Blood now decoded, the diabolical plan of the ruling class began to unravel and the Lycans must stop at nothing to prevent them from taking over the world. Will the Lycan's unearthly strength and powers be enough to restore order and balance to Wolf Creek, or will the undead live on to spread their infectious disease to the rest of the unsuspecting world and reign forever?
