Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All he wants is to be left alone. All they want is a leader to hold them together. For decades, a pack of wild wolves has stood between the small village of Millhall and outside threats. What the villagers don’t know is that the howling entities protecting them are actually their next-door neighbors. Well, except for Fang, who would rather spend his time in wolf form than human. After all, why mingle with people when you can run alone, four paws solidly on the ground? It really is a shame the other Changers chose him as their leader, foiling his plan to spend the rest of his years in happy isolation. But when a village youth is injured and Fang stumbles into the heart of one of the Shaqui tribes living in the surrounding woods, he realizes his plan to live alone may need to be put on hold…at least long enough to stop an impending war. As the Changers try to untangle what, exactly, is behind the rising tension between Millhall’s villagers and the Shaqui tribes, Fang’s past explodes in his face in a way he’d never in his wildest dreams anticipated. Should he run—again? Or should he trust the team he’s worked so hard to keep at bay—a team that doesn’t care much for him, either… Check out the other books in the Shapestepper Series!: (#1) Dark Wolf (#2) Gray Blizzard (#3) Lost Pup

Book excerpt: A new 100th anniversary edition of the only adult book on one of the odder disasters in US history—and the greed, disregard for poor immigrants, and lack of safety standards that led to it. Around noon on January 15, 1919, a group of firefighters were playing cards in Boston’s North End when they heard a tremendous crash. It was like roaring surf, one of them said later. Like a runaway two-horse team smashing through a fence, said another. A third firefighter jumped up from his chair to look out a window—“Oh my God!” he shouted to the other men, “Run!” A 50-foot-tall steel tank filled with 2.3 million gallons of molasses had just collapsed on Boston’s waterfront, disgorging its contents as a 15-foot-high wave of molasses that at its outset traveled at 35 miles an hour. It demolished wooden homes, even the brick fire station. The number of dead wasn’t known for days. It would be years before a landmark court battle determined who was responsible for the disaster.
