Book excerpt: Can there be a third way? There exists a set of myths and prophesies known as the Wolf's Codex — the Okami Kōdekkusu, probably the only written history of the shifter species. It comes from the before times, it's said. Lost for millennia, maybe more, most people dismiss it as a myth itself. But some things are known. In an oral culture like the shifters, stories have been passed down from storyteller to storyteller. The Codex is supposed to have predicted a third way to come for shifters. First way — Shifter warlords led troops of shifters into battle for land and resources. Women of power were forced to serve, channeling their power at the warlord's command. Second way —In current times, power resides with the Alpha, and a Council of Alphas mediates disputes without warfare, making the top Alphas very powerful indeed with no one to check their abuses. And the third way. No one knows what is meant by that — neither those who fear it and are willing to destroy the Hat Island pack to stop it, nor those who want to see it come. But they all seem to think Abby Stafford might be the one to lead them there. The Okami Kōdekkusu may have some answers. And now, one man might know where it is. The race is on.

Book excerpt: She Has No One Else to Turn to Kate Fairchild was waiting in the conference room of the Seattle Examiner when Mac Davis got off deadline. Well, she probably wasn't Fairchild anymore, Mac thought. She'd gotten married, and she was the type of woman who would take her husband's name. Kate was tense, upset about something, nervously twisting her hands together. She'd once been taken hostage by a deranged gunman and never lost her serene poise. He grimaced. It must be bad for her to come here. "Kate?" he asked. "What's wrong?" "I need your help," she said simply, and she slid a snapshot across the table to him. It was an old photo, taken with a cheap camera, Mac thought, as he looked at it curiously. The photo was of a tall white man, with his arm around a woman — Asian, maybe Cambodian, maybe Vietnamese. A young girl stood in front of them. Their daughter, he guessed. He looked at Kate, and raised his eyebrow. "The girl in the photo came to see me at U-Dub," she said. "She gave me the photo, and said she needs my help." Mac frowned. "I'm not tracking." "That's my father, Mac," Kate said. "Does he look dead to you?" Mac looked back at the photo. No, he conceded, he didn't look dead to him. Book 6 in in the Mac Davis thriller series features a Marine turned cop reporter in Seattle.

Book excerpt: Some Things Haunt You Forever There is trouble in the Okanogan. Benny and Ryder Garrison grew up there, a part of their father's shifter pack. But their father has disappeared, and the pack has slowly disintegrated — and it wasn't the most stable of packs to begin with. The neighboring Penticton pack in British Columbia is causing problems — again — and the Penticton Alpha is thought to be a part of the pipeline that allowed Vancouver to amass a young shifter army. That fell apart when Hat Island Alpha Abby Stafford killed the Vancouver Alpha, but there are still all those young shifters, just waiting for a leader. The whole region is about to go up in flames — just days before the big meeting of the World Council of Alphas in Seattle. Fix it, Abby ordered. And really, Benny and Ryder are the only two who probably can. Interlopers to the region aren't welcomed in the best of times. When Jessie Nickerson insists she's coming along because there's a rumor her missing fiancé might be up there, the brothers barely muster a protest. The region's mess might be easier to face than their own demons, however — Ryder with nightmares of the Iraq war, Jessie with her search for her missing fiancé, and Benny with his fears of the Hat Island pack has done.

Book excerpt: They Were Promised A Home Beta wolves. Powerful, dominant wolves banished by their birth packs because they were a threat to their pack Alphas. Cast out as lone wolves, they drifted, solitary yet belonging to a species that yearned to belong. Some found a place in the military. Some found other places. But there was always the danger of the first rule — do nothing that reveals shifters to humans. Betas who did, found an enforcer on their doorstep. And then, a pack rose up on Hat Island, home to Yui Ito, and her mate Okami Yoshida. The pack there had been killed off during World War II, all but Yui. For 80 years there had been no pack on Hat Island. And now there was. A female Alpha had called a pack into being. And the word came. Yui was calling the betas home. They were owed. There was a pack that would accept them — if they wanted one. There was nothing a beta wanted more than that — to belong to a pack, to know that there were people who had your back. Nothing. Come to Wolf Harbor, a paranormal suspense series, featuring strong women, sexy men, and wolves.
