Excerpt:
“This one’s been shot too,” the paramedic shouted out as he rushed into the cell. Kneeling down next to the unconscious figure, he got a good sniff of the man’s scent. “Oh shit! He’s human,” he muttered, as he began to work quickly to stem the flow of blood spurting from the wound in the man’s chest. Pressing down on the spot with one hand, he picked up a small packet with the other, using his teeth to tear it open before pouring the contents of it into the bloody opening and then piling a handful of gauze over it. Placing both hands on the wound, he pressed down hard, hoping the coagulant he used would work on a human.
When the top layer of gauze turned red, the paramedic realized the remedy that usually worked well on shifters wasn’t doing what he’d hoped it would on the human. Lifting his hands, he peeled back the covering and was greeted by a spurt of fresh blood.

Getting desperate, he yelled for his more experienced supervisor. “What the hell is a human doing in a High Council prison anyway?” he muttered to himself.

Replacing the blood-soaked gauze with fresh pads, the paramedic kept pressure on the wound with one hand while searching in his bag for anything that would help slow his patient’s bleeding.
“Mama…mama…don’t go…I’ll be good…”
The human’s voice was so low, the paramedic might never have heard it if not for the acute hearing abilities of his animal. Bending down over the man, he said, “Hey…you’re gonna be all right…can you tell me your name?”
“Don’t go…no…no…”
“I’m not going anywhere. My name is Dale…what’s yours?”
“Dale…”
“That’s right…I’m Dale…what’s your name?”
“Dale…I need…please…hurts.”
“I know it does.” Turning back to his medical bag, he dumped its contents onto the floor, rummaging through the pile until he found what he was looking for. Removing the cap of the needle with his teeth, he plunged it into his patient’s thigh, pushing down on the plunger until the barrel of the syringe was empty.
“There…you’re gonna feel better in a moment,” Dale said, checking the wound once more. But when it continued to ooze, he knew he was losing his patient. Leaning down, he ordered, “Stay with me…you hear me? STAY WITH ME!”

About the Author

A few years ago, I wrote my first book, Dire Warning. Readers loved it and I was on my way to chronicle the Blackwood Pack, seven brothers who are gay wolf shifters in search of their fated mates—stories about love at first sight with twists and turns, angst and humor, romance and adventure and, of course, happy endings. Since then, the pack has expanded, allowing more stories to be told and different paranormals to be included. The series has become, as one reader described it…an “Epic Saga.”
Now, twelve books later, Lord Manetu has just been published. I love the M/M paranormal genre because it gives my imagination a lot of territory in which to roam. My mind can really run wild and come up with some amazing stuff when it doesn’t have to stay inside the box. My story ideas come to me as if they were being channeled by my characters, all of whom I love (except for a few villains). They are eager to recount their lives, loves and adventures, and are not reluctant to let it all out when it comes to revealing steamy details. My writing style is free-wheeling and uninhibited and my readers tell me they love it that way; that it makes them feel like they’re right in on the action and a member of the Blackwood Pack.
I live in the Northeast and love the beautiful change of seasons, my husband, and our quirky calico cat, though not necessarily in that order. I read a lot (good for the mind) and love gardening (good for the soul). And I’m always happy to hear from my readers and can be reached through Facebook, my private Facebook Group, Twitter, Instagram, or my website.
