Joy to the World

Can you give me one good reason for not reading my friend Joy's Blog? The diatribe on catching her son with a bottle of rum is more than reason enough. Her first novel, Rose's Kiss, was a fun historical romance with enough manly combat to keep your testosterone intact and its follow up, the Compass Rose should be along soon. I, for one, am looking forward to it.

And you should be looking forward to our collaborative effort, Wolves of Wintered Night... a foray into the Paranormal Romance genre that we hope will turn a few heads. What's that? You want a sneak peek? Oh, alright, but just a little one:

On a frozen pass in the Russian wilderness, Faye Ayers and her tiny cherub-like daughter were alone. Encircled, she waited as the wolves crept in, slowly, methodically… their purpose clear. Strings of sinew hung from their maws and blood dripped crimson upon the virginal snow of the mountain trail-way. She closed her eyes and resigned herself to her fate. Her lips touched her baby’s forehead tenderly, but with the quiver of fear, dread, and heartbreak most evident.

“I’m so sorry, baby doll,” she whispered, kissing the child for the final time.

The wolves descended upon them and Faye Ayers’ screams were lost among the savage growls of the pack’s assault.

There, I told you...

We hope that you'll be reading the adventures of Shelby Lynn Ayers in the very near future.
