Werewolves & Witches & Vampires...oh my!

Nothing is quite so fun for me as the evolution of a series. It doesn’t matter if I’m reading it or writing it—though I won’t lie…most of the time I’m reading it because I am a sucker for a series!—nothing is as interesting as watching it grow over time.

A year ago I was on this blog nervously cheering over the release of the very first book my writing partner and I sold to Samhain: Cry Sanctuary, a little tale about werewolves hiding away in the woods where no one else could find them. Back then it was all about the werewolves, and though we knew there were wizards and witches and, yes, even vampires, they weren’t important to the story. The werewolves mattered, and in some cases even the werewolves didn’t know what lay beyond their quiet little world.

Then came the next book in the series, Sanctuary Lost, and with that book came the first intrusion into the werewolves’ ordered life. An apprentice witch upset the balance of their tiny little world, and let me tell you, being the instrument of change isn’t always comfortable!

That’s why I’m so happy today to be celebrating the release of the third book in the series today, and the first book with a protagonist who isn’t a werewolf. Sasha Wallace is a witch in a werewolf world, but she isn’t going to let that stop her. In Sanctuary’s Price she not only overcomes prejudice and hardship to find love with that special werewolf fellow, but they both go on a cross-country adventure that throws another wrench into the works: the series’ first vampire!

I think the warning on Sanctuary’s Price says it best, so I’ll leave you with that and let you decide if a Werewolf, a witch and a vampire might make your Halloween season a little more bewitching!
