Grand Prize: Week One

I decided to give away TWO grand prizes! Hey, it's my party, why not? LOL! This Sunday, I'll be drawing for a pearl necklace. Not just any pearl necklace...but a Blacque/Bleu pearl necklace that's EIGHT AND A HALF FEET LONG!!!
These are rice-shaped freshwater pearls from China, each pearl measures about 8 to 9 mm. When this puppy came in the mail today, my sister suggested that we keep it to decorate our Christmas tree this year! LOL! (All of our Christmas decorations were stolen a few months ago)

You can wear it as a necklace, a belt, drape it over your curtains or just set it out for display. These are real pearls and I shudder to think what the retail cost is here in the US. (I have friends in foreign places)

So...keep talking, your comments are your entries. (just don't babble foolishness...I do that enough!)

Werewolves! Anne Kane

Werewolves! Their origin is buried in myth and legend. In this age of instant communications, ipads and remote exploration of Mars we are still fascinated by the thought that they might truly exist and walk unseen amongst us. I have always been an avid fan of the “what-ifs” and werewolves are one of my favorites.

Growing up in Northern Ontario, the eerily haunting cries of the wolf packs could be heard on many a cold winter’s night, and the sound never failed to send sent a pang of longing through me. I could imagine the noble creatures running through the large tracts of untamed forests, wild and free with the crisp snow crunching beneath the pads of their feet.

My fascination started innocently enough as a young child, devouring Jack London’s tales of the gold rush and the dogs and wolves that pulled the sleds. It wasn’t much of a leapt from admiring his animal characters to wishing people could feel the same primal joy as a member of a pack of these noble animals.

When I first started writing fiction, I avoided writing about werewolves. They’d already been so very well done by Patricia Briggs, Kelley Armstrong, Kate Douglas and numerous other authors that I wasn’t sure I come up with a fresh approach. Seducing Destiny was my first attempt, and I enjoyed creating the characters immensely. The setting is my current home ground in the British Columbian Rocky mountains, where wolves are rare sight these days. I hope I did justice to these fascinating mythical creatures!

Jack, the alpha of the Northern Rockies pack, knows Destiny needs some time to come to grips with her werewolf heritage before he springs the whole mated for life thing on her.

Destiny has no intention of buying into the whole pack mentality, howl at the full moon thing. Sure, she practically drools at the sight of red meat, but that's no reason to give up her comfortable life. Besides, she already has a boyfriend, a slick up-and-coming lawyer.

But when a band of rogue werewolves move into the area, Jack can't afford to have his attention divided. He needs to convince Destiny that she belongs both in his pack and in his bed so he can concentrate on the new threat.
