Guest Post - Jill James - Dangerous Shift


Hi, I love getting a chance to talk about my latest release, Dangerous Shift. Writers talk about the ‘book of their heart’ and if I had one it would be Dangerous Shift.

I love reading paranormal romance and Shapeshifter romances. But, I wanted to write something a little different. I wrote Dangerous Shift in 2007. It wrote itself. 75,000 words in under a month. 

Then I spent 5 years submitting it out to agents and publishers. When I received the latest rejection letter with ‘your writing is strong and fresh but can you change everything about the story’ I knew it was time to self-publish. I had a contemporary romance out with The Wild Rose Press and a series of novellas I’d been putting out since the end of last year and into this one. But, I knew I was ready to self-publish a full-length novel so I could do print on demand as well.

I love this story of shapeshifters in law enforcement racing to stop a virus that could end their species, while still managing to fall in love. I hope readers will too.

Book Description:

HE IS MR. BY-THE-BOOK, WITH A SECRET...

Shapeshifters live among us but remain unknown to most people except for the highest echelons of law enforcement, the military, science, and medical fields—until now.

SHE IS A LOOSE CANNON WITH AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM...

When a fatal virus strikes Shapeshifters all over the West coast, including members of the Shapeshifter Task Force in San Laura, California, reinforcements are called in from around the United States.

TOGETHER, THEY JUST MIGHT CATCH A KILLER

Lt. Nikki Hill of Missouri comes to San Laura and is partnered up with Lt. Sean Evans. They quickly butt heads on everything from proper police procedures to the moral ethics of euthanasia. They can’t seem to get a lead on the serial killer even as members of their own families are stricken with the virus. In their grief they turn to each other and hope they have time to discover if their relationship stands a chance or if they might just be the next victims of the species extinction disease.

  2. I think your story sounds really awesome. I don't understand publishers sometimes. They publish stories I wouldn't pay a penny for and then toss out others that are fabulous. I am glad you decided to self-publish.
