What is it about the paranormal and wolves?
It’s the fantasy that makes them so attractive! They are
supernatural, therefore they are uber-strong, muscular, and the ultimate
protector –HOT!!! We all know it’s a dream, but dreams are fantastic! Well,
mine are. Hopefully you are reading one of my dreams right now… are you? Which
one? I have my favorite. Which of my books is your favorite?
As far as the specific breed of shifter goes, I think people
connect with wolves (werewolves) more because we relate them to dogs. Dogs are
friendly, caring, protective, and loyal. Wolves are much the same to their
pack. These are all characteristics that we as people, admire.
But anyway, back to the topic. I adore reading paranormal
–Shelly Laurenston, Carrie Ann Ryan, PC Cast, to name just a few. They inspire
me to bring my worlds to life, too. I have all these fabulous characters in my
head just hoot’n and holler’n to be let out. In 2012 I took the plunge and
started. I’ve never been happier.
Thank you so much for having me here today! I look forward
to interacting with your guests.

Chasing Sam
Vegas Mates, Book 1
by Krystal
Shannan
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Samantha
Demakis doesn’t want a mate right now. Her birth-rite and family obligations to
her status as the first daughter of a noble family beg to differ. In fact, even
her wolf seems to be against her. When a chance encounter reveals the man who
might just be a perfect fit, will she run? Or will she fight?
Chase
Michaels has been alone for seventy-five years. He’s fought in Vietnam, the
Persian Gulf, and Afghanistan in the US Army. Somewhat resigned to never
finding his true mate, he is shocked when his wolf reacts so strongly to a
woman he runs into in the airport. Unprepared for the politics and snobbery of
the noble families, Chase finds himself fighting in a different type of war —a
war for the heart of a woman he knows should be his.
A
lot of things are chasing Sam, but who or what will catch her in the end?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT:
Samantha
Demakis wrinkled her nose at the barrage of scents coming from the Christmas
hordes invading McCarran International Airport. She swallowed a growl of
frustration and tightened the leash on her inner wolf. Everybody and their
brother traveled for Christmas, and she didn’t like being one of them. She
should have stayed at Duke. Her gut told her it was a mistake to come home.
Duke Medical
School was her haven away from all this crazy.
People
jostled her from all angles. Her rolling suitcase flipped over and she leaned
back to right it. In the process, someone snatched her blue leather jacket from
the carpeted floor and dashed away.
Shit. Really?
She
straightened and scanned the crowd in the direction the thief had run.
Nothing.
“Miss.”
Sam turned
and looked to her left. Holy mother of hotness! Six and a half feet of
beautiful man, dressed in a muscle-hugging beige thermal shirt and army camo
pants, stood holding her royal-blue leather jacket. She curled her lips into a
smile. His scent was magnetic, and she hurried toward him.
“Thank you so
much.” She reached for the jacket, brushing her fingers along his hand on
purpose. “I thought it was gone for good.” His blue eyes widened just for a
moment. A charge had passed between them. She’d never felt anything like it
before. Her wolf howled and slammed against her consciousness. It took every
scrap of will power not to launch herself at him. The canine soul within her
wanted him right now and so did she. The mate connection between them was
strong. No, no, no. I don’t want a mate right now.
