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.

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.
Author Bio:
Jill James didn’t start out wanting to be an
author. Along the way she wanted to be an astronaut, President of the United
States, a lawyer, and a doctor. Once married with children she realized she
could be all those things in the pages of the stories she wrote.
She lives in Northern California with her husband,
who is the inspiration for all her romance novel heroes.

Donna, thank you for having me on your blog today.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading DANGEROUS SHIFT. It looks amazing.
