TOR is a nominee for Best Tearjerking scene, Best Slave/Dub Con/Kidnapped Story, Best Paranormal Story, as well as Hottest Shifter Character
WereWolf Fight League: Tor
I'm so thrilled that Tor was nominated in 4 categories in the Goodreads M/M awards contest!!
Best Paranormal Story
Best TearJerker Scene
Hottest Shifter Character
Best Slave/Dub Con Kidnap Story
I couldn't figure out how to get the neat badges to show up here, but they're on my FB timeline, if you want to see them.
So I thought, I'd offer a taste of Tor - how about that tear jerker scene? In case anyone wants to give it a read.
EXCERPT ----
Tor! Tor! Tor! Tor!”
The chanting of the crowd surrounding the cage hampered Tor’s ability to hear.
Behind him, his mate, Jin, hung back in the corner, his delicate hands gripping the steel chain links of the cage as he watched. In front of Tor, Cosack, the big bald Russian, paced back and forth, beating his chest. Spittle flew from his mouth as he cursed and raved at Tor, goading him before the bell rang to signal the final round.
Cosack’s owner called him to the side of the cage, and he went, still glaring at Tor over his shoulder, the outline of a black baying wolf tattooed there. His owner wiped the blood from Cosack’s arm and checked the healed wound, then spoke to the werewolf in a tone too low for Tor to hear above the roar of the crowd.
Marrack, Tor’s owner, stood silent at the side of the cage, knowing better than to try to tell Tor how to fight, but the look in his eyes and the thin line of his mouth told Tor that his confidence in ending this fight with a win wavered.
Tor glanced up at the scoreboard at the rear of the arena. He was ahead in points, and all he needed were a few good hits, or to pin Cosack, and he’d win. A clock counted down the seconds before the bell starting the round would ring.
Both werewolves wore blood from the fight, but his challenger had grown more and more out of control with each round.
As the mating urge compelled him to attack Tor, the challenger’s ice-blue gaze kept straying to Jin. Cosack’s attempts to weaken Tor enough to claim Tor’s mate as his own wore Tor down, but so far he’d handled them.
The crowd cheered when the bell rang. Cosack roared and punched his owner in the face, knocking the man off the cage and into the first row of seats.
In all his years in the fighting cage, Tor had never seen an insane werewolf before, but that was what he looked at now. For the first time since this fight had started, fear skittered along Tor’s spine. If Cosack dared to attack his owner, he was capable of anything, and that made him even more dangerous.
Tor would never let that crazed bastard touch Jin. He’d die first.
“Tor, watch him.” Jin’s hiss of warning reached Tor’s ears, and he nodded. “He’s going to shift.” Jin, Tor’s partner in the cage, had never failed to know just when a competitor would change to his wolf form.
Tor shifted first.
Cosack didn’t.
The big Russian charged him, and Tor leaped to the side, his teeth snapping at Cosack as he passed him. A flash of metal caught Tor’s eye, and his wolf brain registered it as foreign. No weapons were allowed in the cages. Only claws, teeth, fighting skills, and wits. Where did that --
His body spasmed as Cosack drove the thin blade deep into Tor’s side. Blinding pain exploded as his chest collapsed, his lung punctured, his ability to breathe stolen from him in an illegal move.
Tor slammed onto the floor, his body sliding, skidding into the center of the cage. Struggling to get to his feet, he crawled around, using his hind legs to push as one foreleg dangled useless and the other scrabbled on the cement floor.
His claws shredded as bloody foam bubbled from his mouth.
Cosack roared and advanced on Jin.
Tor’s bark came out merely a whine, too pitiful, too stretched to be heard above the crowd’s roar. Around him, cries flew up like black crows rising a hundred feet over the floor of the arena to the steel rafters holding the cameras televising the fights. Spectators rattled their chairs, and the place, every seat taken, exploded in a thousand voices. All yelling. All chanting. All screaming.
Through the babble, Tor heard only Jin’s voice.
“Tor. No. Please get up,” Jin cried.
Their gazes locked across the thirty feet separating them, Tor on the floor, unable to get to his feet, and Jin trapped in the corner of the cage as Cosack advanced to claim his victory.
To claim Tor’s mate.
Tor tried to crawl, scraping on his belly, his hind legs pushing, but he couldn’t shift the weight of his upper body with his left side immobile. It was over. Cosack had won. And he’d take Jin, there in the corner of the cage, in front of thousands. In front of Tor’s owner Marrack. In front of Tor. The ultimate loss.
Tor’s honor, his pride, his mate.
Cosack grabbed Jin by the throat with his huge hand and lifted him in the air. The slave chains linking Jin’s wrists together clinked as Jin clawed at Cosack’s hand. Blood dripped on the floor as Jin’s nails dug into the Russian’s flesh, but Cosack never let go.
“Mine!” Cosack’s voice cut through all the noise around Tor. He shook Jin, and the boy’s naked body flailed, his legs snapping back and forth, his face turning red as the big bastard cut off his air.
Despite it all, Jin’s gaze still held Tor in its grip. He couldn’t look away, couldn’t let Jin go through this alone.
Cosack would be brutal, Tor knew it. And from the terror in Jin’s brown eyes, Jin knew it too.
Cosack threw Jin to the ground.
“Position, slave!” he ordered as Jin lay splayed on his belly, his chest heaving as he sucked in air.
Tor smelled Jin’s fear, and he whimpered.
Jin tried to smile, to let Tor know it would be all right. That no matter what, Jin loved Tor. Forever.
Shaking, Jin got to his hands and knees, lowered his head, and pushed his ass in the air, in mating position. Jin knew the price for Tor failing to protect him in the cage. They both did, and until this moment, in three years of cage fights,
Tor had never lost. Together they had defeated every competitor in the league.
Until now. Until this madman.
Cosack, his cock already hard in anticipation, stood behind Jin and roared at the booing crowd. People threw empty beer and food containers at the cage, some deflected by the fencing while some made it onto the floor. Everything seemed to drive Cosack wilder, and he roared at the crowd.
Cosack grabbed Jin’s waist with hands as large as Tor’s, though nowhere near as gentle. For a split second Tor wanted to close his eyes, to break away from the sight, but to do so would leave Jin alone, and he could never do that. The cold of the cement floor seeped into his body. He could barely take in a breath, and he knew he was dying.
But not until it was over. Not until Cosack let Jin go. Not until Jin held Tor one last time. He’d keep breathing until then. For Jin.
Cosack roared and thrust, and Jin screamed, the sound ripping Tor’s heart into pieces. The fucking was brutal; Cosack’s grunts fell like acid on Tor’s skin, and still Jin’s gaze never left Tor.
The Russian grabbed Jin around the chest and pulled him up to sit on his lap as he knelt. Tears slipped down Jin’s cheeks as he mouthed, I love you. In wolf form, Tor could only blink and whimper. But Jin knew.
Cosack placed his hands on either side of Jin’s head and twisted, snapping Jin’s neck. He pushed Jin, and his body slid off Cosack’s still-hard cock and fell as if in slow motion to the concrete floor, landing with his face turned away from Tor.
Tor’s heart stopped beating.
The crowd fell silent.
Howling, Cosack stood, jerked himself, and shot his cum all over Jin’s body.
Across the cage, Tor stared.
Jin’s gaze frozen forever in Tor’s mind, not in life, but in death.
The shouts of the crowd returned, and the handlers rushed into the cage, stun rifles leveled at Cosack, who stood over Jin’s body, roaring in defiant insanity at the world.
Tor watched as they shot that fucking dog down. Watched as Cosack went to his knees, still screaming. Watched as he fell face forward, his body twitching as each electric dart slammed into his body.
Then he lay still.
Tor closed his eyes. He could die now. He didn’t need to wait for Jin anymore.
I hope you'll like this snippet enough to read the rest of the book.

My Next Big Thing!
Hi! For those of you who don't know me, I've been writing forever and published since 2008. Mostly with Loose Id, Amber Quill and Liquid Silver. You can find my books there or at whichever re-seller is your preference. I have lots, over thirty at last count. I'd like to think I have a book for everyone, but I love paranormals the most.
So, this blog hop is about your next WIP - and answering 10 questions about it, so here goes....
What is the working title of your book?
It’s WereWolf Fight League: Ashland
Where did the idea come from for the book?
I’d been kicking around the idea of this world where werewolves were slaves – sort of a mixture of Roman Gladiators/Thoroughbred racing/UFC/dog fighting – and came up with the WWFL. The first book was Tor, about a Norwegian werewolf and his unwelcome new mate, Sky, a naïve sex slave. This is the second in the series, about Ashland, a werewolf used for sparring in cage matches and his owner Stoltz.
What genre does your book fall under?
Paranormal Gay Romance Alternate Universe – that was a mouthful! Er, no pun intended!
Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie?
Well, Ashland is a redheaded English bred werewolf, so maybe someone like Russell Crowe, and his owner is Stoltz, and he’s German, so maybe a Daniel Craig type.
What is a one sentence synopsis of your book?
When Stoltz becomes a master of a slave, he swears never to take advantage of his position, until he buys Ashland, and all his vows are put to the test.
Will your book be self published or represented by an agency?
No. It’s coming out from Loose Id. All my books are epubbed.
How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
Well, since this is my WIP, it’s still being written. However, I write and edit as I go so I only have one draft. Usually for a novella of 30K about a month to write and edit.
What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
Well, the first book in the series, Tor.
>b>Who or What inspired you to write this book?
I love UFC fighting, and Roman gladiators, and thoroughbred racing and werewolves. I just hate the idea of dog fights and slaves, so I wanted to push my boundaries and put them all together in this alternate world.
What else about your book might interest the reader?
Besides the hot sex scenes? The two main characters are struggling with their attraction and their morals. Ashland is a slave and must do as he’s told. When does having sex with your master happen out of love and not obedience? And for Stoltz, who thinks taking advantage of a slave who has no choices in his life is the ultimate form of rape, how do you put that aside, drop your walls, and admit your feelings?
I hope readers will look forward to it, and if they haven’t read Tor yet, that they’ll go out and get it first, and then love it so much they can’t wait for Ashland! But, yeah, I’m dreaming…still. Nice dream!
