For my lycan friends, Waxing is Useless

Waxing Is Useless
This good advice is given to my main character, Miranda by her mentor and new best friend, Sherryl. They are sitting in a fast food restaurant trying to regain their composure after a traumatic event, and both end up laughing like hyenas.

So why would waxing not work for a werewolf, you ask? Well, from all my research there are two things. 1) Werewolf metabolism & healing are super speedy. Think "Wolverine" but hairier. 2) During your average transformation fur sprouts where once there was nothing. Not even a follicle. That said, if a werewolf gal had just waxed her legs and undergone the transformation, the fur would sprout anyway, regardless. It's a miraculous physical change, so normal biological rules do not apply.

Sherryl then goes on to tell her pupil that only depilatory cream / gel can keep the hair off the legs more than a day or two. Here's my reasoning. Depilatories use chemicals to dissolve hair. Those chemicals would stay on or in the skin even after rinsing and act as a barrier to hair growth. At least for a while.

Okay, so I have no basis for this thought, really. It's just how my brain works. What do you think? Is waxing really useless for werewolves?

Let me know!

Hugs & howls,

Working on Vol. 2 of the Luna Chronicles

So I'm about ten chapters in and it's reminding me why a first draft is called rough. Good grief! I'm struggling a bit, but still enjoying delving into the world of the Spokane Guardians.

I'm digging deeper into my original characters back stories (esp. Hank and his mysterious family tree), introducing new characters, and creating a monstrous new menace!

Miranda and the pack will have their relationships and creativity tested, and their pack history, territory, and shoe sizes expanded. ;)

Stay tuned for more news about "Lilac City Lunacy - Vol. 2 of the Luna Chronicles!

**Mini-spoiler** There may also be a bit of romance involved this time. Crikey!

Being a new author

So, the book I've worked on for the last x number of years has finally been thrown into the cyberverse! Waxing Is Useless is now available on Amazon.com. Great, so what do I do now?

As a self-publisher, I knew on some level that I'd be in charge of my own marketing. What I didn't consider was my absolute lack of understanding current website / blog design. There's so much to learn! I used to be good at this stuff but apparently coding has changed and I'm playing catch up. So, for the moment, please bear with me as I learn (or would that be re-learn?) how to do this.

If you have read, or are planning to read my book, THANK YOU! I hope you enjoy it. :)

Please feel free to give honest reviews. Every review, for good or bad, will help me make my next book better.
