The Leopard Series: Leopard’s Rage
I always wanted to write a shapeshifter story and in 2002 I got my wish. I wrote a story called The Awakening in a novella entitled Fantasy along with Sabrina Jeffries, Emma Holly and Elda Minger. I enjoyed writing the novella so much I thought I’d try my hand at writing a full novel. Wild Rain was my first full novel in the Leopard Series and the hero and heroine, Rio and Rachael, were in the forest surrounded by danger. What fun!
Now, I’ve written my 13th Leopard series novel – Leopard’s Rage ! The leopard shifters are still in danger but now we’ve add a mob element and so much more!
We’ve seen many different types of leopards over the years. Cloud leopards, Amur leopards and now a Strawberry leopard just to name a few. I’ve been writing a lot about the Amur leopards lately and the hero of Leopard’s Rage, Sevastyan falls into that category. He’s Amur leopard from Russian with a horrific past that he has fought hard to survive and overcome. I thought it would be fun to pair him with Flambe, a woman who helps rescue others like herself, an ultra-rare Strawberry leopard. Flambe is courageous and smart. She owns her own landscaping business. But, she’s never been mated before and something more is at play with our heroine that will challenge Sevastyan and may surprise the reader!
I love how this series has flowed over the years. Before Leopard’s Rage is the story of Sevastyan’s cousin, Mitya in Leopard’s Wrath. Before that is another Amurov relative – Timur in Leopard’s Run. You can see the progression of where these characters are going and danger follows them. And in Leopard’s Rage the danger is overwhelming in a way that brings the adventure in this story to a 10!
Let me know which of the Leopard books have been your favorite. (It’s okay to pick more than one!) LOL

Leopard Shifters and the Mob
Leopard’s Rage is the 13th book in my Leopard Series .
I’ve always thought about how ruthless the mob is. Dangerous, unpredictable and untrustworthy let along criminal, the mob makes for great villains and lots of danger. And in its own way the mob is a pack. They stick to their own and there’s a hierarchy. How do you fight something like the mob?
My thought? From within. And from someone equally ruthless, dangerous and unpredictable.
In nature it’s the strongest that survive and that lead. But, you can’t just be strong and ruthless. You have to be smart. You have to know your enemy. You have to be willing to use deadly force.
Leopards have all the attributes needed to get in and out quickly, quietly and without being seen. Leopards are known for being elusive. They’re apex hunters and they are known to be man-eaters. Strong, fast and calculating, imagine combining those traits with that of a human.
Sevastyan Amurov is an Amur leopard from Russia. His upbringing is one of violence and danger. He’s a trained killer as a leopard and as a man. He’s the perfect bodyguard for his cousin Mitya who he would die for. Who he would kill for. Other leopard shifters are careful to show their respect and stay the hell out of his way.
My guys aren’t typical mob. They are trying to keep some of the mob’s worse offenses from happening. They’re doing their best to protect people from the inside. That means being stealthy. Being smart.
As danger reaches out for Mitya, Sevastyan is pulled in different directions, not because his loyalty waivers, but because he’s found a woman, Flambe, who comes with her own set of challenges. Her own dangers. Sevastyan is about to be tested and he’s not a patient man.
There are a few surprises in this book that I don’t think readers will see coming.

Endangered: Leopard’s Rage
Did you know that leopards are an endangered species and that there are some species of leopard in which there are only a handful left in existence?
(Photo used with permission by Roger Hall)
The Sri Lankan leopard and the Persian leopard are endangered, but there are some that are considered “Critically Endangered” such as the Amur leopard, Javan leopard and Arabian leopard.
The Strawberry leopard The Strawberry leopard is even more endangered with less than 10 known in existence to date.
The Strawberry leopard has light brown and even red rosettes and pinkish pelts. Flambe, the heroine in Leopard’s Rage is a Strawberry leopard and she’s highly sought after for more reasons than one. It is a species of leopard with a mutation that caused the color to change in the rosettes.
Leopards can be found throughout Africa and Asia. You can find them in Russian, Korea, China, India and Malaysia.
It's important to me to highlight these majestic and endangered animals. I want people to love and admire them. I hope people fall in love with leopards and care about what happens to them.
