These Leopards Haven’t Changed Their Spots: WalMart Covers
I was asked by WalMart if they could do special limited-edition covers for my Leopard Series and naturally I said “yes”. I was excited that there was such interest in refreshing the series with new covers and knew that readers who like to collect my books might be interested in having these special covers.
The story inside hasn’t changed. I’ve not added anything new to them. Only the cover is new. But, the benefit to having the new covers at WalMart is that it has attracted new readers. The covers are really well done and I like them very much.
WalMart had done special edition covers for the Drake Sisters series and that had gone over really well. I’m hoping to see the same with the Leopard series. So far, Wild Rain, Burning Wild, Wild Fire and Savage Nature have been released. July 16th Leopard’s Prey will get its new cover and be released, then Cat’s Lair Oct. 15th and Wild Cat Nov. 19th.
To get the special limited-edition collector’s covers you have to go into WalMart and purchase them. There’s always a chance you’ll find some at a secondhand bookstore, but for a new copy you need to go into WalMart for it. I know you can order online from WalMart, but that doesn’t ensure you’ll get the new cover. You may get whatever is in stock, or you could get the new cover, but there’s no guarantee. The only guarantee that you’d get the new cover is by physically going into the store and buying it off the shelf. The ebooks though, those will auto-update to the new covers.
The NEW Leopard series book is Leopard’s Wrath which will be out everywhere on Nov. 5th.

GhostWalkers, Carpathians, Leopards, Shadow Riders and Bikers ... Oh My!
I thought I'd update everyone on what books are coming out and what I'm writing now.
Toxic Game released in paperback recently and I'm so happy to have Draden and Shylah's story out once more. These two stole my heart and are one of my most favorite couples. I think Toxic Game is one of the most romantic stories I've ever written.
Next up for the GhostWalkers will be Lethal Game, which is Malichai Fortunes and Amaryllis.
I completed Lethal Game and turned it in already. I'm not sure which character will be next, but you're welcome to tell me who is on your wish list!
Dark Illusion was released in hardcover Sept. 3rd and I'm so happy so many of you enjoyed it. We hit #3 on the New York Times combined list, thank you! This is Julija and Isai's book. I enjoyed bringing back Xavier's book and the shadow cats! The paperback version will be out in a few months. As soon as I have an exact date I'll post that on my website.
Currently, I'm writing Dark Song which is Ferro and Elisabeta's book. I'm already a few chapters in and have I am being surprised by Ferro. It's always fun when a character becomes even better than I thought they would be and I'm having so much fun writing this story.
The book should be out around this time next year, but I don't have the exact date just yet.
Leopard's Wrath is my next Leopard series book and it will be released on Nov. 5th. This is Mitya and Ania's book. I know many readers have been waiting for Mitya's book and I'm happy it's finally time for his story to be told. You get to find out more about his history and I'm leading up to something surprising for this series in the books to come!
Shadow Flight is Taviano and Nicoletta's book and I am so excited it's finally their time! I completed that book and turned it in for editing. This is one of those books that was so satisfying to write. It's helpful to write about characters over a long period of time where you get to know them so well. When it's their time to be featured in a story you already know how they'll react. Sure, you get surprised from time to time, but they're familiar in a way that feels good to spend time with them. Both characters were that way. Yeah, there was a bit of fiasco in the beginning, but... oh wait...I can't give any of this away yet! It's too soon!
The next book in my Torpedo Ink series is Ice's book. Vendetta Road brings our Ice man to Vegas and to a woman he knows he doesn't deserve, but hey! Why let that stop you, right? LOL Ice has the charm and he's not afraid to use it. But, never fear, his woman is no shrinking violet. Someone's about to have their heart melt. :-)
After Vendetta Road is Desolation Road which is Absinthe's book. That book did not go as I had originally planned, which is always a double-edged sword. It's fun, but sometimes you just want a story take the easy road. What was I thinking? LOL
I think that catches up for now. I'd love to know which character you're most looking forward to reading about in any or all of my series!

Writing Shapeshifter Stories
I’ve always loved shapeshifter stories and knew that I would write one. Now, I’ve written twelve and I have ideas for so many more.
The idea of people who could, not only turn into an animal, but who had those animal traits and lived by the rules of that type of animal’s lifestyle, intrigued me.
I read many stories in which the person just happened to shift into some kind of animal, but they were otherwise unaffected by that animal. I wanted stories of people who were truly merged with that animal on such a fundamental and profound level that you could feel it when the traits of the animal began to manifest while that person was in human form. And, when in animal form you felt that the personality and beliefs of the human were somewhere deep inside the animal.
When I decided to create my own shapeshifter world I chose leopards for many reasons. One was that I love leopards. I love the majesty of them, the grace and power. They are both beautiful and dangerous all at once.
As I began my extensive research on leopards I realized that leopards from different regions have their own differences from one another. That’s part of the reason I chose the Amur leopard for my Texas leopards. Amur leopards can be found in Russia. I’d already researched Russia and even the Russian mob for other books, so this seemed both natural and fun to write.
Amur leopards are growing extinct. Sadly, there are less than 100 Amur leopards left in the wild. These leopards are one of the most endangered. They are strong predators. I wanted to bring these amazing animals to people’s attention and I wanted to be able to discuss the issue of their slow extinction without it sounding like a lesson.
Mitya Amurov, the hero of Leopard’s Wrath, embodies all the traits of an Amur leopard. So much so, that he doesn’t trust himself. With good reason. Leopards have terrible tempers. They are very dominant. They take what they want or what they need to survive.
Mitya, in my mind, is an example of a shapeshifter character that merges and blends both human and animal. You feel how Mitya struggles to keep his leopard and his leopard traits under his control, which isn’t always possible. It couldn’t be. Not if I’m being true to the rules I’ve set up for my world. The leopard needs to be equally dominant at times. It needs to push at Mitya, insisting on having its way.
The one thing both Mitya and his leopard can agree on is that Ania Dover is special. She calms them. She calls to them on a basic level. And, they want her. Need her. With her leopard pushing at her, recognizing Mitya’s leopard, a sort of dance begins. Sometimes volatile. Always erotic.
Leopards embody passion and when that explodes within the confines of a human body, that passion owns them.
Leopard's Wrath is out now!
Let me know what you love about shapeshifter books. Which of mine are your favorite? Who else writes good shapeshifter books?

Leopard Shapeshifters and the Allure of the Alpha Male : Mitya
It’s no secret that my leopard series is my most erotic. And though all of my heroes in all of my series are alpha males, the leopards are particularly dominating predators. Part of that has to do with the nature of leopards, the other has to do with the nature of men. These men are already alpha males, and then we add the violence, dominance and predatory nature of the leopard on top of that. It can be explosive in so many ways.
Leopards are one of the only animals in nature that, even as you are hunting them, they will turn around and start hunting you. They are cunning, intelligent creatures.
Mitya’s leopard is the Amur leopard. Mitya was first introduced as a bodyguard to Alonzo/Fyodor. Just because a leopard shifter works for the main boss doesn’t mean they are not an alpha. Actually, the bodyguards are protectors and the leader must cooperate with them in order to stay safe. Bodyguard positions are all like that.
In the world that I’ve created, all of the male leopards are alpha. But, they are also part of a pack. So, as a society they choose the way their pack will be run. They agree on a leader and agree to obey that leader. In Mitya’s case, he moved up the ranks to become a leader of his own pack. Moving from bodyguard to leader is particularly challenging since Mitya’s always been the person who protects others. It’s not easy for him to give that up.
Mitya Amurov came from Russian and was born into the Vor, the Russian mob. He was the son of a leader of the Vor, expected to ascend into an enforcer and then to leader. But, things went horribly wrong when he was a child. Now, years later, he lives in Texas and knows his past is coming back to haunt him.
Mitya’s love interest is Ania Dover; thrill-seeker, transporter, businesswoman, shifter. This is a woman who is no wilting flower and can certainly stand on her own two feet regardless of what the world throws at her. Ania knows danger. The allure of someone like Mitya is almost too much to ignore.
Mitya realizes who and what Ania is. Claiming her is complicated, which just makes Mitya more determined, more dominant and more dangerous. I love that Mitya is this badass alpha male. If he is able to claim Ania, he’s not likely to let her out of his sight.
So, if you really enjoy those alpha males, Mitya and Ania’s story is a perfect blend of danger, sex and challenge. They are certainly one of the most erotic couples I’ve ever written.

Choosing a Leopard
I’ve always been interested in big cats. When I started writing I knew I’d write a shapeshifter book at some point, so mixing the two felt natural. While some people have werewolves or dragon shifters, I was intrigued by leopards for several reasons.
First of all, there are so many species of leopard all over the world, but so many are endangered and near extinction. I wanted to be able to bring people’s attention to that without it sounding preachy or forced.
I’ve used several different types of leopards. I hope to include other varieties of leopard in future books as well. I enjoy research about them, learning the differences between the leopards from all areas of the world.
Mitya, like Timur and Fyodor, is an Amur leopard from Russia. There are less than 100 Amur leopards in the wild. These are very dominant leopards. Most leopards are, and I knew that would make for some passionate romance.
Sometimes I choose a leopard because of geography. I knew the Russian leopards would be a perfect choice for my guys becoming part of the mob. Of course, they’re really there ensuring nothing too horrible happens with these mobsters they’re in bed with, but they are not choir boys. These are men dangerous and deadly.
But, I’ve written about leopards in the jungle and there are those I’ve been writing about who live in Louisiana. Sometimes the geography matters, sometimes what matters most are the traits of a particular leopard. I do give thought to what kind of leopard best suits the character.
Matching the right leopard to the right human is important. They need to be able to blend seamlessly. My shapeshifters are all a combination of human and leopard, sharing traits and needs. The world of shape-shifting leopards I’ve built has rules in place that I, as the author, follow. Choosing the right leopard is one of the most important.

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.
