It's the first in The Wolf Brother series and I'm so excited for you guys to read it!

I also have a new secret (not really) identity as Laurie Gilmore. Under that pen name, I'm cooking up a small-town series, the first of which is called The Pumpkin Spice Cafe. That one comes out on August 30!(less)
