Backlist Spotlight: An Alpha’s Path

In the past few months I’ve found out that I have an amazing amount of new readers that I can’t wait to share more with. Some have found me through social media, some through bundles, others through search engines or conferences. I am blessed to have every one of you.


Since I first published in 2011, my backlist has grown considerably and some people are unsure of where to start reading. Also, sometimes, between newsletters, Facebook, Twitter, and other places, sometimes you STILL miss when I have a new release. I do my best to make sure it gets out there, but with so many books out there and with the fact we all have lives outside of reading (Shocking! I know), its easy to miss.


So for the next month or so I will be spotlighting each of my books with some fun trivia, buy links, FAQs, and other things that come to mind when I see one of my books. I encourage you to comment and talk to me about where you first heard of this particular book and if you’re read it. If you haven’t had a chance to read yet, well, what are you waiting for? Come on and check it out!


Up first? My first book, An Alpha’s Path.


AnAlphasPathTitle: An Alpha’s Path


Series: Redwood Pack Book 1


Characters: Melanie and Kade


Awards: #1 on ARe, named best shifter story of 2013 by a few blogs and awards, nominated for best first book by the Indie Romance Novel Convention


Best Memory: I was so surprised when An Alpha’s Path went on to sell 14,000+ copies in its first month of release. I mean, come on! I’m just some indie kid writing about werewolves. Kade and Melanie were my first couple and though I love them with all my heart, I think I’ve grown as a writer so much since then.


Where did the idea come from? I wanted to see what would happen when a very analytic woman, Melanie, found out her blind date (that turned out to be an overnight one!) was a werewolf. From there spawned my entire Redwood Pack series and so much more.

Blurb:


Melanie is a twenty-five year old chemist who has spent all of her adult life slaving at school. With her PhD in hand, she’s to start her dream job, but before she does, her friend persuades her to relax and try to live again. A blind date set up through her friends seems like the perfect solution. Melanie can take one night away from the lab and let her inner vixen out on a fixed blind date – a chance to get crazy with a perfect stranger. The gorgeous hunk she’s to meet exceeds her wildest dreams – but he is more than what he appears and Melanie’s analytical mind goes into overdrive.


Kade, a slightly older werewolf (at over one hundred years), needs a night way from the Pack. Too many responsibilities and one near miss with a potential mate made Kade hide in his work, the only peace he can find. His brother convinces him to meet the sexy woman for a one night of fun. What could it hurt? But when he finds this woman could be his mate, can he convince her to leave her orderly, sane world and be with him and his wolf-half, for life?


Excerpt:


Melanie took a deep breath as she gave herself a good look in the mirror. This bathroom may be the greatest and  most luxurious thing she’d ever seen, but she barely gave it a second glance.


What the hell was she doing? There was a gorgeous god standing in the room that she practically ran from. What the hell was she doing in here?


All throughout dinner, she couldn’t seem to string two coherent sentences together. She resembled acting like a ditzy, shy deer in the headlights. It was no wonder Kade was just fine with not having sex tonight. Oh, he may have said that he wanted her, but he didn’t seem to fight for it.


Oh, that was just great. Kade was considerate of her feelings, yet here she was, making him the bad guy. This whole experience made her a wreck. Maybe Mel wasn’t experienced with men, but she was experienced with meeting people and communicating with another human being. Tonight was a once in a lifetime opportunity to have wild and passionate sex with a near stranger. And oh yes, just looking at Kade, she knew it would be exactly that. She grew damp just thinking about him, and what wicked things could await her if she would just say yes.


And honestly, what was stopping her? Going through with this would leave her with an amazing and glorious memory. She needed more of those. The need to hear she was beautiful, sexy and wanted overwhelmed her. Mel didn’t want to be the “smart” one anymore. She squared her shoulders and looked at herself in the mirror once more.
