About the author

I'm a writer, an artist (of sorts), I love reading, drawing, writing, listening to music, my husband and family (not necessarily in that order). I also work for MythCast (unpaid) and a property services company. In my spare time, I...yeah, about that...well, I sometimes watch TV, mainly fun things like Supernatural, NCIS, Dexter, Firefly etc.
My first Fantasy Novel (Cold Day in Hell)was published on e-book and trade paperback, as was my second book (Wolf) an Urban Fantasy. My third book, Starstone, has just been released and all available to buy! I'm working on the sequel to Starstone and the follow-up to Cold Day (Hell is Where the Heart is) has been finished and is released 15th April! I'm also trying my hand an 'erotic romance'(I can hear you thinking!), I've always wanted to write, and to have books published is truly amazing, and I really hope people enjoy reading them!

This book was a complete THRILL to read. Once you open the book, your real world will fade and you will find yourself waiting for the ending with a sense of excitement to see how it ends and a sense of sadness that it's over. The following is the review posted on my blog.

Could you handle going from a tough, street-smart, heroin addict to one of the top werewolves in one of the top werewolf clans? Well, that is exactly what happens to Jenna Gray in the book WOLF by DENISE MAIN. One day she’s on the street living the hopeless life of a heroin addict and the next she is thrown into the adventure of a lifetime that begins with an exploding bar.

After the explosion, Jenna spends her time with her rescuer, Lone Wolf and his wolf pup. Little by little, Jenna is fed bits and pieces of memories she has been made to forget by Lone Wolf concerning her past and her life. Jenna begins to figure out what a dangerous situation she is in and wonders if she can trust anyone she considers a friend. From dirty streets in bad neighborhoods to beautiful hills in the country, the reader will follow Jenna on a mission to save herself and those of her clan she holds close to her heart.

This was an action packed story with a tight easy to follow plot. Main did an awesome job of bringing the reader into the story and bringing the characters out. I enjoyed this book from the first word on the first page to the last word on the last page and hope she writes more on this clan and Jenna.

I thought this book sounded like a great read. Werewolves, spiritual awakenings... Things I enjoy reading about. Well, those things were part of the book, and I did enjoy those aspects, as I'd anticipated I would. However, the fact the main character couldn't seem to speak without cursing was irritating, and I couldn't believe how naive she is - especially for someone who hasn't exactly been living a sheltered life. Not to mention, I was uncomfortable with the freedom of partner selection, and the fact it was explained away as being acceptable because shifter morals are different to most human's morals. It's a shame, because the plot had potential, and all the twists and turns in it might have had me loving it were it not for those issues. I'd have still been a bit disappointed with the abruptness of the ending though, since that was so sudden I had to double-check the book really was over. Clean up the language, don't let being shifters be an excuse for encounters that even the characters themselves agreed would be frowned upon by most people, give the character the street smarts she should have aquired during recent years (even if she hadn't before) and give us an ending that's not so abrupt, and this book could be a five star read.

I quite enjoyed this book. I loved the werewolf aspect to it, or shifters as they are called. However, with this book I would have liked to see more of the other shifters, and not just the wolves. The characters, though, sucked you in and the storyline was fast-paced and the action never stopped! A sexy, romantic, quirky novel that keeps pulling you in until you're done! That being said, it thought the book ended rather abruptly :( I would have liked to see a little more of a settling of the plot, but perhaps that will come in another installment.

An excellent read. Twists and turns on every page. Main never hives too much away. A little twisted story line not my usual pick but a great story that leaves you wanting more.

Like the crushing power of a wolf's powerful jaws, this thrilling story will hold you spellbound. Denise has created a new classic and it is being launched at the perfect time to leap off to a howling success! No tricks here, this is a real treat in every respect of the word!

It's really exciting, every page a new twist in story. I unfortunately what I didn't like, is that it abruptly finishes.... As if the writer couldn't take anymore. All the twists and turns and boom the end. Will there be a book two?
