I wanted to let everyone know that my newest book, Blood Ties: The Second is now available for preorder at both Amazon.com and Smashwords.com. Just search my name and you'll find it. I'm super excited to debut it and I am hoping for an awesome bout of reviews and ratings right off the bat. I eagerly wait to hear what the readers think.

Blurb:
Six months has passed since Kendra Henner was turned into a werewolf and a lot has happened since then. A new treaty with the Order of the Defaeco Knights was made. Now her and the Bane Pack fight alongside them in an effort to keep humanity safe from the monsters that would prey on them.
But a new threat is headed her way and one that is vastly more powerful than anything she has faced so far. She must stan against her own fears and find the strength to fight the unbeatable.
In Hunter, a newcomer shows up, but are they friend or foe?
In Goddess, she comes face to face with an ancient evil hell bent on destroying everything she is.
In Vampire, a powerful new force is created to destroy her and her pack.
In Death, she must face a band of seemingly invincible vampires lead by a man with more than enough motivation to wipe out all werewolves.
Continue the story of the Bane Pack in Blood Ties: The Second.

Thanks,
Rustin Petrae
