Learn MoreAs a gardener and nature-lover, I’ve always been drawn to the cross-quarter days. These holidays are important in my Samhain Shifter series (and in the Celtic belief system that series is roughly based on), so I thought you might enjoy hearing more about them. Less well-known than the solstices and equinoxes, the days halfway between…
Of Wolves and Men was written shortly before I was born, and small parts of it are dated. However, the overall theme of the historical human relationship with wolves stands the test of time. My favorite sections involved the intersection of Native American and wolf culture. Both two-legged and four-legged hunters would stalk antelopes in…
Adele Brand’s book is a lovingly written, easy to read, but far from exhaustive window into the red fox’s world. Most the text is about the European foxes the author has had personal experiences with (which she notes are considered by some to be a different species than the North American red fox). Here are…
Twenty-five years ago, when I first showed up at college, I immediately pored over the academic calendar. “Reading week!” I exclaimed, imagining seven solid days of curtailed classes and assignments.

I want them all in one place. Me: I can’t rewrite the past…. Wolfie: [grabbing my keyboard and opening a new word-processing document] Just copy [click] and…

The amazing Mapuana Makia has completed the entire Wolf Legacy series, which is now available on all audio retailers (except the ultra-slow Audible and Amazon). The individual books and box set are…
The Imaginarium was forced to go online due to the pandemic…which means my talk turned into a video I can share with you! Humans that morph into animals abound in fantasy and romance and can even be found in literary fiction, science fiction, and horror. But which shifters appeal to which readers? From fated mates…
The more complicated the world gets, the more I appreciate books that hook me so deeply I lose hours walking in another person’s shoes. Most of these books aren’t in my genre, but every one was a complete immersion in loveliness. Crack their covers before bedtime at your own risk. Krista Street’s Magic in the…
