Guest Author - Stacey Kennedy


Hello all you Shapeshifter lovers out there,
Please help me welcome back, this Sunday's special guest author, Stacey Kennedy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stacey,
I love the cover and the name of your upcoming release, Everlasting Bite - yum! 

Did you always want to become a writer?


No, I did not. In fact, I never had dreams of being an author and didn’t even know I was capable of it. I read lots, but never had ambitions to write a story. Until this one day in December 2009. A story came to me―one character that grabbed hold of my thoughts and wouldn’t let go until I wrote her life. So, I dug in, wrote it, and was surprised that it was actually good. And thus was born The Magical Sword Series. From there, it’s history and now I’ve got a bunch of released under my belt.

How did your family react to fact that you also write romance novels? Has your family read your books?

My family has been a huge support. I think at first they were surprised by my sudden interest in writing. But after they read one, they just kept asking for more. Always a good sign. Truthfully, my family has only read The Magical Sword series and The Blue Bloods series. My other projects tend to dapple more into erotica, and let’s just say, I’d rather my mother not read what her daughter is capable of imaging.

Most authors are also avid readers. Is this the case with you? If so, who are some of your favorites?

This list could go on and on. But some of my top authors that I will by whatever they write are, Katie MacAllister, Jeaniene Frost, Keri Arthur, Charlaine Harris, and Mary Janice Davidson. As you can tell, I love light-hearted paranormal that’s got some kick-ass heroines in it.

Do you find it difficult at times to write love scenes?

Hell no!! Love scenes are by far the easiest for me to write. To live out your fantasies, to do things you’d never imagine doing, it’s just a bucket of fun! It doesn’t matter if it’s in the first person or third, the woman’s perspective or the man’s, those scenes always come easy for me.

What is your favorite book from the books that you have written so far? Who are your favorite hero and heroine, and why?

Favorite book, that’s impossible to answer. I love each of my stories for all different reasons. But I can tell you I have a favorite hero. Briggs. An Everlasting Bite is his and Rynn’s first story. I tend to write powerful Alpha men who can be a bit on the arrogant side. But Briggs has none of that. Yes, he is strong and protective over Rynn, but he’s so sweet that he seriously melts my heart. I will never grow tired of writing him.

Tell us a bit about your new release.

Above I introduced you to the characters in An Everlasting Bite, but to give you more of an understanding of what this story entails, here’s the blurb.

Love is born between strangers, yet built upon a bond soul deep―one Alpha’s vow to protect his mate from looming danger, all the while, mending her soul and stirring her wolfish desires.

A vicious werewolf attack in Plymouth, Minnesota leaves a young woman violated, bitten and now, transformed into werewolf. But Rynn Murphy doesn’t have to face this transformation alone—she has her mate by her side. And the charming Briggs―Beta to the Patriarch, Valor―is eager to ease her into this new life and mend her battered soul.

With only weeks to adjust to her new fur, Rynn, follows Briggs while he assists in locating the daughter of the Montana’s Alpha, who was abducted from her home. But this journey is not without danger. And soon, they discover the ones who have taken this young wolf do not want her found and will stop at nothing to keep her hidden. Or so it may seem, as bodies begin to drop around them, the murderous attempts start to appear more as a hit than a smoke screen—leaving only one question, who is the intended target…

Guest Author ~ Stacey Kennedy


A Shapeshifter howl of welcome to Urban Fantasy author, Stacey Kennedy!

Sexy Werewolves, love, and heart-pounding action! Sound like your type of read?

The Blue Bloods series is a spin off from The Magical Sword Series, which is where Rynn and Briggs are first introduced. An Everlasting Bite is the first novel in their story. It focuses away from the Otherworld and more into rural Utah.

Coming from Liquid Silver Books ~ October 2010

Blurb ~

A vicious werewolf attack in Plymouth, Minnesota leaves a young woman violated, bitten and now, transformed into a Werewolf. But Rynn Murphy doesn’t have to face this transformation alone—she has her mate by her side. And the charming Briggs is eager to ease her into this new life and mend her battered soul.

With only weeks to adjust to her new fur, Rynn begins to understand what it truly means to be mated to the Beta, secondhand man to Valor, Patriarch of Wolves. Their leadership over the Alphas brings them in contact with the Montana Alpha, Hendrix. He is in a desperate state to find his abducted daughter. Valor and Briggs agree to give aid in her rescue leaving Rynn to tag along.

But this mission is not without danger. And soon, they discover the ones who have taken this young wolf do not want her found and will stop at nothing to keep her hidden. Or so it may seem, as bodies begin to drop around them—the murderous attempts start to appear more as a hit than a smoke screen—leaving only one question, who is the intended target…

Here’s an excerpt from Rynn's diary!

So, I’m a werewolf. Really, it’s not so bad. Briggs, my mate--yeah I’m still getting used to that word--is being really sweet. He’s so patient with me while I try and control this beast that now lives inside me.

It’s been a crazy past few days, so much has happened, but I won’t go into it now. My head is full enough without having to relive it all. Truthfully, I have this nagging feeling that things aren’t about to slow down any time soon. With Briggs being Beta to Valor--the Patriarch to the Alphas--danger seems to be all around us.

I should be scared. But I’m not--well, not really--Briggs would never let anything happen to me. He’s too protective for that. As all werewolves are with their mates, or so I’m learning. But still, I’m just not made out for all this violence. The human in me is just too used to the laws governed by the police force, not wolf packs. Oh well, I guess this is my life now and I better just suck up. Or...so I keep telling myself! Let's just leave it at, I'm coming around to the idea.
