Fantasy | Romance Paranormal

Beast Warrior is a historical paranormal romance that takes place during the Viking Era of the Dark Ages. A time when only the strong survive. It is the second book in the Wolf Maiden Chronicles, which depicts alpha lycans and their human wolf maiden mates.

Sigurd, an alpha Norse wolfskin, son of Gunnolf the Red seeks revenge against shape shifting bearskins, Bork the Mad and his son, Mord the Blood Claw for the death of his parents and his older brother Guda. Orphaned, he has been raised by his older sister Brynhild, who convinces him to take a wolf maiden in order to increase their small pack. Despite the warning by Hungerd the wolf witch, he takes a farmer's new bride with tragic consequences. Alone he joins a long ship until the day he can avenge his pack's demise. Emelisse, a Frank wolf maiden, has been raised and educated in the classics, science, literature and languages by female lycans of the Lupercal. Born a runt with a weak heart her father has been overprotective. She refuses to be treated like a delicate vase and rebels by seeking out riding and falconry. Now at age eighteen Emelisse frets that her father wants her to accept Radulf III the Cruel, an alpha lycan of a pack of powerful warriors. She tries to run away with her human lover.

Viking werewolf, Sigurd rescues Emelisse, from the claws of the berserker bear men. He claims her as his ulf hexen or wolf maiden, but she wants to leave lycan society and live with humans. To complicate matters she has been called by her goddess Feronia to save the lycans from a dreaded disease. Their union is wrought with great peril in a world where werewolves must battle against their own kind as well as their fierce enemy, the berserker bear men. Will Emelisse accept Sigurd a foreign lycan as her alpha mate? Sigurd vows to protect her from their enemies but how can he save her before she dies from her ailing heart?

I just finished a Werewolf novel of my own, a bit of romance in it. The main focus was the on the people who became wolves, and the people who had to hunt them, rather than the werewolves themselves.
(Marc Vun Kannon 12:40pm September 15, 2009)

Very interesting post. I am fascinated by the wolf, love their howl, but do not think I could stay in the woods at night:) Went to your website and found it very interesting.
Wolves need to be protected..

What a lot of wonderful information about a creature that is both loved and abhorred. They really are beautiful and interesting animals.
(Joanne Reynolds 6:24am September 16, 2009)

(Sherry Strode 10:18am September 16, 2009)

Howlo all! Love hearing from all my fellow werewolf loving pack. Speaking of tattoos, all my wolf maidens have the mark of the wolf on their left hip.
(Eva Gordon 11:18am September 16, 2009)

Very cute greeting I love it.
No tattoos here but wolves and werewolves are very intriguing.:)

Actually, I have been glad to find some paranormal stories that involve something besides vampire. Werewolves fit that bill!
(Carol Gowett 1:52pm September 16, 2009)

LOVE Paranomal novels with WEREWOLVES, collect all I can find my TBR pile is about 50 books high and keeps growing with all I keep finding.

What an interesting post. I didn't know there was so much more to the wolf. Thank you for that information. I would love to read your book. A Scottish shapeshifter story is my kind of book.
(Armenia Fox 3:32pm September 16, 2009)

There is something absolutely fascinating about werewolves. I certainly appreciated all the information about wolves. I think that all creatures have a place on our world - in reality & fiction.
(Mary Preston 4:47pm September 16, 2009)

Eva loved your post today about wolves/werewolves. I too like one of your other fans got hooked on the paranormal while watching "Dark Shadows" at 13 and my town never allowed ownership of wolves within it's boundaries I had dogs. I was the alpha leader both growing up and after I got married. My spaniels Would stand at my side and growl baring teeth if anyone raised their voice to me and follow me EVERYWHERE even the bathroom! And I swear my last two spaniels spoke not barking or howling but English slurred like Scoobie Doo and I understood them. I now understand my kinship to them after your tale about wolves.
(Susan Lathen 5:00pm September 16, 2009)

I enjoy reading about werewolves, just finished Kissing Sin by Keri Arthur!
(Teresa Warner 5:11pm September 16, 2009)

When I was a little girl, maybe 4 or 5, my entire family, my mom, uncle, grandma and grandpa, was watching a werewolf movie and everyone but me fell asleep. I watched the entire movie, basically by myself, and was afraid to go to the bathroom by myself for at least a week! Better story, I got to go to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone for the first time last September. I was lucky enough to get to witness a pack of gorgeous wolves having dinner. The alpha male was solid black and utterly beautiful! His pack were all the gray, black, white wolves, but he was solid black. They took my breath away!
(Kelli Jo Calvert 5:41pm September 16, 2009)

Fascinating! I love wolves and werewolves. One of my favorite movies is the original Wolfman in black and white. My family and I went to a wolf howl in a sanctuary and my daughter then 3 was able to get the wolves to howl with her.
(Heather Hardy 6:06pm September 16, 2009)

I really enjoyed your post! I love werewolves and shapeshifters. I need to check out your books, they sound awesome.
(Denise Tobar 6:10pm September 16, 2009)

Wolves and werewolves have been around for a long time and both are amazing creatures, whether real or imagined.
(Deidre Durance 7:53pm September 16, 2009)

I like shapeshifters. In fact, we stayed at Forks Washington. A real Twilight experience!

I love werewolves.Shapeshifting/romance for me started when I watched LadyHawk the movie early one morning many years ago and I was hooked since.Your books are wonderful.They are as unique as the wolves themselves.I agree that the howl of the wolves at night is a sound like no other.Thanks for writing these awesome books.
(Debra McDonald 9:23pm September 16, 2009)

It all sounds so interesting! I'd love to become familiar with your books!
(MaryAnne Banks 9:34pm September 16, 2009)

(Cherie Japp 11:16pm September 16, 2009)

This contest is terrific and your books
sound terrific! I'll admit, I never was
much of a werewolf fan until recently--
Kelley Armstrong steered me right! Now
I enjoy reading about werewolves!
(Kimberly Bea 11:29pm September 16, 2009)

What an interesting lesson on wolves
and werewolves.
Unfortunately, the wolf is still
misunderstood and under attack. Our
environment needs the predators to
remain healthy.
(Patricia Barraclough 12:00pm September 17, 2009)

I love paranormal books. Keep them coming!!!
(Tammy Garcia 10:28pm September 19, 2009)
