Paranormal - Supernatural
Years of research into the world of wolves combines with
mythical tale-telling to present a fantastical adventure set
in a world filled with lore. The rules of the Wide Valley
wolves were clear: Never consort with humans; never kill a
human unprovoked; never allow a mixed-blood wolf to live.
But they were rules destined to be broken. Now, in the second riveting installment of The Wolf
Chronicles the stakes are higher than ever. Young Kaala of
the Swift River pack shattered the rules of the valley and
exposed the lies hidden beneath them. Now, responsibility
for the consequences rests with her. Along with her young
packmates and the humans they have befriended, she must find
a way for the wolves and humans of the Wide Valley to live
in harmony. If they succeed, Kaala will finally prove
herself worthy of her pack. But if she fails, the
Greatwolves who rule wolf-kind will kill every wolf and
human in the valley. Told from the wolf ’s point-of-view and set 14,000 years ago
in a time when the cultures of wolves and humans were not so
different, Secrets of the Wolves transports us to a
world where instincts are our only compass and cooperation
between potential enemies could mean the difference between
life and death.

Re: Secrets Of The Wolves
Dorothy - I don't know where to begin with my comments!! First I want to thank you for coming and sharing your story today. I love the picture of you with the wolves. They're beautiful creatures, and I'd love to wrap my arms around them!! I absolutely loved reading your story, and can't wait to read your books. I'm sure that I'm going to really enjoy reading them - first because I'm an animal lover, and second, because I'm more of a dog person than I am a cat person. Thank you for doing all of the extra research that you did to make the books possible. I'm sure they will have an impact on my life as they did on yours.

Dorothy - love Kaala's story. Is there a release date for the final book in The Wolf Chronicles trilogy?
(Mary C 6:22pm September 24, 2011)
Can't wait to read your new book. Thanks for writing the story of Kaala.

Wow! What a truly fascinating concept! I suppose that others may have written books about the beginnings of life on earth--at least I think that the People of...series by the Gears, which I have somewhere in storage, goes back several 100s or 1000s of years--but I still haven't read them. So your books will take historical fiction to a whole other level for me. I didn't know about your first book, so I shall be looking for it in the library first.
Thanks for letting us know how much your writing of the wolves' stories also changed you. And that you went to France to see the cave paintings. Were those the Lascaux paintings? If so, a friend and I tried to see those 35 years ago, but weren't able to because of preservation issues. Lucky you.

Thanks so much for your comments! Peggy, wolves are truly amazing animals, and I feel so privileged to write about them, and so fortunate that my writing has given me the opportunity to meet some! Mary, I'm so glad you've enjoyed Kaala's books. Book Three is under construction, and I'll keep everyone updated as to its progress. Robin, I hope you enjoy! Sigrun, thank you for reading the post! I was not able to see the paintings at Lascaux (there's a wonderful reproduction, though). The paintings I saw were at Les Eyzies in the Dordogne Valley.

I like reading about wolves, their heirarchy or order in packs and the way they manage their territory.

Wolves are such beautiful creatures. I love the ones they had on the show True Blood. The white ones are my favorite. I love wolves in books also. This is a new author for me and am always looking for new books and authors to read.

Ever since being a little girl, I have loved wolves. As I look around my living room, I am looking at wolf pictures- always two together (they mate for life). When I am down, in my dreams, my wolves are there. If there might be danger, my wolves warn me. They are my Spirit animal. Oddly though, I have never read about any! I love this pic of you with the wolves...I would love to do that, and just once pet some & just look one in the eye (bucket list item). I hope to win your book and begin a new adventure!
