Consigned to a
life without his soulmate, who died 400 years ago and can no longer reincarnate,
Hamish has lived the life of a satellite werewolf, always on the fringe of
society.
A former
policewoman who fled the force due to her ability to read minds, Desiree has
taken refuge in the wilderness of Colorado. Now a Forester, she finds herself
under attack. When a wolf kills the men attacking her, she locks him into a
cage, unaware that it's a werewolf in his wolf form.
Destined to be
together, Hamish and Desiree are torn apart as his past comes knocking. Now
Desiree must overcome his past and learn the truth of her own nature.
Hamish blinked at her. "Stand behind a chair?"
"Are you a nudist or something?" she blurted at him.
"You're naked! Go stand behind a chair or sit down or whatever! I don't
think my clothes will fit you." She turned bright pink and turned away
from him.
Of course she was uncomfortable, he realized. She was a human,
and humans didn't do 'naked' well. He sat down, sprawling comfortably in a
chair. Healed and having eaten his fill as a wolf, he was comfortable now. As
comfortable as he could be in a house filled with the scent of clean, beautiful
woman.
"So weren't you shot?" she asked him, as if reading
his mind.
Shifting uneasily at the thought, he said, "I was. When I
shift under the full moon, it heals me fully, no matter what damage I've
sustained. If I live during the full moon and am touched by its rays, I will be
entirely whole when I shift and after."
"So...werewolves? When will the great announcement of your
existence be?" She was speaking indirectly of the vampires admitting their
existence to humans now that they believed they wouldn't be hunted down and
killed on supposedly false premises.
"Never. We have no desire to experience the persecution the
vampires have opened themselves up to. You can never speak to anyone of my
existence. If you do not feel you can keep the secret, then I can have the
memory removed for you."
"Persecution?" She positively bristled as she faced
him. "How can you call that persecution? They enjoy the same rights as
humans! Their blood drinking is now protected by law. Where's the
persecution?"
"They had the same rights as humans before when everyone
thought they were humans," he told her, watching her pace in agitation,
her hands trembling on the cup of coffee she held. "But now they are
hunted again by extremist groups, where before that when no one thought they
were real anymore, they were safe."
"Well, that's absurd," she snapped at him.
He watched her run her hand through her hair and felt the
attraction he had for her go into overdrive. He scooted the chair in and leaned
against the table to hide it. No wonder humans felt so uncomfortable while
naked. It wouldn't be so bad if they were both naked and if they knew each
other better, but as it was...
He dragged his mind, kicking and screaming, back to the subject.
"Not as absurd as you might think. Only humans really have human rights in
the eyes of humans. Vampires aren't even allowed to marry or to own their own
homes or businesses."
"Really?" She shook her head. "I didn't know
that."

Supernaturals Now
Book 2
Ivory hates life. She
was entombed in magic for hundreds of years, enduring isolation and hopelessness
thanks to her mother. When she emerges, she finds herself on the verge of
insanity. The world has changed and all she knows is what she's heard or seen
while people thought her to be only a statue.
Only one person remains
with her through it all, the gargoyle, Lincoln. Raised for the last years of
her life as a human woman by her mother, a dryad, Ivory has come to believe
that she is special, unique, and important. More importantly, the entire time
that she was a statue, she had believed that Lincoln loved her and was devoted
to her.
When he doesn't declare
his love, and seems distant, Ivory shuts down.
If
Lincoln can't help her to see that what makes her special is her heart, not her
beauty, she will become the vessel of annihilation for all the races of Earth.
If she realizes that love is more than servitude, she will become one of the
greatest gifts in the fight against the encroaching evil
Shannon Phoenix always wrote stories. She watched
the characters take on their lives within her mind, and began to write down
what they were doing. She would write the stories and then let them go. But a
few years ago, she got caught writing those stories. You know... those stories.
To her surprise,
the person who found her stories loved her characters as much as Shannon did.
She tentatively allowed others to read the stories, as well, and it was from
that first foray into the scary world of letting others read her 'little tales'
that Shannon Phoenix Books was born.
Shannon lives in
New Hampshire with her husband, her daughter, and their family cat. Her full
time job is parenting, her part time job is as a mother's helper to a family
friend, and her passion is letting the characters in her mind out on paper--or
keyboard, as the case may be.
Welcome to
Shannon Phoenix's Books. May you find the magic in your own life.
