Book Description:
Bradford Dalton and Jayla Stanton
are both shifters. Each has their own reason for not wanting to be in a
relationship with their own kind. Suddenly finding out that they are mates is a
shock to both of them. There’s no way in hell these work enemies will ever be
together.
Brad and Jayla are desperate to
find a way to coexist with their shifter sides. They just have to contend with
the fact they have sexual chemistry that is off the charts. Jayla can turn his
body to steel with just a smoldering look. Brad can make Jayla quiver in
anticipation with just one touch. You won’t hear either one of them complaining
about succumbing to their insatiable need for the other. Sure they can have hot
sex which knocks them on their ass, but that doesn’t mean they’ll ever fall for
the other. Right?
Excerpt:
Chapter One
Holding a stick of
gum between his thumb and index finger, Brad vigorously tapped it against his thigh
as if he were snuffing out a cigarette. Aware of his neurotic action, he
shifted in his seat and braced his elbows on the conference table. He resisted
the urge to pound his fists on it. With deliberate care he removed the gum from
the wrapper. While his gaze darted back and forth, scanning the scene before
him, he crinkled the thin scrap of shiny aluminum foil in his large hand. He
squeezed until his forearm started to cramp, then popped the gum in his mouth
and shoved the tiny piece of trash into his pocket.
Brad felt it would
be best today to distance himself from his colleagues. Secluded inside the
glass conference room, he found it easier to control his inner animal. He could
feel the urge to shift coursing through his veins. He needed to stay calm.

Interview
Where are you from? I am a military brat and I was
born in Honolulu Hawaii.
Tell us your latest news? My first novel His Wolf’s
Desire was released on April 12th of this year. And I am so excited
to be a published author.
When did you first consider yourself a writer? When my
sister thought I was crazy for always having my nose in my computer and hearing
the constant pecking noises coming from my keyboard. She asked me if I wanted
to be an author and I initially laughed at the idea. But then later on I had an
Ah-ha moment and realized what I thought was my weird little hobby (at that
point I was writing for my own enjoyment) was the actions of an author.
Do you have a specific writing style? Yes. Chaos… lol.
I jump from scene to scene, book to book, idea to idea. It’s crazy. But somehow
works for me.
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers
to grasp? Not so much a message. I just hope that they’re able to enjoy the
book for what it is… fantasy. Hopefully it’s a fun, sexy, sassy, sweet story
you can get lost in and enjoy for a few hours. Just like a movie only it
unfolds slower and has way more detail.
How much of the book is realistic? The relationships
are realistic. For instance, Jayla and Jasmine’s close relationship was
definitely influenced by the relationship I have with my sister. And the crazy
family shenanigans were easily a representation of my own family life.
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events
in your own life? Oh, I hope not. If they are I have some explaining to do lol.
It’s purely my over active imagination and my love for the paranormal worlds I’m
able to create.
If you had to choose, which writer would you consider
a mentor? Definitely Eve Vaughn. She has been so gracious with her time,
encouragement and advice.
What book are you reading now? I’m reading Untouchable
by Chelsea Brighton.
Are there any new authors that have grasped your
interest? Oh absolutely. Roxanne D. Howard is the author of At The Heart Of The
Stone and I absolutely love her writing style. And Chelsea Brighton, author of
Guide Me and Untouchable. They have made a fan for life out of me.
What are your current projects? Ummm… Do you want to
know about all 25 of them lol! My mind is crazy and is always jumping from one
idea to another. But I’m trying very hard to focus on a paranormal series that
I think is going to turn out fantastic.
What would you like my readers to know?
Well first of all thank you so much for interviewing
me. I had a lot of fun answering your questions. And I’d like your readers to
know I had so much fun writing His Wolf’s Desire. Brad and Jayla will always
hold a special place in my heart and I love their story. Brad is one of the
good guys, it just takes the love of a strong, feisty, spirited woman like
Jayla for those qualities to be coaxed out of him.
Thank you for stopping by and reading my interview and
checking out my book excerpt. I hope you enjoyed them both.
