Since I started yesterday’s post with a note about how Lynn Flewelling and I met, I thought I’d start today off with the same about Karen Whiddon. Karen and I met years ago at a writing conference, which ties in perfectly with the piece I did for our recent Knight Agency newsletter. (I believe it was Dreamin’ in Dallas or maybe Desert Dreams, but I could be wrong.) Karen was already published at that point. She’d written a few novels for Kensington and had her first paranormal romance, POWERFUL MAGIC, out from Leisure Books. She was looking for an agent to build on the career that was already underway. I left there with a copy of POWERFUL MAGIC, a very good impression of a professional, put-together writer, and motivation to read. POWERFUL MAGIC hooked me right away, and many, many books later, Karen and I are still going strong.
Karen’s latest Pack novel (werewolves and so much more!) is THE WOLF SIREN, out solo in digital (ex. Kindle and Nook) and combined in mass market with Bonnie Vanak’s DEMON WOLF, which is what Harlequin Nocturne is now doing for print – bundling two books together into one attractive package. Cover and copy are below.
THE WOLF SIREN by Karen Whiddon (Harlequin Nocturne)
When a werewolf and the beautiful siren he once saved meet again, resistance is futile…
As Pack Protector, Kane McGraw never gets involved with the victims he saves. But Lilly Gideon may be the one exception. She has intrigued him ever since he helped free her from a religious compound called Sanctuary. So when he learns that she’s still in danger, he can’t stay away—not even if it means exposing Lilly to the fanatics she’s trying to escape.
Years of psychological torture have left Lilly without the ability to control her shifter nature. Any man she touches is driven mad by an all-consuming desire. Though she wants Kane more than any man, she’s forced to deny him the release they most crave. That is, until he decides it’s time to take matters—and her—into his own hands….
