Lycan Society: Where it all began

Image
I mentioned in my earlier post that I began writing werewolf novels because after reading a novel with a vampire lover, I realized that I was Team Jacob.  I couldn't imagine getting busy an ice cold...well, you know.  BRR! I much prefer warm and snuggly over cold and dead.  But hey, that's just me. Inspired by that, I asked myself how a Lycan/werewolf story would go, and my imagination took off.   It began with the idea that twin brothers, Michael and Mitchell, who were living in Portland, Oregon a few years after the pandemic.  The Discovery had already been made and many Lycan were struggling with discrimination, so many people of Lycan ancestry were still living in secret.   Rival packs stir up trouble while Michael reveals something about Mitchell's long-time girlfriend, leading to a betrayal that could tear them apart.

It Happened One Flight

Image
Another stand-alone romance, this novel is one that explores forced proximity, small town, celebrity status, and a little touch of ESP. While she was at University, 1500 miles from home, Matilda got the bad news that her Gran had passed away just a couple weeks before the Christmas holidays. With little money to travel home, she raced to the airport to try to get back to Minnesota as quickly and as cheaply as possible. An unexpected upgrade threw her into the path she never anticipated. After days of enduring his grueling schedule, actor-singer-songwriter-entertainer legend Jason Lander found that his charter flight was grounded due to mechanical issues and forced to take a domestic flight to Minneapolis from Seattle. He boarded the late-night flight and ended up sitting next to a beautiful University student who did was almost no one did--treated him like a regular guy. Grabbing a cab together, they found themselves trapped in the blizzard of the century on her family's homestead ...

The Ninth Circle

Image
 As St. Patrick's Day is today, I present to you the most recent published stand-alone novel, The Ninth Circle.  It embraces the themes of second chance, why choose, and a bit of spice! This story is LOOSELY (and I mean really loosely) based on Dante's Inferno, in that I borrowed heavily on the character names and their attributes, but it is a modern story based in the south side of Chicago.  Many of the characters are of Irish descent, and they hang out at a place called O'Doran's Pub.   Dante owned the most notorious club in the South Chicago area. The speakeasy on the first floor was a popular bar and restaurant with prohibition-themed drinks and specials. The second floor had a strip club. The third through fifth floors...well, things just got spicier. Once a year, they hosted an auction, and this was the 4th annual. It was already expected to be a huge hit, until candidate number 8 walked on stage. He knew her. He saved her life six years before. And he had...

A Blog or a Newsletter?

Dearest Gentle Reader-- Just kidding. Hello! I wondered what the difference was between publishing on a blog, or writing what authors are now calling a newsletter?  It seems to amount to the same thing.  So I will begin my author blog here and call it a newsletter.   A Blewsletter.  A Newsblog.   Whatever we call it, I decided that after hitting the 'submit' button more than two dozen times on Kindle Direct Publishing, I figured it was about time to create a blog to keep you up to date on what I'm doing on the writing front.  I don't know if I'll publish something once a week or once a month, or only when I release a new novel.  Time will tell.  And maybe it'll change over time. For the last several months, I have been posting on the Facebook page (which you can find here:  https://www.facebook.com/kaylee.patterson.219375/ ) but if you're not ON Facebook, then this is another option to follow me for updates. I will create a post her...
