~*Ancient Alpha Wolf a Free Read*~

I just finished writing a free read about a powerful werewolf shifter and his long lost soul mate.

Excerpt:

"Easy Zenavuk," a deep husky voice crooned. His voice, my blue wolf! Why I didn't recognize his presence, I do not know. Happiness engulfed me as I slipped from beneath the warmth of the furs, barely wincing as my feet hit the cold dirt floor. I ran to my wolf, flinging my arms around his massive waist, forcing a growl from his throat. The top of my head barely reached his chest, and I was forced to stand on my tip toes as I awaited his kiss; a kiss that ignited fire throughout my body, like hot, molton lava, providing me with warmth, finally!


"Why have you brought me here?" I asked him. "It's freezing, you know I do not like the cold."

"Didn't I just warm your bones?" My wolf asked in a deep, haunting voice, as he grasped my hand, leading me over to the large bed. "There is much you will get used to once you live here on a permanent basis," he said.

"Permanently?" I asked, raising a brow as another chill gripped my body, in spite of the warmth he just provided me with. "Do I not have a say in the matter?" I asked.

"We run out of time," my wolf said, folding his arms while taking on a strong stance, as though I would challenge him, and challenge him I would, I must, for he would take me into another realm, one in which I would not be equipped to handle just yet. "I yearn for you night and day Zenavuk. I've waited for you for centuries, now you are mine again. There will come a time when I can no longer access you through dreams, only your meditation, and tell me, where will that leave us?"

Ebook Piracy

Hello Everyone,


I wanted to take some time out focus on ebook piracy. I know the music and movie industry go through the same problems as we do. They also fight it. I do understand that his may be a losing battle, but I truly believe that something good can possibly come from this. I'm not having these feelings just because I'm a writer. I'm a reader as well, and never have I tried to obtain a book without buying directly from the publisher or third party sites. It really ticks me off that folks must find a way to cheat instead of paying $1-$10 or however much the ebook may cost.It's downright sickening.

Below are a few sites and a Cease and Desist form Lucinda Dugger of Copyright Alliance sent to me. As a writer, I urge you to join these groups to see what accomplishments can be made while standing up for our rights.

AuthorsAgainstEbooktheftYahoogroup and AuthorsAgainstCopyrightTheftYahooGroup.


Many sites have users who are actively seeking books to download for free. Unfortunately, I've seen numerous titles by fellow authors on a certain site. They are currently hunting for my book, Her Dark Desires, and I'm sure they'll find it, and my work will be up there, right along with other hard working authors.



As an author, we all know how many hours, weeks, and months it takes to write and polish a manuscript before sending it to a publisher. After that, there are many more hours invested for editing. After we pour our blood, sweat, and tears into these books, freeloaders come along and steal our work. Unacceptable.


If anyone has anymore valuable information regarding ebook piracy, please share. 


Thank you.
