coming November 29th
What happens when an author loses her muse?
After waiting ages for their stories to be
turned into a series, paranormals from the worlds of Stormy Glenn's imagination
accept invitations to attend The Stormy Glenn Convention. Between attending
classes on interspecies mating and learning how to control their inner growl,
they hope to convince the author to write the next story in their saga
When tragedy strikes and Stormy Glenn's muse
goes missing, it's up to the characters she created to solve the mystery and
bring back the voices in her head. Without her muse, their stories may never be
told.
STORY EXCERPT
"I'm so
excited."
Memphis
chuckled as he glanced briefly at his mate. "I can tell. You're about to
vibrate right out of your seat."
Eyes as blue as
the ocean and rimmed with the darkest kohl blinked up at Memphis with a
brilliance that still had the ability to steal his breath. "Don't you
understand? Stormy Glenn is going to be there. We finally get to meet her, like
in person."
"Honey,
there are going to be a lot of people at this convention. She may not have time
to meet with everyone." Memphis hated to burst his mate's bubble, but if
someone didn't pull Harper's feet back down to the ground, the guy was going to
float away.
"She'll
want to meet Bristol," Harper said with more confidence than Memphis was
feeling. "Stormy loves babies. She had six of her own, you know."
At the mere
mention of his infant son, Memphis glanced in the rear view mirror so he could
see the baby sleeping peacefully in the backseat of the car. Harper was his
mate, his love, his reason for living. Bristol was his pride and joy, his
reason for being a strong alpha.
The six month
old infant was a chip off the furry old block. Most days, Memphis just sat and
stared at his son with a sense of wonder. Having Harper in his life was a gift
from the gods. Having Bristol was a freaking miracle, especially considering
Harper had given birth to Bristol, and Harper was a man.
After being
bitten ten years before and turned into a werewolf, Memphis thought he had
experienced all that was paranormal in the world. After accidentally mating
Harper and getting him pregnant, Memphis had learned that there was a lot in
the world he had no clue about.
But he wasn't
sorry, not one damn bit. He loved both Harper and Bristol more than his next
breath. They had given meaning to his bleak existence as a werewolf. More than
that, they had given him unconditional love and acceptance. They gave him a
home.
Memphis smiled
as he went back to watching out the front window of the car. He supposed he did
have a little to thank Stormy Glenn for. Her muse had created a world where
Memphis would go through hell, but discover his own little bit of heaven along
the way.
"Oh snap,
I broke a nail." Harper dug in his bag and pulled out a nail file. He
started buffing one of his manicured fingernails.
Memphis shook
his head as a chuckle rumbled through him. Now, if he could just get his little
diva to sit still long enough for them to reach the remote resort where the
first annual Stormy Glenn Convention was being held.
"Do you
think they have a beauty salon at the resort?"
"They do,
imp. I already checked."
Memphis smiled
when Harper leaned over and pressed a kiss to his cheek. "And that's why I
love you."
Memphis
snorted. "That is not why you love me."
"True,"
Harper said as he slid his hand down to Memphis's zipper. "But I didn't
want to say that in front of the baby. You know how good his hearing is."
He did. Memphis
had been cock blocked by a crying baby more than once in the last six months.
"You know, we could have left him with my parents and turned this into a
little romantic vacation for two."
He had
suggested it.
"The
invitation said you, me, and Bristol."
Which was why
his suggestion had been vetoed.
Memphis thought
Harper was going to lose his mind when the invitation to the convention arrived
in the mail. He had talked of nothing else for weeks. He was so excited he
looked ready to burst.
Memphis had to
admit he was intrigued as well. It wasn't every day you were invited to meet
the author that created you and your world, and then told your story. There was
a part of him that wanted to know how Ms. Glenn had conceived of the idea to
write his tale. His wasn't the usual werewolf shifter story.
He also wanted
to ask Ms. Glenn why she had left everything such a mystery. It would have been
nice to know he wouldn't attack Harper once he mated him. That thought had
terrified him and almost cost him the most precious thing in his life—his
family.
He'd also like
to know when his pack mates were going to get their story. Jackson and Truman
were waiting for their story to be told, and Jackson was growing a bit growlier
with each passing day. If words weren't written soon, Memphis feared what the
other werewolf would do.
Truman wasn't
much better.
If Harper was
the queen of divas, then Truman was the princess. Together, the two flighty men
kept Memphis and Jackson on their toes. Of course, Memphis wouldn't have it any
other way and he doubted Jackson would either.
Still, it would
be nice to find out what the future held for Jackson and Truman. The curiosity
was killing him.
"Oh my
god, would you look at that place." Pure awe laced Harper's voice when
they rounded the bend and the exclusive resort came into view.
Memphis had to
admit Harper was right in his astonishment. An exclusive and remote resort in
the Pacific Northwest gave him visions of a rustic lodge or something. He never
dreamed the place would be an actual castle.
Only Stormy
Glenn could come up with something like this. She probably dreamed it up in her
imagination and plopped it down in the middle of the Cascade Mountains. The
sandy colored stone castle looked as if it had been there hundreds of years,
which was impossible considering how long the United States had been an actual
country.
Memphis pulled
the car into the line of vehicle moving toward the entrance. One by one, they
were being met by the valets and unloaded. Memphis was actually kind of
surprised at how many people had shown up for the convention. He hadn't
realized Stormy had that many characters running around in her imagination.
"Deep
breath, Imp," Memphis said as he settled his hand on Harper's bouncing
leg.
"I gotta
pee."
Of course he
did.
"There's
only two cars ahead of us. We'll be there in a minute."
"Did you
get a chance to look at the brochure that came with the invitation?"
Harper asked as he went digging into his bag again. "I signed us up for
several of the courses they are offering."
Memphis barely
suppressed his groan. "What courses?"
"There's a
really great one on interspecies mating that I think we should both attend and
then there's one on how to control your inner growl." Harper gave him a
pointed look. "That one is all for you."
Memphis cocked
an eyebrow. "I thought you liked my inner growl."
Harper's eyes
shot to the backseat before moving to Memphis. "I do, but sometimes you
growl when we're out in public. If anyone heard you..."
Memphis snorted.
"You mean if anyone knew how hard your dick gets when I growl..."
Harper grinned.
"That too."
"Maybe you
should attend the course with me."
Harper shook
his head. "It's for growlers only."
Memphis rolled
his eyes. Freaking fantastic.
