<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Prologue</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">~Devin~</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Trees swept by Devin as he ran. Their gangly tendrils grasped at his clothes, tearing scratches at his skin. He almost welcomed it. The ache to have physical contact with something, anything, burned as a residual longing deep inside of him, but that was what the men wanted. They knew his touch would kill, and he would not fall to that level.<br />
<br />
It hurt, knowing he had to always stay away, but he refused to care. No one gave a crap about him anyway. The abuse and torture from Lament and his crew proved that was true, but they would not break him.<br />
<br />
He would not become their weapon. They could go to hell.<br />
<br />
The sound of footsteps moved behind him, and he quickened his pace, scrambling as best he could through the darkened branches. Sweat broke across his brow, and his lungs heaved for air. Even in the cool, night breeze, the gray tee shirt he wore clung to his chest, hot and damp. It had seemed like hours since he had broken free of Lament’s hell-hole prison of a lab, and he had no idea where he was headed. All he knew was that he had to run. He couldn’t live like that. He would not become a monster.<br />
<br />
If only he could find a way to blend in and hide amongst the canopy of darkness, perhaps the idiots would pass him by unseen. Maybe he could be free.<br />
<br />
He couldn’t go back. He would rather die.<br />
<br />
The crack of a broken branch sounded beside him. Before he could react, the bastard had a fistful of his hair. How’d he sneak up on him? He didn’t even see him. The man kicked Devin’s legs out from under him, and his cheek hit the damp ground with a rousing sting to his temple.<br />
<br />
A boot landed beside him.<br />
<br />
“You are a lot of trouble, boy.”<br />
<br />
Devin spat a mouthful of dirt, freeing his lips. “Screw you.”<br />
<br />
The steel-toed edge of the man’s boot hit his ribs, and he rolled to the side with a groan, clutching his chest, as white-hot shots of pain crippled him. Other men had approached—Devin’s guess, three. He couldn’t look. It hurt too much. He leaned his forehead down against the mucky mix of pine needles and rain soaked leaves covering the ground, praying they would just leave him alone. He didn’t want this. He’d been so close.<br />
<br />
“Bind him up and bring him back to the lab. Lament is going to be pissed,” Rib Impaler said.<br />
<br />
“What’s he want with the kid anyway?” another man asked.<br />
<br />
Rib Impaler didn’t answer, but Devin heard the steps of the others moving around him, coming closer. Panic rose in his chest. He wanted to lift his head, to warn them to stay away, but everything in his body ached with the memory of Rib Impaler’s metal boot tip. They couldn’t touch him. Didn’t Lament tell them that?<br />
<br />
<i>Please.</i><br />
<br />
Even now, crumpled up on the forest floor, he could feel the hot searing heat starting to rise on instinct, just under the surface of his skin. Scrambling despite the pain, he tried to get away, but Rib Impaler reminded him that he still had a chunk of his hair. With a swift tug, he yanked Devin to his feet and then tossed him toward the others. Devin stumbled forward and fell to his knees.<br />
<br />
“Stay away from me or you’re going to die,” he said, his voice raspy and choked. He wouldn’t look at them. “I don’t want to kill you.”<br />
<br />
He had no control over the energy that burned and consumed on contact. Why didn’t they know this? They worked for the bastard.<br />
<br />
The men chuckled, as if he were joking. It made him furious.<br />
<br />
“What, are you idiots?” He managed to say through his swollen lungs. “I’m serious. Why won’t you listen to me? Touch me, and you’re going to die. It’s not a choice.” Devin coughed and wheezed, the exertion on his bruised chest killing him. The sweat from running had cooled on his body, plastering his hair to his scalp, which itched, muddy with dirt. “Please, just listen to me,” he begged with a groan. It was all he had left in him.<br />
<br />
One of the men stepped forward, and Devin began to shake, his stomach clamping up, as he gritted his teeth, his body tensing into a rock. Time swirled into a dizzying sense of slow motion. He wanted to move, to run, but he couldn’t. He stared at one of the man’s hand as it extended toward him and encircled the bare skin of his wrist. Devin tried to scream, and maybe he did, but all he saw was the horrific, dull glow erupted just under where the man had touched.<br />
<br />
Oh God, please, no.<br />
<br />
The man’s eyes went wide as his lungs cried for air. His arm erupted into flame. Crackling, the fire licked its way up over the man’s flesh. Devin didn’t want to look. He squeezed his eyes tight as the man’s screams broke across the forest, but ultimately he could not look away. The man’s chest broke and his ribs collapsed, a small trail of blood trickling down his lips. Smoke billowed from his nose and mouth with the putrid scent of cooked flesh that made Devin want to hurl. The man convulsed twice as he burned from the inside out, doubled over, and then fell to the ground, dead.<br />

Hey Everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
I finally have some updated news on our lovely Book 2 to Caged Moon, <b>LUNAR PASSING</b>. I apologize for the delays. With a few stalled tie-ups with my other series coming out Feb. 8th, among several life issues, the release has been pushed back. As of this time, I do not have an official release date, but it looks like we are aiming for late March.<br />
<br />
<b>Good news:</b> the cover for <b>LUNAR PASSING</b> is now officially under way! I can't wait to show all of you. The amazing Sarah E. Melville, the original artist of Caged Moon, and Alpha Moon, is on the project - so it should be great. :) Be sure to check back for cover reveal information <i>very, very</i> soon! :)<br />

Hello, Everyone!</div>
<br />
Unfortunately, there is a slight delay on the release of The Prophecy do to my editor having found herself extra busy over the holidays with unforeseen things. It looks like it's going to be another two weeks, until I get it back from my editor. So, in order to give the novel apt time to go through the works, and be fully ready without anymore kinks, or unexpected delays, the release date is getting pushed to February 8th. I deeply apologize to everyone looking forward to reading the Prophecy. I guarantee you, it's worth the wait. ;)<br />

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Chapter 1</span></b></h2>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Rain pelted the glass windows of Liam’s Ford Mustang, and all it reminded me of was claws raking and scratching to get inside. Even with my hands tucked up inside the long sleeves of Liam’s jacket, the winter air gnawed at me with an unrelenting chill. My breath swirled visibly around my head, and the windows began to frost over. The weatherman said it would snow tonight. Ty sat beside me in the driver’s passenger seat, mirroring my attempt to repress the torture.<br />
<br />
“Maybe we should just turn the car on for one minute,” she said, her words short, and fragmented in the cold air.<br />
<br />
“We can’t.” My lower lip refused to move as I spoke, that entire portion of my face, numb. “They’ll hear us. You heard Liam.” Where was he? How long did it take to check out the trail. My gut sank. What if the men found him? Oh, God. I couldn’t tell if I shook from the thought, or if the cold did that.<br />
<br />
“We could shift,” Ty said, and I could hear the plea in her tone.<br />
<br />
“Don’t be crazy.” I shook my head, wishing I hadn’t worn a pony tail today so my hair would cover my ears, but I was too cold to move and fix that.<br />
<br />
“Nobody would know. We’d stay in the car.”<br />
<br />
I pulled my arms around my chest, trying to stay warm, the scent from Liam’s jacket keeping me sane. “We’re not shifting,” I demanded, the order coming from the wolf inside me. It made me cringe a little. Orders weren’t my thing, even though I was now technically, Alpha Female. Several months had passed, and it still made my head spin. The wolf in me seemed happy though, minus the fact that we were being hunted.<br />
<br />
Liam and Aaron may have pulled off the cover-up of a murder back in the early 1900s, but doing the same in this day and age, hadn’t quite worked as planned. Even though the guys had ‘taken care’ of the bodies Thomas had left behind, the police did finally catch up, linking the missing persons to the old farmhouse. Our prints were everywhere.<br />
<br />
If only they were the ones following us. They weren’t.<br />
<br />
What was taking Liam and Aaron so long?<br />
<br />
My wolf-self whined and twisted inside me. Liam had been right. Ever since my first change, she had melted with me, always alive now, just inside.<br />
<br />
“We can’t shift,” I said, regaining my focus on Ty, as I stared at the mist covered windshield. The rain rapped harder, and I wondered if it in fact had changed to hail. “If the men find us, and we are wolves, they will kill us.”<br />
<br />
“They’re going to kill us anyway,” she said, flopping her head down into her hands. “They’re insane. They know what we are.”<br />
<br />
“They don’t know that for sure,” I said, trying to stay calm for the both of us. Inside, I wanted to cry. “They’re just some crazed men with a VanHelsing complex. Some people take the media’s twisted rumors to heart, and go nuts.”<br />
<br />
“But they’re true,” she said with a rumble in her chest.<br />
<br />
“Only if you think they’re true….” Ty glared at me, and I winced. “Oh, fine, but come on. If we sit here acting like caged animals, we might as well wave a red flag at them.”<br />
<br />
“How can you be so calm?” she asked. Her thinly gloved fingers twisted, and fiddled with something in her lap. The edge of it caught the tiny hole in the seam of her thumb, and she flinched.<br />
<br />
“Trust me, I’m not.” My wolf wanted to rip this steering wheel off, and run off into the woods, yelping. I watched her. “Is that your necklace?”<br />
<br />
She nodded.<br />
<br />
“Why do you still have that? Isn’t the metal infused with bits of wolfsbane?”<br />
<br />
“Yeah, but it’s my dad’s. It was the only thing my mother had of his after he left us.” She had told me the story before, of her father disappearing one night when she was a ten. No one had seen, or heard from him since. “My mom wanted me to have it.” She shrugged. “I don’t know. It makes me feel closer to him, like he’s out there somewhere watching over me. I know it’s silly.” She gave a half chortled laugh, and pushed the necklace back into her pocket, zipping it closed.<br />
<br />
“It’s not silly.” I felt bad, and guilty. Both of my parents sat back in Maplefield, probably sick to death with worry, and here I was, running away without a word. Not that I had a choice. Swallowing the cold lump in my throat, I decided I would write them when we found somewhere safe to stop. They deserved to know I wasn’t dead…yet anyway.<br />
<br />
A heavy silence fell between us and I realized the rain had stopped. Unraveling the side window, I leaned out to feel the stilled change in the air. It had begun to snow<br />
.<br />
“I don’t like this,” Ty said. “They’ve been gone for half an hour, Charlotte.”<br />
<br />
“I know. Trust me, I know.” Where are you? I rolled the window up, and placed my palms against the glass, their heat marking my prints to the woods around us. I couldn’t see a thing. What if Aaron decided to do something stupid? The thought came quick, and my mind rushed back to the first time I saw Liam and him tangle in a death match. Oh, God. My trust of Aaron still scored at zilch, considering the way he manipulated Ty just to get to Liam and me, but I kept my mouth shut for Ty’s sake…at least for now. He had been playing ‘good’ since everything went down. Didn’t mean I trusted him.<br />
<br />
My cell rang, almost giving me a heart attack. “Liam?” I asked, and I heard Ty shift up in her seat to hear.<br />
<br />
“No, Steve,” the voice on the other end answered back. “Where are you guys? We got a motel room. East Dowan, off the Pike.”<br />
<br />
My heart sank, but the sound of Steve’s voice, made me feel at least a little safer. I was connected with the world. “Okay. I’ll tell Liam.”<br />
<br />
“Everything okay, Charlotte? You sound funny, and Liam’s not answering his cell. Aaron hasn’t gone to the dark side, or anything has he? Ow!” I heard shuffling in the background. “What? Knock it off, I’m on the phone, douche bags.”<br />
<br />
I turned my back to Ty, with a tight expression, trying to mute out the conversation to her. The look on her face told me she heard the comment about her boyfriend. At least I wasn’t the only one who didn’t trust Aaron. Steve was great, and a small inner part of me smiled. “Yeah, he left his cell here, and Aaron,” I lowered my voice, “doesn’t believe in technology.”<br />
<br />
“Because he’s a wolf!” Ty blurted out, grabbing the phone from me. “Look, Steve. If you have something to say, why don’t you say it to me yourself.”<br />
<br />
“Told ya,” I heard one of the guys on the other end say, with a chuckle. Flynt? Maybe. I couldn’t tell for sure.<br />
<br />
My head started to pound. Liam and Aaron should have been back by now, this was not the time for high school drama. The skin on my back began to ripple. My wolf wanted to get out, and I didn’t have much control yet, which scared me. “Guys, please,” I said with a groan. “This isn’t helping anything.”<br />
Snatching the phone back, I said, “We’ll call you later,” and then hung up.<br />
<br />
“Is that what everyone thinks?” Ty asked, and her voice broke. It almost looked like she might cry, her chest was shaking, although, considering all this weather, and the wolf thing, that could have been from a lot of things.<br />
<br />
My focus moved to the half frozen over windshield. Snow had begun to collect. “I think we should go look for them,” I said, changing the subject. I didn’t want to go into the Aaron thing right now.<br />
<br />
“What?” she asked, and this time I heard the faint clatter of her teeth. Good, it wasn’t tears.<br />
<br />
“What if they’re in trouble? We can’t just sit here, doing nothing.”<br />
<br />
Ty wrapped her arms around herself, giving her the appearance of a white ball of coat. “Aaron said to wait in the car…”<br />
<br />
“Do you always take orders from your boyfriend?” I blurted out, before I could take it back. Inwardly, I winced. I hadn’t meant it like that. Well, not exactly.<br />
<br />
She glared shards of death at me. “So you do hate him.”<br />
<br />
“Ty, that’s not what I meant. I don’t hate him.” I sighed. “I just think he has a way of manipulating you, that’s all. I worry about you.”<br />
<br />
“You don’t know…anything about him,” she said, her words chocking up, and she turned away from me, to face the woods outside her door. “He’s been hurt, so badly. He needs me.” The back of her neck, visible behind her coat, rippled with the threat of change.<br />
<br />
“Ty…”<br />
<br />
“I don’t care what you think. I love him, and if you care about me, you’ll respect my feelings.”<br />
<br />
My gaze dropped to my hands in my lap. It hurt, knowing I had to accept this, but I would. Ty was my best friend. I’d always be there for her no matter what, even if it killed me. If Aaron ended up hurting her, I’d be there to pick up the pieces. I wouldn’t lose her over this. “I’m sorry,” I said. “You love him, there must be something good about him.” A forced tight smirk lifted at the corner of my mouth, and her face softened.<br />
<br />
“Thanks.”<br />
<br />
“Find the boys?” I asked with a small smile, hoping to push this whole thing aside.<br />
<br />
“Yeah,” she said with a smile back, just as an earsplitting crack broke through the stilled night air. Glass rained down on us from the windshield, as I screamed, trying with a delayed effort, to duck, and block the affects of the shot with my arms.<br />
<br />
I couldn’t see, or think straight. Oh, my god. Oh, my god. Everything in me shook, and I freaked, flinging the driver’s side door open. My wolf wanted to run, had to run. My legs wouldn’t work, and I fell out of the car onto the wet, slushy snow. “Liam!” I screamed, my voice echoing around me off the bleak, naked trees.<br />
<br />
My wolf vision peeked, quickly scanning the area around me. The sounds of wet, sloshy footsteps moved just out of sight, and my heart raced the marathon of a lifetime. The change violently tried to break through in a desperate attempt to protect myself, but I fought it back, my body trembling. It hurt. I didn’t know what to do, completely frozen like a wild animal.<br />
<br />
Ty! Where was Ty?<br />
<br />
Sickening panic twisted my gut, and I forced myself to turn to Liam’s car. She wasn’t moving. Everything in me turned colder than the winter around me. No, no. Please no. Convincing my feet to move, I dug my toes into the damp mush, and pushed myself forward. I couldn’t think about the men closing in, the world around me a black void. “Ty?” I said, as I caught the edge of the open door with my frozen fingers, my voice a faint plea. The smell of salty iron hit my sensitized nose, and crimson bled through her thick white coat. “Ty!”<br />
<br />
Scrambling in, my jeans crunched against the shards of glass littering the front seats. They jabbed and cut at my skin, but I ignored the pain, reaching for my friend. When she turned her head to me, all the air I realized I had been holding, released.<br />
<br />
“I can’t move,” she said, and a tear rolled down her cheek.<br />
<br />
“I’m going to get you out of here. You hear me? You’re going to be okay.”<br />
<br />
“Charlotte,” she muttered.<br />
<br />
“Just stop,” I said, shaking my head, as I pulled my door shut with a squeaky clang. Several more loose pieces of glass dropped on my lap, but I leaned forward and started the engine. “You’re going to be fine. I’m going to get you to a hospital. We’ll call Steve…”<br />
<br />
Two large hands slammed down on the hood of the car, and I screamed, jumping back in my seat. The man toted a large rifle, smiled maliciously, and licked his lip as if he had found the golden goose. His pale blue eyes glinted, and then with one hand, he cocked his gun.<br />
<br />
Ty gasped. “Dad?”<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm sorry for the lack of updating on this blog the past few months. I promise, I have not died off the face of the planet, nor done something absolutely ridiculous, like stopped writing.<i> Not. At. All</i>. In fact, I will be revealing a novel surprise (no pun intended ;P ) very shortly. Not only is Lunar Passing still on schedule for release this winter, the beginning of a new series of mine, (working title) "The Star Children," will be coming out as well. I will be posting more details on this exciting venture of mine, very soon. So, please keep your eyes out for many thrilling things to come in just the next few months!!<br />
<br />
I know a lot of writers are getting ready, and talking about NANO (National Novel Writing Month) beginning the 1st of November, where these crazy people glue themselves to their computers for the entire month, ignoring everything happening around them in society in order to try to meet a 30,000 word writing goal. No, I'm not doing this, considering <strike>I'm sane</strike> my prior writing engagements I'm already working on, and those goals I need to meet, but I did want to give out a great word of encouragement to all those out there <strike>that are insane</strike> that are tackling this fun, challenging adventure. ;) Honestly, I'm super psyched for you guys, and WANT UPDATES. :D<br />
<br />
Best of luck to all NANO Writers this year.<br />
<br />

This pic was the closest to whom I see as Liam in my head. He's got that messy ashy blond hair, intense good looks that fit sort of that werewolf image, but you can also envision him having the best smirky smile too if he wanted to. He's even got the jacket. The only thing missing is the green eyes. ;) I LOVE it!</div>

Hi, everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Just for fun, let's have a little contest. Email me an actor look-alike of who you think would play the best Liam if this were a film. Anyone who sends a dream cast pic to <a href="mailto:shiverfae1@yahoo.com">shiverfae1@yahoo.com</a> will be given a FREE 8 1/2 X 11 sized signed poster of CAGED MOON. This poster giveaway will last until next Wednesday, 6/27. All dream cast pics will be posted on that day in a follow up Poster Giveaway Post, where I'll rank my top pics from the group. Everyone who enters, will get a poster though. :D </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Let's have some fun!!</div>

A novella from the male character's POV in Caged
Moon.<br /><br /><br />Tormented by a repressed past, Liam is faced with the
responsibility of raising, and taking care of a pack of younger, obnoxious
‘pups’. He’d do anything for them; guilt from prior mistakes, driving him to
protect them at any cost. Until a strange human girl, bearing the scent of a
wolf, throws his world into chaos. Instinct says she’s his mate. Logic says
she’s a danger to the pack. Curiosity can’t keep him away.<br /><br /><br />Revisit
the YA Paranormal Romance, Caged Moon, through an all new
perspective.</div>
