Reluctant to be a Pack Alpha, Micah Keeps Vigil has no hesitation about what he wants in a mate. A strong, intelligent, passionate and, most importantly, shifter female. He's found her in photojournalist Olivia. She's come to Micah's lodge to write about winter sports.
Olivia isn't expecting a gorgeous man who encourages her wilder nature with a sizzling erotic encounter in her room. Nor does she anticipate the amount of steam they generate in the sauna. With Micah's hot body and Olivia's innate sensuality they generate enough heat to melt the snow around the lodge.
One problem--Olivia isn't aware she's a shifter. She believes her vivid dreams are just that--dreams--and that her blackouts can be controlled with medication. There's no way she's been running through the woods on four feet! Micah has to convince Olivia to accept herself--paws and all--or lose her forever.

Book two in the Lusting Wild series, Changing Hearts released in print on Tuesday.
It just got hotter on the bayou. Louisiana has never been this steamy!
When injured shapeshifter Malcolm, an Alpha running for his life, meets Cajun faith-healer Joie, their fates collide. Human to his wolf, she prefers dealing with the animals because animals love you unconditionally.
Malcolm believes love is for weaklings and he can't afford to be weak. Hunted by his own Pack and having to face his own demons, he doesn't have time to cater to the sensitive feelings of a human female. Or the lust boiling between them. Still...there's something about this female that turns him inside out. Can Joie tame this predator in bed and out?

You can check out a recent radio interview with Terry Kate where I (okay, we) discuss some of our favorite TV shows like Warehouse 13 and True Blood. Did you know one half of Marilu did not watch the True Blood Season Two finale? WHAT? And which one likes steampunk stuff? Find out here!
We also did an interview with JK Coi who asked us some really entertaining questions! See what we said about each other!
What do you want to know about Marilu? Ask a question! We'll answer as many as we can in the October issue and one person will win a mug (and a little lagniappe too!)
A Little
Taste of Akron, OH
Richfield, near Akron, OH, will play host to romance readers and the authors they love when Romanticon 2009 hits town in October. If you are going, you might want to check out the Hower House at the University of Akron. Built in 1870, it is purported to be haunted by a female spirit. She seems to not like men so much because they have reported the most eerie experiences. I like to think she just wants them to wipe their muddy boots off.
JOIE'S JAMBALAYA
Joie Landry is the heroine from Changing Hearts. Here is her crowd-pleasin' Jambalaya.
(This recipe makes a BIG pot of Jambalaya, but if you're feeding a hungry crowd of shifters, I 'spect you'd better add a bit more of everything. It might look complicated, but I promise it's not!!)
Ingredients:
1 T olive oil
1 C skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - chopped into bite sized pieces
1/2 LB pork sausage links, thinly sliced
1 C olive oil
1 C all-purpose flour
2 T minced garlic
3 Quarts chicken broth
1 (12 oz) Bottle of beer (I use dark beer cause that's what Malcolm likes to drink--he says the dark beer gives it a "thicker" taste)
3 stalks celery, diced
4 Roma tomatoes (plum) diced
1 sweet onion sliced
1 (10 oz) can tomatoes with green chili peppers, with liquid
2 T chopped fresh red chili peppers
1 bunch fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 C Cajun Seasoning (we use Tony Chachere's, but honey, you use whatever you want)
1 LB shrimp, peeled, & de-veined
DIRECTIONS:
Carefully pour the chicken broth and beer into the roux, stirring constantly. There will be a lot of steam and hissing, but keep stirring. Bring this to a boil and then add your chopped veggies. Reduce the heat, cover, and let sit for about 40 minutes. Stir it every now and then.
For the final step, add the chicken and sausage and (if you want it) the shrimp. It's very important that you don't add the shrimp any earlier or they'll get too tough to eat. Simmer for about 20 minutes and serve with rice. Cornbread makes a nice accompaniment to this as well.
