Hey y’all! It’s day #8 of the
Countdown to Trouble. For each day I’m going to post something about the novel.
It may just be a pic that helped me along while writing it, or it may be more. You’ll have to keep
checking, lol. Especially this Friday. *wink*
Today I’m talking about:
~Unfinished matings –
Unfinished
mating – It’s very deadly. If the mating isn’t finished in a certain length of
time, the shifter will die. Warning signals: Pain is the first sign. Horrible
pain, like being broken into tiny pieces slowly. No idea why.
Next the shifter stops
sleeping and eating. After that, the voices start. Finally, the shifter spirals
into madness and goes feral. At this point, they’d shift and stay shifted. They
look and behave like rabid animals. Their humanity would be gone by now. Someone
would have to take the shifters life to end his suffering.
In Trouble, I dealt with the
issue of Tal starting the mating process without permission from Kirk.*laugh*
It got me a dub con tag, which I guess I should’ve seen coming. But the fact
is, life is rarely pretty and tidy. Shit happens. Sometimes bad shit happens,
as we all know. People don’t always act as they know they should, or they don’t
stop to think.
We don’t live in a perfect
world.
Then throw in the urge to mate
with hormones fluctuating wildly on top of an Omegas need to obey his mate and
well… shit happens, lol. Now they have to deal with the repercussions of their actions.
Blurb: A snowstorm in the
South—on New Year’s Eve—is a perfect recipe for a catastrophe. After two
soul-crushing bad breaks, Kirk’s waiting for disaster number three to strike
when, naturally, two stray cats arrive on his doorstep during the storm and
decide to make themselves at home. Tenderhearted Kirk lets them stay even though
there’s something decidedly odd about his overly friendly felines.
Out of the punishing weather and full of tuna, Dolf and Tal are happy to
be snug in Kirk’s house. But then their human goes outside for firewood and
suffers a nasty fall that leaves him unconscious. Now the two cats have no
choice but to reveal themselves.
Kirk wakes up to find the two kitties are actually Dolf and Tal. They’re
cat shifters—and his destined mates. Being part of a feline threesome is enough
for Kirk to grapple with, but soon he learns they come from a clowder that
doesn’t believe humans and shifters should mix. Kirk knew those two cats would
be trouble. Little does he know the real trouble lies ahead.
