This week I want to talk about a book that came out a little over a year ago.
First, The Basics:
The Cover:
The Back Cover:
When a scientist runs an experiment on three
separate college campuses that goes horribly wrong, several hundred students
find their lives altered forever. They must learn to adapt to their new lives
as Werewolves. Immediately after the incident a government program was put in
place to keep track of these unwitting subjects. After a year the program falls
apart as those in charge argue on how to proceed.
Without the programmers constantly looking over
their shoulders the werewolves have now started to organize themselves.
Creating their own hierarchy and alliances.
Jack is the Alpha of Pacific Northwest University's
pack F. He thought the government had finally taken a step back and let him and
the other Alphas run their packs. Recently, however, he has been hearing
rumblings about the programmers wanting to reinstate the program. He thought
they were just rumors until he finds out one of his pack is being threatened by
several of the lab assistants that took part in the original experiment. Now
Jack must scramble to find allies and hunt down those threatening his pack. The
more he goes looking the bigger the plot becomes.

Now a little bit about writing the book. I wrote most of it in about 9 months several years ago. It was the first book I ever finished. At the time I had 30+ stories on my laptop, so that was quite a feat. Berman's Wolves actually started with a dream I had. Toward the beginning of the book there is a multi-pack meeting. That whole scene was a dream I had. Once I woke up I wrote it down and it seemed to take on a life of its own. The more I wrote it became clear that this would be a series.
I have a love for a lot of the characters in this book because the whole premise is that this was done to them. They weren't born to it or chose it. To me that made them feel more vulnerable to the world around them. It makes me feel like I have to take care of them, walk them through this journey they are taking.
Each character seems to have their own set of trials and it became clear when I seriously started writing that to me this wasn't one story but several that were happening at the same time.
That is all I have for this week.
Happy Reading,
Gretchen
