An Introduction to the Redwood Pack World

            Every time I open a book to read I get to jump into a new world. When I started writing, I was so excited because I got to make up my own world. The Redwood Pack is an ancient Pack of wolves who hide their animal halves from the unsuspecting humans.

            In each Pack there are different hierarchies. Not all Packs are the same. Not all positions and powers in the Pack are known to the other Packs.

            In the Redwoods there are certain positions and most of them surround the Alpha’s family—the Jamensons.

            Edward Jamenson is the Alpha, their leader. He and his wife Pat, have six sons and one daughter. Kade, the eldest son, is the Heir, the next in line to be Alpha. His story was told in book 1 of the series, An Alpha’s Path. You see, it started with a blind date that turned into something more with Melanie.

Jasper is the second son and the Beta. His story is told in A Taste for a Mate. His story with Jasper brought out the entire world of darkness with the Central’s war.

            Adam is the fourth oldest and is the Enforcer. He went through so much before this series started that in his book, Enforcer’s Redemption (Book 4) that it literally took it all out of me and readers to get through it. But he found his mate in Bay.

Reed is the fourth eldest and doesn’t hold a position in the Pack outside of being a family member. He is though, in a relationship with Josh and Hannah. He loves them both and literally went through hell to keep them in Trinity Bound.

Maddox and North are twins and next in age. Maddox is the Omega, while North does not hold a position. Maddox and North have been within each story line and now Maddox has his story FINALLY with Ellie in Shattered Emotions. North will have his soon as well, but now it’s Maddox’s turn.

Cailin is the baby and the only girl. Her mate will have to be someone strong as hell to deal with her feisty attitude.

            My Jamensons are werewolves. They have two souls – one of man and one of wolf. They work hard for control, but are inherently good. But the Jamensons aren’t the only wolves out there. There is another Pack bent on destroying all that the Redwoods hold dear. It will take everything they have and every power they possess to save themselves and the humans.

            Each sibling will find their mate or mates J and do all that they can to keep them. There is love, heat, *ahem* sex, fighting, sorrow and happiness. Everything that I love to read. LOL I love making new worlds and finding secrets.

            The Redwood World is dark, twisty, hot, feisty, and full of secrets. I can’t wait for you to indulge.

Shattered Emotions

Maddox Jamenson is the Omega of the Redwood Pack, the one burdened by emotions stronger than his own. He’s spent his entire life shrouded in the secrets of his “gift” and the price he has to pay to keep it, yet the cost just escalated. He’s known a mate could be in the cards for him, but he can’t have what he wants. Not when the battles he has yet to fight could destroy her.

Ellie Reyes was the Central’s princess, the daughter of the most hated Alpha of all time, yet not prized. No, she’s spent her life as the toy of her brother’s sadistic torture and has endured a pain that no one else should have to even contemplate. Though when she’s rescued, the one person who could help her, her mate, turns his back on her for reasons unknown to her. As each day passes, the strength that everyone sees in her dwindles to a point that there may be no coming back from.

When the Centrals find a new way to attack, leaving Ellie’s only protection a mate that she doesn’t think wants her, they’ll both have to overcome their fears and fight for something stronger than their pain.  The war isn’t over and new players are coming that will decide the outcome. Maddox and Ellie’s connection will be tested even as their fragile bond is only newly forming.

Excerpt: 

Ellie Reyes gripped Maddox’s hand as tight as she could. Yes, it was the first time he’d voluntary touched her since he’d picked her up out of the back of the Jeep when they’d first met, but, honestly, that wasn’t important now.

She’d think about the calloused hands of a hard worker—one who helped his Pack and brothers, not necessarily in his job—and how they would feel against her skin. She’d think about what it all meant later.

Maybe later she could even relish his touch and imagine the scents of wolf and forest washing over her.

Later.

Right now, all she wanted to do was hide in a corner so the others would stop staring at her. Or, she could raise her chin at them all and show them they couldn’t hurt her. Her wolf whimpered at the thought, not knowing if that were possible. She didn’t know if she was broken or strong anymore.

She’d been hurt far more than they could ever imagine. They had no idea what she could endure. Oh, they’d all guessed and given her their pitying looks, but they didn’t know.

They couldn’t know.
