Their secret has been safe for hundreds of years, a legacy and legend that has been carefully kept by six guardians. They are known as the Keepers. But before the legend of the Keepers—came the Wolf.

Once upon a time, there lived a man whose fate would rest with two sisters. One will hold his heart. With her, he discovers a love that will last forever, though it will come with a price.

From the other sister, he will learn fortitude as he discovers that she holds the power to destroy all he holds dear. For as easily as one sister captures his heart, the other has found the way to trap his soul.

EXCERPT

One mountain stood off in the distance. Its peak was the highest. It grazed the heavens. It was the closest point that he could get to his love, now in the inky, deep black sky. It seemed it would be the perfect place to make his presence—and his demands—known. The trip up the mountain took a great deal of the night, his strength had waned, but anger and determination pushed him up to the giant boulder, far above, jutting out into the night air. The moon was beyond his reach—so close, yet, so far away. Swift Foot stood on the edge of the rock. A cool breeze greeted him, brushing softly against his cheek. He felt Shining Star had sent the breeze to touch him. “I am here,” he told her softly, looking up into the sky. Then, he took a deep breath, and announced loudly to the Great Spirit, “I have come to speak to you.” The breeze was replaced with a sudden burst of warm air, an acknowledgement of sorts. He took a step forward, feeling the balls of his feet touch the edge of the rock. He was close now. “You will put me there with her or I will die!” The raw emotion caused his voice to crack, but he knew the Great Spirit heard his demand. A lightning bolt cracked from a cloudless sky in front of him, striking the ground below. No whispering voices came to his mind or thundering ones either. It seemed the Great Spirit wasn’t in the mood for negotiations. It wasn’t the response Swift Foot had wished to hear or see. Still, he stood on the rock, while his love watched him from her place in the heavens. That was just as well, Swift Foot decided. He would be with her soon, with or without any help. He would never spend a day without her. Another lightning strike lit up the sky as he lifted his arms out, and fell…

Interview:

Please welcome The Wolf author K. R. Thompson to Diane's Book Blog.

How long did it take you to write The Wolf?

The Wolf is actually a pretty short novella. It was originally going to be a backstory in my third book, but then, as characters tend to do, the Wolf took off and demanded his own story to be told. The words began flowing and it only took a few weeks to write.

If you were stranded on a desert island which of your characters do you want by your side?

Any of my heroes/heroines. Definitely NOT any of my villains as they tend to be witches and faeries. ;)

What is your favorite book that you wrote?

So far, The Wolf has been my favorite, though the other two (Hidden Moon, and Once Upon a Haunted Moon) have been a lot of fun to write as well.

What's your favorite book-turned movie?

Mortal Instruments, City of Bones for a movie. But as an Outlander fan, I am completely psyched that there the tv series is on Stars.

Who is your favorite author and what is it that really strikes you about their work?

Diana Gabaldon. The sheer detail to her books is astounding and her characters are so life-like that you feel you would recognize them if you were to see them walking down the street.

What is your typical day like?

I get ready for work in the morning (around 6AM), go to the dreaded day job until the evening, then spend time with my husband and son until nighttime. Then, at night, I disappear into my own world for a few hours and write!

What do you prefer paperback, hardback or ebooks?

I prefer paperbacks or hardbacks. There is something about the feel and smell of a real book that you just can't get from an e-reader.
