A Murdering Monster and a Myth Come to Life

After a police shootout where she killed a man, criminologist Maggie Tall Bear Sloan retires from the force to enjoy peace and quiet in rural California. When sets of young twins are murdered in her town, the local sheriff recruits her to solve the gruesome killings.

But to catch a killer, Maggie either accepts her true nature as a “pukkukwerek” —the shapeshifting monster killer of Yurok legend—or more children will die.

As the manhunt intensifies and her own family is threatened, Maggie will do whatever it takes to keep them safe. Whether she’s awake or asleep dreaming, Maggie is faced with a difficult choice: embrace her heritage—even if it means turning into myth itself—or deny that heritage and lose everything.

Passion. Love. Music.

A man struggling to gain his independence…

A woman simply struggling to survive…

Raised by a drug-addicted mother in one of the roughest parts of Phoenix, Liz Carlisle just wants a way out. A nursing student, she’s determined to make a difference and reach her ultimate goal of becoming a pediatric nurse.

Favorite Austin Quote from Alterity: “I should’ve clarified myself when I said that I would wait until marriage. So, let me be clear. My body won’t join with another until I wed, but I’ll be damned if that means I cannot taste you.”

Austin was born with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth. Born to a blue-blooded father of strong Scottish stock and an American mother of lesser status, he’s expected to uphold the standards of his paternal forefathers and save himself for the woman he is to marry. He is a man of deep faith and conviction. The MacKenzies are part of Scottsdale society, but Austin wants nothing to do with this or his pre-arranged marriage to beautiful socialite, Jennifer Clawson.  

Austin is in his final year of Pre-Med and plans to attend Berkley to finish his undergrad. He is currently undecided about which field of medicine he intends to practice. Piano was his first instrument and guitar his second.

Austin’s favorite foods are shortbread, rotisserie chicken, and shrimp & grits. He is a semi-vegetarian as does not eat beef. He enjoys composing music, doing Mixed Martial Arts and performing charity work in his spare time.
