Babies or Wolf Pups?

The picture of the babies at right are my Roux grandmother and great aunt, twins. Since Roux means red in French, my heroine, who is a red wolf, has the same last name in Seduction of the Wolf.

But for shapeshifting fans, what do you think? Can a shapeshifter shift to have their offspring in a different form? Or do you think it's best that they stick to their human form when they have their babies?

I ask because I'd like to explore this concept in my current work in progress, but I'd love to have input from fans. Many shapeshifting authors have said their werewolves can't shapeshift until puberty.

So I want to hear from readers. What do you think of the possibility?

2nd Edition Printing!

I received a Facebook fan mail the other day where the writer loved to fall into my werewolf world and get away from the real one. When I was a kid, that's what I used to do. Immersed myself in stories. And as an adult, I do, too. Throw myself into worlds unknown--my own, and others. Writing is like art, created to share an expression. Some love it, some don't. But I think of all the writing and art I've fallen in love with and am so grateful there are writers and artists who create it. :)

The good news is that Heart of the Wolf and Destiny of the Wolf have gone into their 2nd printing!!! :)

I'm off to work on Seduction of the Wolf~~getting nearer to The End!

Have a super Monday!

The Accidental Highland Hero

The Accidental Highland Hero

Coming, Tentatively March 2010!!

Sequel to the award-winning:

Winning the Highlander's Heart

Lady Ellis Dunbarton didn't think life could get any worse, until her loving cousin dies and Ellis learns she is to wed the man her cousin was to marry. Not by a change of contract, though. Instead, by deceit. If he learns she is not her cousin, Agnes, her life is forfeit. Crossing the Irish Sea, her ship sinks, she survives, but temporarily loses her memories. When a Highland Clan takes her in, she remembers one thing. She must flee at all costs and disappear. She knows if her family learns of her whereabouts, her life is over.

James MacNeill must take a bride or give up his holdings to one of his younger brothers. Malcolm has already taken to wife, the fair Lady Anice of Brecken. Dougald is the next one in line to govern the MacNeill Clan if James does not wed and provide an heir. But when James discovers his cousin and advisor have rescued a half-drowned lass from the sea, there's speculation she is of the enemy clan. Returning her to them is his plan, since he has no intention of using one of their lasses as a bargaining tool. But his mother has another notion--use the lass as a means to entice one of the ladies he is interested in marrying, to visit him and commit to marriage. And then return her to her clan, if she is agreeable.

Only nothing works out as anyone plans.

Sign Up for Free Reads!

I have some fun pre-published stories that I have the rights back to that I'd like to serialize and share, and I'm experimenting with Bravenet's free newsletter, which like everything else has a learning curve.

So if you want to sign up for my newsletter, I'll try to post once a week on Sundays. I'm REALLY bad about sending out a newsletter so I'm hoping this will keep me on track. Just go to: www.terryspear.com and there's a registration at the bottom of the page.

I made the mistake of sending it just to see what it would look like in my email and voila, Bravenet told me I could send it only once a day. LOL oh well...so that's it. One person got to read my newsletter. Me. Well, when it gets to my mailbox!!! I told you there was a learning curve!

This read is: Goddess in Training, sexy, not inspirational. Or maybe it will inspire! Never know!

Deadly Liaisons Review!

Date of Review:03/01/2009
Published Work:Deadly Liaisons
Reviewer:Cherokee
Source:Coffee Time Romance
Review Excerpt:
I thoroughly enjoyed the way Deadly Liaisons pulled me in immediately. The action in this book is awesome. I found the writing tight, the plot thick, and the characters strong. When the vampire flew to the rooftop, I could almost hear the sound as he darts in the air, the swishing sound practically sweeping over the pages. Terry Spear writes a gripping story that holds this reader spellbound. The display of emotions that trigger in Tezra, after ten years of losing her parents, really shines, and this reader wanted to share in her loss. I was pulled in with the fighting scenes along with Tezra and Daemon. The excitement and intensity that springs forth in the battles with the vampires is remarkably crafted.

Deadly Liaisons Book Trailer Up Now!

I’m working on Seduction of the Wolf right now, and preparing a teen writing class to give tomorrow at our local library, but I had to take a moment and make a trailer for the already released vampire romantic suspense, Deadly Liaisons.

Dark huntress and rare telepath, Tezra Campbell treads a thin line between being a skilled criminal investigator for the Hunter Council and a renegade. She has an obsessive compulsion to find the vampire who murdered her parents, resulting in severe trauma to her younger sister who’d witnessed the crime a decade earlier. Prince of the American vampire clans, Daemon, sees Tezra as a danger to herself and to his people if the serial killer vampire terminates her next. He’s also concerned his own brother might be accused of the crime, takes her into custody, and intends to find the killer himself.

Only things don’t work out the way either planned, yet both aim to win the deadly game.

In Deadly Liaisons, you’ll note that my vampires shapeshift into wolves! Hey, my favorite hunks all in one story!

Do you like the trailer??? I need to make Legend of the White Wolf next! But first, I’ve gotta teach!!!
