Hi paranormal fans. I’m Linda Thomas-Sundstrom, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have been asked to write a little something about my Silhouette Nocturne series “Wolf Moons.” When you’re as into the world of werewolves as I am, it’s such a joy to share the labors of love… and my sexy Weres.

Thanks for joining me here today!

I’ve blogged here before about being a paranormal writer through and through, and loving every minute of it. That blog was last year, when I had my first two Nocturne Bites out, Blackout and Wolf Bait. Those Bites kicked off my Wolf Moons series… and drove home the fact that I could be so totally engrossed in this world I’d created, I didn’t want it to end.

I had never been so inspired as I was when telling the stories of the characters in these books, and I wrote feverishly until I had five stories finished, with all sorts of characters from them showing up in the other books as well as their own tales.

This, for a writer, is some sort of writing bliss.

Werewolf bliss.

First though, let me tell you this, because I am so excited, I have to get it out front and center.

My Wolf Moons series was selected by Nocturne editors to include the entire series in print in 2010. A first for Silhouette. So, my upcoming February book Red Wolf (see the uber-sexy, yummy red cover) contains my Blackout Bite as bonus material. And my back-to-back March book Wolf Trap (see the sexy blue cover) contains my Wolf Bait Bite as bonus material.

Two books… four stories… four couples fighting to deal with rogue werewolf bites in sizzling,  sultry Miami. Hot stuff in the city. Werewolves to the max!

And then there’s this month’s (January) new Nocturne Bite – Moon Marked. Do check it out. Here’s the Nocturne blurb about it.

In the secret war between humans and werewolves, Jonathan Baird and Nikki Reese were natural enemies. Born with the genetic gifts needed to join the secret society of hunters, Nikki had been raised to see all Lycans as her enemy…even if hunting them brought on a powerful craving for sexual release.

It was that craving that drew werewolf Jonathan to Nikki. Though he also sought the rogue creatures that threatened the secrecy of his people’s existence, his organization sent him to watch her…but he lusted after her, too. When a hunt goes bad and Nikki is infected with the Lycan virus, Jonathan couldn’t resist coming to her aid, igniting an insatiable desire between them. Will their passion bring together the two rivals, or will old loyalties die hard?

Another bit of werewolf bliss, I have to tell you. I wrote this one by hand in a notebook while in France at a family wedding. My family hardly saw me, I was writing so furiously. If there weren’t photos of me at the celebration, apres the date, I couldn’t have proved to my family I was there. Ha.

So here’s the thing about my world. I write stories I want to star in. I write about males I want to . . . star with. (What did you think I was going to say there, eh?) Since I love werewolves, and those big alphas are so completely hot, I give them females who are spunky, strong individuals in their own rights. I owe them that. And also — one of my heroines is the werewolf! Haven’t you ever wondered what a glistening  full moon might feel like to a female Were as it drips over her like spilt honey and sparks her hunger for a hunky male?

My werewolf characters are human most of the time. I have Dylan Landau, a deputy D.A, and Parker Madison, an ER doctor. Dana Delmonico, a Miami cop. Mat Wilson, a psychiatrist turned detective. Tory McKidd, a genetic Lycan female with blood that dates back to before The Flood. These people came alive for me, a writers dream that doesn’t always happen, I have to tell you. These characters sang to me of their stories and their lives, as if I really  knew them. And they were all people (!) I’d like to know, myself.

There. That’s a wee bit about me, my happiness over working on and completing this Wolf Moons series, and my sadness that  the writing is over. The good news is that I’ve signed on for a few more books and will be writing for much of this year, hopefully feverishly getting down the stories of more heros and heroines who get under my skin.

I sure hope they’ll get under yours.

I am so excited about my Wolf Moons series. (Can you tell?) I am thrilled right down to my underpants. I hope my enthusiasm for the wolves is contagious.

Yes — If you’re a reader or writer who loves to really get involved, immersed, in the world of the books you’re reading or writing, please do tell us your experiences today. Every now and then we get lucky… and we write exactly what we mean to write. Every once in a while, readers can find that special book that draws them in and leaves them wanting more. I wonder if readers can tell when a writer truly enjoys the process? I like to think so.

I’m here, listening.

Please do say hello.

And give Moon Marked, Red Wolf, and Wolf Trap a try.
