Maria Vale Max, I can't tell you how grateful I am that you took the time to recommend Molly. My previous novels were all part of a paranormal romance series with shifters who are first and foremost wolves, so more vulnerable and beleaguered than is typical for the genre. The stories are also more nature-based, though there is a fair amount of world-building based on my useless degree as a medievalist. If you're game for giving it a try, the first one is called The Last Wolf. Again, thank you: Only through readers like you can an odd little book that fits exactly nowhere find its people.
Maria Vale Hey Pam! Just wanted to circle back and tell you that Tantor has picked up all three remaining books in the Legend of All Wolves and are planning to bring them out in quick succession! I believe Forever Wolf will come out next quarter, then Season of the Wolf a few weeks after that and the final volume Wolf in the Shadows (out 7/26/22) will come out in the fall/winter. I can't tell you how excited I am.
Maria Vale Thanks so much, Andi! That means a lot to me.
Maria Vale Dejah Lynn you have made my day. Forever Wolf was the finale of the first three, but I've gotten a contract for another three. As you might have seen in the epilogue of Forever Wolf, Silver mentions the handful of Shifters who have come to the Pack.
I'm editing the fourth book right now and at present, the POV alternates between Evie, the Alpha heroine, and Constantine, the Shifter hero. It gives me a chance to look at the pack from an outsider's perspective and write a bit more about the Lukani (which is what the Shifters call themselves). Thank you and thank you again,
Maria
Maria Vale Dear Ruth, I'm rarely on GR except as a reader and for some reason while Goodreads sends me notifications about everything--ev-er-ee-thing--it doesn't send me notifications when someone actually asks a question! So I am abjectly, horribly sorry. And truly grateful you read the books. I have written book four and am waiting for the start of the school year to finish editing. And I just got a contract for books five and six!
Can you forgive me?
Maria Vale Hey Tracy, So glad you have A Wolf Apart and Forever Wolf. The first book is called The Last Wolf because the heroine is the runt of the Pack, the lowest in the hierarchy...The Last Wolf. Here is a link that leads to most major platforms.

I'm also grateful for your support of wolves. Never more important than now, as they are about to lose their Endangered Species protections.

Maria Vale Having finished with the Legend of All Wolves (the final volume, Wolf in the Shadows, comes out July 26, 2022) I've done a couple of short things. I wrote a spec fic, which I'm thinking of serializing and am about half way through the first book of a trilogy that I'm thinking of as a kind of cross between American Gods and KMM's Fever books. That's the idea, anyway
