Shifting Volume II

by Sean Michael, Sean Michael (Contributor), Julia Talbot (Contributor)

What is it about tigers that make them both cuddly and terrifying? With this volume of Shifting, we explore the primal myth of the man hunting tiger, and the tiger who can become a man. Malik has found his soulmate in Rishi, the young tiger-man he meets by chance on his journeys. Their first tale, In the Hearts of Tigers, sees Malik and Rishi encountering the world of men, and with devastating consequences. Their reward is Lynn, a young valet for a British noble, lost in the wilds of India. Can they make Lynn understand what it takes to love a tiger? In the prequel, Tigers' Tails, Malik and Rishi meet, and come to terms with their differences. Rishi has never lived as a man, and Malik has to teach him what it's like to live, and love, in human form. Authors Sean Michael and Julia Talbot deliver two beautifully crafted tales about how tigers mate for life. Bite into them today!

About the author

Often referred to as "Space Cowboy" and "Gangsta of Love" while still striving for the moniker of "Maurice," Sean Michael spends his days surfing, smutting, organizing his immense gourd collection and fantasizing about one day retiring on a small secluded island peopled entirely by horseshoe crabs. While collecting vast amounts of vintage gay pulp novels and mood rings, Sean whiles away the hours between dropping the f-bomb and persuing the kama sutra by channeling the long lost spirit of John Wayne and singing along with the soundtrack to "Chicago."

A long-time writer of complicated haiku, currently Sean is attempting to learn the advanced arts of plate spinning and soap carving sex toys.

Barring any of that? He'll stick with writing his stories, thanks, and rubbing pretty bodies together to see if they spark.

This is the worded piece of monosyllabic crab I've ever tried to read. "Mate" "love" "mate" "want". I had to stop reading before I shot myself in the head
