Diane will do whatever it takes to save a dog brought into the shelter from being taken back to the dog fighting ring he escaped from - even when she discovers he is a werewolf.
Mariah Avix is the creator of 600 Second Saga. A space for developing authors to explore the realms of science fiction and fantasy in 10 minutes or less every week.
Mariah writes magical tales of how technology will change our world, and technologically laced tales of magic, that probably isn’t real.
She is currently working on a series of novellas about shapeshifters who fight wildfires, a trilogy about a woman who refuses to admit that she has the M word (magic), and endless flash fiction.
When she’s not writing she walks along the rivers and parks throughout her city looking for inspiration.
Diane loves her volunteer work at Beds, a dog rescue for older and unsuitable dogs. When she arrives one afternoon, all the other workers are scared of the huge new rescue dog. But, Diane is immediately drawn to the dog she names Ozzy.
An interesting story, full of the passion of rescue work and the workers that love doing it. I won't divulge the rest of the story and will let the listener enjoy the discovery on their own.
The writer, who is also the narrator, does a great job, really painting a mental picture with her words and her voice. You can feel the pain and anguish of trying to help abused animals in her reading.
I hope that the author decides to write more in this series. An enjoyable quick listen. Thanks to the author/narrator for giving me the chance to listen to this book!
What a great short story... it's written and read by Mariah Avix... Mariah has a fantastic speaking voice and it feels like she is really in the skin of her protagonist, Diane... hell maybe she is! Diane volunteers at a pet shelter, always taking care of the worst cases to come in, the abused, and the older dogs... Then Diane is told to take care of a "dog" that has the whole kennel in an uproar... If you like tales of animals or "shifters" or both, you'll love this story!
This is, I am sure, the prequel to a series. If not, it is still a delicious little story revealing a different approach to werewolves. As narrated by the author, one is drawn into the world of a young woman whose job is fine but her real love is working with rescue dogs. I was so caught up in the story that I listen to it straight through.
