Kelsey, a submissive wolf-shifter, has always done what she has been ordered to do. But when Madsen, the Wrasa’s highest alpha, sends her a letter via pigeon post, containing very unusual orders, she’s not sure she can obey. Madsen and the newly hired Wrasa PR firm think it’s a good idea to celebrate the anniversary of their not-so-voluntary coming out to the human public with a Wrasa Pride Parade—and they want her, a lowly nederi, to lead it. Pigeon Post is a short story that goes with the paranormal romance novel True Nature.
Jae is the author of twenty-six award-winning romances between women. She lives in the sunniest city of Germany, near the French and Swiss borders. The writing bug bit her at the age of eleven.
She used to work as a psychologist but gave up her day job in 2013 to become a full-time writer and a part-time editor. As far as she’s concerned, it’s the best job in the world.
When she’s not writing, she is an avid reader of sapphic books, indulges her ice cream and office supply addictions, and watches way too many crime shows.
Another lovely Wrasa story by Jae. Again there was just the right mix of warmth, surprise and a little bit of fear. I don’t remember just now if it was in this story or one of the others about the Wrasa that I read yesterday in my binge reading, that the dog tags the Wrasa are compelled to wear came up, but that was just scary when their right are being questioned. I am still hoping that Jae writes another novel about the Wrasa. I would love to read about them again and about their life after coming out. Maybe a novel or story about Tala, the Foxshifter that was adopted by a wolf pack and maybe Faith, the daughter of MacAllister the anti-Wrasa activist. 5 stars.
Bugs just told me that a third novel might be coming up. Great news.
Loving the Shifters I am finding that I really enjoy Jae's writing talent. This was an interesting tale of Kelsey a wolf shifter, her human lover and pack leader and the first Shifter Pride parade. There were some funny bits, some worrysome bits and some aww bits.
This is a good story. I am very glad I read it but I think if I had read True Nature first I would have understood it better and it would have been a bit more enjoyable. That being said I have to know what happens to bring these characters to where they are now!
Ohh man, I never thought about the parallels of them coming out with other minorities. And the repercussion of it to Kelsey, oof, hard to see. Rue is awesome, being there for her and respecting boundaries. It was a fun, enjoyable reading in any case.
I'm reading this series after a long time of it being release and I still hope we'll get to see all these folks again someday and how they're integrating the human world.
This takes place a year after the events in True Nature and is a great catch up on Kelsey and Rue. There are strong comparisons between the lines of the similarities of the Wrasa Pride parage and Mardi Gras Parades, both the fictional event and the real one aim at cutting through prejudices and showing people are still people regardless of subcultures. Well done Jae. We need more frequent minders of this, especially when they are set in a great story.
Jae I have loved every book of your Shape-Shifter Series! Thank you for creating a beautifully rich world filled with Bears On Bikes and Little Red Riding Hood-wolves. With humor this book shows the absurdity of prejudice against the ‘unknown’. Jae wrote this story in 2014, before politics divided the USA. But the sentiments of blind prejudice, angry assumptions you explore have never been more important than now in 2024. I dream of a world where the politics of addition and multiplication are greater than subtraction and division.
I am just going to start out by begging for a new novel with Tala , Faith,and Chloe!!! The discovery, angst,and drama would be amazing!!! This tale was wonderful and so relevant with the times considering lbgtq+ rights, equality, and racism! I love how Jae handled the fear and drama, as she gives us the humanity! Recommend the entire series!!!
What was the point of this. I typically like JAE’s books. I like Rue and Kelsey a lot. But this story served no real purpose if it is left here. This story didn’t showcase anything IMO. I couldn’t even connect with two characters that I love.
I didn’t really care for this series. Basically just the Rue and Kelsey story seemed worthwhile.
This was a fun follow-up to True Nature. Poor scared, submissive Kelsey has to lead a Wrasa Pride Parade, and with her human mate, Rue, next to her, what could possibly go wrong?
Short, but Surprising. Madsen had to (try to), take credit for the Parade. Excepting Kelsey to fail or loose to HASS, got an eye opening Surprise. I was looking forward to a Pigeon-Shifter, food for thought. Off to my next Adventure.
Cute little story that details the first Wrasa parade, gives a little more of Kesley and Rue's story, and more importantly (even if they aren't the main characters for this one), details how Tala and Faith met.
This was a fun short story in the shapeshifter universe. Pointless to read if you haven’t read the prior novel, but also a great addition if you have. Zero complaints, but I’m not sure there is enough content/impact for 5-stars.
I think this short story sets up the authors next two novels so this is a great read if you are planning on reading Enemies By Nature, the newest addition to the series.
Submissive Wrasa wolf shape shifter, Kelsey, has always obeyed her superiors. But when she receives a letter from Madsen, the Wrasa’s alpha, Kelsey isn’t sure she’ll be able to comply with his unusual latest orders. Madsen and the new Wrasa PR company want a big celebration in the form of a Wrasa Pride Parade in Washington D.C to celebrate the one year anniversary of their involuntary worldwide coming out to the human public. They want Kelsey to head the parade.
For those of you who haven’t read any of this series, wolf-shifter Kelsey lives with her partner, Rue who is human and her adopted son Danny, who is Wrasa. One year has gone by since Kelsey ‘outed’ the Wrasa to the world. The object of the big parade is to show the world how harmless the Wrasa are. The antics that follow on in this story are very amusing and entertaining.
There is no need to have read any of this series first, this short story stands alone well. But, I defy you to not rush to buy them right away. I love these multidimensional characters and their stories.
The story is a bit longer than some shorts, but Jae is well known for penning epics. It goes without saying Pigeon Post is well written and a page turner from start to finish, a story to enjoy more than once.
Only read this story if you've read True Nature first...and ideally if you've read Second Nature, as well.
This is a short-story from Jae's shape-shifter series that occurs a year after the shape-shifters "come out" to general society. There are a lot of interesting parallels drawn here between minorities and the prejudice that is suffered from conservative law-makers, protestors and your average joe a-hole...and also from prejudice from the minority group, as well, when an "interracial"...or interspecies relationship exists.
Kelsey is one of my favorite characters in Jae's books because she's such a unique lead (since she's a submissive) and I'll always be happy to read a story with her in it. Kelsey is always drawn in a realistic way where she'll never come out blazing guns but still do courageous acts while being scared out of her wits.
The story resolution was a little idealistic but, overall, this is a nice extension story after True Nature.
A must read for fans of Jae's True Nature. This short story is a continuation of True Nature and shows the aftermath of the mass shape-shifter outing that Kelsey precipitated in the previous book. But Kelsey is a nederi (submissive) and being the poster child for all shape shifters is just not in her nature.
Well I found it funny. You need to read second nature to fully appreciate this novella. It brings together nearly all of Jae's characters from her shape shifting novels. It's fun, it's light and very well written. Enjoy!
