About the Book:

Chance Latrans was just your average teenager until, on his fifteenth birthday, while camping in the mountains of New Mexico, his family is attacked by a beast under the light of a full moon. Chance finds himself surrounded by strange people only to find out that the beast that killed his family was a werecoyote, and he has been bitten. Embarking on a journey into a nightmare world of magic and wonder, he finds himself changing in ways he could never imagine. Can he find a place for himself in this new world with creatures he’d never imagined really existed, or will it all be torn away from him by the monster that took away his normal life? 

Exclusive Interview with the Author! 

1) Thinking back to the way beginning, what’s the most important thing you’ve learned as a writer from then to now?
 
Put more emotion and drama into the characters. Doing that really helps bring the characters to life.

2) When did you first know that you wanted to be a writer? Have you had other jobs along the way?

I wrote my first novel when I was in high school, and I've been writing every since. I just recently decided to make writing my job.

I've had lots of jobs along the way, call center work, delivery jobs, photographer, handy man to name the highlights. I still do photography work and handy man things from time to time, just to stay in practice.

3) Considering a book from the first word you write to the moment you see it on a bookstore shelf, what’s your favorite part of the process? What’s your least favorite?

My favorite part of the process is the actual writing of the book. I love it when it flows out of me and into the computer. My characters never cease to amaze me.
The least favorite part is editing and reading over the proof.

4) If you could have dinner with one of your characters who would it be?

Tal O'duirwood, he's always revealing more of his vast history to me. There's more dept there than I ever thought about when I came up with him.

5) Since becoming a writer, what’s the most exciting thing to ever happen to you?

I think the most exciting thing so far is my friends making a big fuss over when I get a new book out. In one of them several of my friends appear, with names changed to protect the guilty, and they are all going around spotting themselves in the book. That's really cool, and they get to do it again real soon.
