Shifters live in secret. They’re not the only ones.
USA TODAY bestselling author Natasha Brown blends urban fantasy, paranormal romance and supernatural suspense in the Half-Bloods, an adventure for lovers of shifters, vampires... and more.
Jax never stays anywhere long enough to put down roots. He’s a shapeshifter—the only one of his kind, or so he thinks. While prowling on his landlady’s property, he is stunned to find a man feeding on her neck. Although he frightens away the blood-sucker, Jax leaves behind a paralyzed woman and a trail of blood in his wake.
Aerilyn teaches high school and doubles as a guardian for the Genus Society, an ancient underground shifter organization. After learning of a cougar attack in her own mountain neighborhood, she suspects a rogue shifter is to blame.
When the Society accuses Jax of the “animal attack,” he is ordered to stick around until he can clear his name. Desperate to regain his freedom, he must put his trust in his beautiful guardian. Their forbidden attraction leads Aerilyn to wonder if the blue-eyed drifter is innocent. And if he is, the Society has an even bigger problem on its hands—one that feeds on blood.
I can’t lie. I juggle a handful of responsibilities in my daily life. After my husband sustained a TBI (traumatic brain injury) nearly seven years ago leaving him disabled, it shook up our sense of ‘normal.’
I started working as a full-time teacher’s assistant in a Montessori elementary classroom to help make ends meet, which is an energy consuming day job. My kids are now both in high school, so in the evenings I can be found helping my daughter with homework and making dinner.
About a year and a half ago, I slowed down the pace of my night job, book cover design, so I could focus more on my own writing. I set aside time every weekend to sit in my bedroom with the door closed so I can focus on my imaginary worlds. This couldn’t be done without the support of my family, who knows to leave Mom alone when she’s writing. I try to keep up the pace, producing four thousand words a weekend, and on holiday breaks, I put it in high gear.
My family knows how much I love writing and how important it is to me. I hope I’m a living example to the students in my classroom as well as my own children that you can accomplish your dreams if you persevere and never give up.
It may be challenging at times, but I love writing, and I never want to stop.
When it died down, she dropped her shirt onto her growing pile of clothes. She rested her hand against one of the aspens to brace herself while she took off her socks and happened to glance back at her companion. Jax was down to his underwear, standing in the moonlight. Dark lines adorned his back, forming what appeared to be an intricate tattoo, one she couldn’t see well enough from her vantage point. She could, however, see how muscular he was. As he tugged at the waistband of his boxers, she blushed and looked away, reminding herself he would be gone as soon as her father allowed him to leave town.
She didn’t waste any time removing the last of her clothing and stood among the pale aspen trunks, calling to the energy at her core. It surged through her pores, chasing away all visible marking of her humanity until none was left. Aerilyn took a deep breath and stepped out from behind the trees.
