Who Are My Favorite Characters in My Series?

Hi, Anna, thanks for having me back!

First, do you know what big teeth my characters have when they’re in wolf form? And yes, I do know every one of them personally, and they’re all avid readers. I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t have Google Alerts to see if anyone says anything about them on the Internet.

So because of that, I have to very tactfully decline revealing which are my favorites because that would get me into really big trouble. Werewolves talk amongst themselves in a pack, you know. And some werewolves, I’m not mentioning names here, but some have a real reputation for spreading the word about juicy gossip. One of them is even in Wolf Fever, the focus of my blog today, since it’s just been released.

I think I’ll talk about something that’s safer—like how much I love ALL my characters in every one of the books. Yeah, it’s a cop-out, but I’ve got to maintain the peace.

I love Carol because no matter how difficult life is, she doesn’t let it get her down. She tries to work out the difficulties she’s facing that no one can really understand unless they live in her shoes, while trying to figure out what Chester Ryan McKinley’s deal is.

Now, he’s hot. He’s an alpha gray male leader from another Colorado town who can’t quit thinking of her 24/7. And he’s even got Scottish roots and goes to Scottish games and proves just how hot he is, which intrigues Carol even more. Yet he STILL insists all he’s interested in is if she’s truly psychic. With his scientific private investigator brain, he doesn’t believe in hocus pocus, and just knows she can’t have paranormal connections.

And of course there are the Silver brothers—Darien, the pack leader of Silver Town, and Jake, next eldest of the triplets, and Tom, the youngest by five minutes or so. Darien is in charge and stern and unyielding, or tries to be, but his mate, Lelandi, often changes his mind. Jake delights in teasing Carol, yet there’s some intrigue there and not a little bit of protectiveness. Tom is the peacemaker, but he lets it be known he doesn’t care for Ryan’s interference with Carol in the least. Tom and Jake are very eligible bachelors, but if you’re thinking of making a pass at Jake, by Dreaming of the Wolf, book 8 and in stores next Fall, I’m pretty sure it’s a foregone conclusion, he’s taken. But Tom now is a ready bachelor. Very ready.

Sam and Silva are still playing games with each other on the sidelines. I’m thinking I need to shake them up to get them to finally commit or give each other up.

The barber from Destiny of the Wolf? He’s a goof, but I love him all the same. And Matthew, the male nurse, he’s got dark secrets, so there’s no telling what’s truly going on with him.

Darien’s mate, Lelandi? She rules beside her mate, and helps to soften situations with Darien when he gets a little overbearing and demanding with the pack.

Doc Mitchell, the veterinarian, proves his worth as a wolf. And the deputy and sheriff of Silver Town, I couldn’t do without. The fun part? They’ll all be back in Dreaming of the Wolf, but that time it will be Jake’s show.

So just when it seems everything is settled in Silver Town, the flu epidemic hits the pack and how they deal with it, while Carol is trying to resolve her personal issues of not being able to control her visions, or the shapeshifting equation and the situation with Ryan—brings me to the question: what more could go wrong?

Lots.

My manager always tells me when I ask this at work, “Don’t ask.”

Thanks so much, Anna, for having me back!

My question to readers is: If a pack leader set his sights on you, what would he have to do to convince you he was the right one for you?

WOLF FEVER
by TERRY SPEAR--IN STORES DECEMBER 2010

She may be his destiny, but she's not his first choice…

Hospital nurse and newly turned red werewolf Carol Woods is being pressured by her pack leader to find a mate, but he's the only guy in the pack who remotely attracts her… Why is he playing so hard to get?

The fate of the pack rests on his shoulders…

Gray pack leader Ryan McKinley doesn't want anything to do with Carol unless she's willing to embrace her wolf nature—no matter how beautiful she is.

But when a virus infects the local lupus garou pack, Ryan realizes just how wrong he's been not to seize the moment with the woman he's come to love. And now, it may be too late…
