Samuel Pitter's real name is actually Syndor Badru and is one of the original Trues. How he has managed to remain alive all of this time is, so far, a mystery. He has tasked himself with keeping Kestrel's resting place safe from discovery and harm and waits for the contingency spell that Kestrel cast prior to her death, comes fulfilled. Samuel is very cunning and plays the long game. He has had plenty of time to secure himself and to keep himself prosperous and hidden. He wil

Shae is only fifteen years old. If you notice, I did not write her last name, as she chooses to not use one anymore. She was abandoned by her real parents at eight, she was then raised by her foster-mother Anne and her boyfriend George. At least, until the abuse started. Events saw her abandoned once again and she found herself prisoner to an unknown government agency, where her unique abilities were tested in horrible and painful new ways. That all changed when she shifted.

Blain Fouse is another one of the new Trues. He is a ruthless thug, and a criminal mastermind. From an early age he has had his share of run-ins with the law. After a few stints in prison, he perfected his skills so that he avoided capture from then on. When his lycanthropy was awoken, it brought his viciousness and desire for more power to the forefront. His ambition had always been curbed by a desire to avoid being hurt or killed, and so he was cautious by nature. Now, he i

Why, "The Awakening: Part One" is the next fantasy book you are going to buy from Amazon for your kindle.

It's true. I'm a pantster. Have been for years, though I didn't know I was. No one had told me. In fact, I only learned recently what a pantser is. You see, when a writer writes they tend to do so in two very different ways. Oh, there are a myriad of minutia that can make other categories, but really, there are just two and their variations. The first, is the planner. This writer uses outlines and timelines to plot the course of their novels. They work studiously at framing e

Kat Cooper, quite frankly, is a bad-ass. Her parents had kept the tradition of passing down the information of lycanthropy and the fact that, one day, they might be called upon to fight Kestrel and her Lycans. Because of this, they chose to prepare her as best as they could. They hired a trainer, who taught her multiple fighting techniques. She also is trained in weapons, both martial and modern. While she is a slight-figured woman, she knows how to use her body size to her a

Let's meet Clint Wallace. Clint is an orphan, who lived on the streets of Chicago when he was a boy. His parents were killed in a car accident that he was also injured in. That was the first time he realized he wasn't like everyone else. He has since turned his life around and helps run a diner for a couple who also let him live in the apartment above the diner. When he starts having blackouts and waking up next to dismembered corpses of animals he naturally starts to freak o

Next and counter-part to Sylvanis is her rival, Kestrel. Kestrel is the leader of the Druids who believed that civilization should be destroyed and controlled so that nature could be safe. She waged war against the other Druids and lost. She managed to find a way to come back though, and now, in present time, she has awoken and is gathering her forces to wage war again. In Kestrel's mind, what she is doing is just and right and the only way that she can do what she was tasked

I decided I should take some time to introduce those who haven't read, "The Awakening: Part One" yet, the key players... the cast, for lack of a better term. First off, let's introduce one of the Saga's main protagonist. Sylvanis. Sylvanis is the person who is depicted on the cover. She is a druidess from over two millennia ago. She was the leader of a group of druids who believed that nature and civilization could live side by side, with the guidance of the druids. Because o

I have had many people ask me why I have multiple POV in "The Awakening: Part One" so I thought I would take this time to elaborate at how and why I wrote "The Awakening: Part One" the way I did. First, when I came up with the idea of dealing with lycanthropes I was doing a lot with them on my D&D campaign I was DMing. In dungeons and dragons they introduce other lycans besides your usual werewolf that everyone knows and uses. They introduce many of the ones I decided to use
