You’ve been hearing a lot about “Shadows Over Seattle: Prequels 1-6”, but what should you expect?
If you’re a fan of urban fantasy, there’s probably something for you among these stories.
You’re getting a museum break-in, a military mission that takes an unexpected turn, a ghost story, a trip to the fae realms, and so much more. Each story is a glimpse into the world of supernatural Seattle, and introduces you to characters that you’ll meet again in the novels I have planned.
What you’ll discover through these stories barely covers even a fraction of the background material for the series.
So what stories are included in “Shadows Over Seattle: Prequels 1-6”?
"Shadows Over Seattle: Prequels 1-6" is a collection of interconnected urban fantasy short stories that will introduce you to the upcoming "Shadows Over Seattle" novels. Explore an exciting and scary paranormal world that most Seattle residents are unaware of.
Under A Hunter's Moon - Richard Parsons, a wolf-shifter with a problematic past, must face personal demons on Halloween night.
The Lupine's Call - Richard Parsons is a wolf-shifter with a drinking problem. After walking out on an argument with his girlfriend, he makes a series of mistakes that might change his life.
Wolves In The Desert - Garfield Feldman and his Marines come face to face with a foe that they had only heard rumors about. Can they survive the encounter?
Appointment With Death - Officer Agneta Dottasen's world changes following a road traffic accident. Given her anxiety, can she face what follows?
April Fools - When the fae enter our world, pranks are sure to follow for Art Kiger and Janice Cooperfield. That means having to face their fears, and each other.
The Challenge - Art Kiger summons the lupine pack to discuss a threat from some new vampires in town, but he finds himself dealing with an entirely different challenge.
