Here are my Lycans and Werewolves for my universe. In most books and films they are one and the same, but in my universe they are separate Creatures. The form they take in wolf form sets them apart.

Are you looking for high fantasy with adventure, action and a sprinkle of romance?
Then why not try the Tarrenfall Chronicles. Lara Tarrenfall is a born lycan who finds herself turned into the only vampire/lycan hybrid.
This isn’t your normal romantasy, this one has teeth.

So here it is the blurb for book 3 of the Tarrenfall Chronicles. Anyone who's read the Ranger Chronicles will recognise a couple of names in there. And yes this book will have characters from the Ranger Chronicles 😀.
I always wanted Lara and Evie to meet and in this book they will.

I'm 53 today. Turning 50 was like a switch had been flicked. I felt a confidence I had never felt before and finally shed the doubt that my ex always gave me. I published my first book at 50, and this year, I'll be publishing my 5th. My 50s have been amazing and feel proud of the woman I've become.

So this one for the 5th for #FantasyIndiesFebruary is a though one. My characters are usually renowned swords for hire. So a date would probably be some good ale at a local tavern. And a night talking contracts and adventure.
