To Trust the Wolf, a fantasy novel about witches and werewolves, is currently available for sale on Amazon as both an ebook and an paperback.
As the mundanes riot against the control of the witches, threatening to tear the fragile realm of Raioume apart, the Gran Mater of the Coven races to defend one little girl who holds the key to mankind's future, only to find her beset by ancient demons the Gran Mater had assumed long vanquished.
So begins the story of Perdita Perrault, an awkward but precocious young witch who struggles to find her place in the world, a path which ultimately leads her to the Gran Mater's greatest enemy, the vicious and blood-thirsty Wolf King, Lupus Rex.
To Trust the Wolf is the first book of the Little Red series of novels, set in a land filled with political intrigue, governed by a matriarchal society led by a martial order, the Red Cloaks. The story of the Gran Mater, Perdita, and Lupus Rex weaves a dramatic thriller against a backdrop of magic, witches, and wolves that will captivate and enthrall.
With 9 5-Star reviews, here is what people are saying about To Trust the Wolf:
"The women are strong, powerful and flawed, like any leadership, and their infighting and political maneouvring is fascinating."
"[The mundane's] tale is highly sympathetic yet they remain the villains, making this story all the more fascinating and three-dimensional."
"I got hooked on the characters and want to see what will become of them next."
"It is remarkable that the author was able to paint such vivid imagery of an other-world AND find the time to weave in real character development with a complex plot."
"If you are looking for an unusual, enjoying read, this book is for you!"
"Particularly striking are the descriptions of lucid dreams and magical telepathic encounters, in which characters gain insights and glimpses of future events, confused through the language of dreaming or the potential pitfalls and paradoxes inherent in relating to the future. As all these trajectories of foreshadowing begin to reinforce and converge on the themes of the archetypal source material, the novel shifts from "page-turner" to high art."
"I also liked discovering the worlds of the book gradually; as when reading Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go," there was a palpable sense of mystery with hints dropped and a feeling of impending doom while the background is gradually filled in with the occasional flashback as the present narrative rollicks along. I knew I was in the hands of a master storyteller, and that I would "get it" in good time."
"Good stuff. I am enjoying myself immensely."
"I devoured the Harry Potter series as fast as I could, I got bored in the middle of the Golden Compass, I've never read Lord of the Rings. But this book held my interest completely. I enjoy books that are page turners and several nights found myself fighting off sleep because I just needed to get in one more chapter!"
To Trust the Wolf is currently available exclusively through Amazon.

Violin! The
Violin is a short story based in the world of Raioume, the original setting that To Trust The Wolf takes place in.
Sophie always dreamed of becoming a witch and joining the Coven to protect and serve Raioume, so much so that she taught herself to read, even though mundanes are forbidden to learn how to do so. When it turns out that she has no magic and cannot become a witch, Sophie must learn to find her own place in the world.
The Violin is available for free through Smashwords, but is also available for
.99 through Amazon. (If you've got some time, you could do me a huge favor by
pointing out to Amazon that the story is available for free elsewhere.)
