I'm happy to welcome Tera Shanley to What I Wrote Wednesday. We discovered that we were actually neighbors, but only after she moved back to Texas. I was lucky enough to meet her in person last summer when she returned to our town for a wedding.
Tera writes absolutely fabulous paranormal stories about werewolves and zombies, but things we have bonded over. She agreed to share a little of her work in progress, Black Wolf's Revenge.

Excerpt
Morgan Carter’s dark hair fell forward and she couldn’t quite seem to tear her gaze away from the Edwardian cut solitaire Greyson Crawford slid onto her finger. His finger itched to move the long tress out of the way so he could see her smile. She moved her left hand slightly from side to side, and the artificial illumination of the chandelier above them pierced the stone and threw tiny rays of colored light.
She had been moving closer to him by inches since the moment she’d said yes to his proposal. Did she even realize she was doing it, or was the animal inside of her running the show? She lifted light purple eyes to his face and he saw the answer there. Her wolf was so near the surface, the faint smell of animal wafted from her soft skin.
She’s ours, Wolf growled triumphantly inside of him.
He gripped the chair and stilled himself. All he wanted to do was kiss her until her knees gave out, but he needed to be a patient hunter. Wolf, the black-hearted animal that dwelled inside of him, scared Morgan sometimes. He scared everyone, but her wolf was especially new and volatile.
Wolf was right though. She was his, and only his now. The chair creaked as he leaned slightly forward and rested his forehead on hers with a sigh. If he could bottle this emotion, he would. How could he ever be happier than he was in this moment?

 | Tera's new and eagerly anticipated release, Love Starts With Z released yesterday and I was so excited to find it on my Kindle. Love Starts with Z Book 3 in the Dead Rapture trilogy By Tera Shanley Genre: Paranormal Romance/Dystopian Romance Publisher: Omnific Publishing/Simon & Schuster Length: 215 pages |
Blurb:
Twenty-four years into the Dead outbreak that ended the world, Soren Mitchell sticks out like a sore thumb in the remains of the human race. She's an anomaly: a hybrid of human and Dead, created by her mother's genetic immunity. Like her parents, she's fierce and strong. But despite their hopes for her happiness and safety, and even though she is no real threat to the colony, she has let the humans muzzle her and confine her within the walls of Dead Run River in search of a cure.
When Kaegan Langford stumbles into the colony with an injured friend draped across his shoulders, her world is turned upside down. Intrigued and affected by her, he asks her to come to Empalme, Mexico with him to fight in the war between Deads and humans. It'll be a long, treacherous journey to the coast, but she's had all she can take in the colony.
Battles with Deads, betrayal, injury, kidnappings, and a criminal-run train ride stand between them and the war. But in the end, it's not just the war with the Deads that could be the death of them.
Tera Shanley's final book in The Dead Rapture series will thrill your heart...and your braaaains.
