My Books: Shift

So, I'm writing another new book! I know, you're all thinking I'm crazy for writing so many books at once. Well I've cancelled quite a few of them so that I can focus on the ones I really like. I'll make sure to put a list of my current books in the sidebar.

First I'd like to say that Shift is a really bad name for this book (you'll see why in a minute), but it was the best I could come up with. I'll think of a better one later.

Shift is currently lacking a continuous plot line, but I have a few good plot points. The book is basically about a group of teenage werewolves and their guardian. Now, they're not the kind of werewolves you're used to. That is, they don't actually turn into wolves. The wolves were already in the forest when they got there. Instead, the teens bond with a wolf, and on the full moon their mind and soul merges with the wolf's, allowing them to take over its body. The rest of the month they can sort of telepathically communicate with their bonded wolf. The wolves can't understand human speech, but they can trade images and impressions. Now you understand the issue with the title.

Shift is about not only the group's struggles as werewolves, but their struggles as teenagers too. They all have somewhat dark pasts, which are revealed piece by piece throughout the book. The story is narrated by Kyra, and mostly focuses on her life. She's sort of the mother hen of the group though, so you get to see a lot of everyone else's life too.

I've been waiting for ages to write something with werewolves, so I'm really excited for this. Keep an eye out for the Characters post too, where I'll introduce you to everyone from Shift. Click the OhMyDollz button the see a design for Kyra.
