Cops are being targeted. Gunned down on the streets. Murdered in their homes.

But what’s killing them? What tears to shred an armed officer and his two rottweilers and walks away unscathed?

Outclassed, Houston PD turns to Michael Bi�rn for help. After all, who’s better suited to hunt down a vicious predator than a bigger, meaner one?

Michael instantly identifies the killer as a werewolf. No big deal except that, just like teenage girls, werewolves move in packs.

Fortunately, Michael has friends too. Friends like Ezekiel, wizard of the second circle, and Sheila Wang, a cute journalist who accidentally discovered Michael’s true nature. A nature she doesn’t find particularly repelling.

But Sheila doesn’t know Michael’s darkest secret. A secret that will change everything if she ever finds out.

About the Author:

Marc Daniel is the author of Shadow Pack, an urban fantasy novel and first book of the Michael Bi�rn series. After spending significant amount of time in Ohio, France, and Montana, Marc is currently living in Texas where he writes as a full time hobby.

Marc developed a taste for mystery novels very young, and was definitely hooked to the genre by age 11 after reading Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. The Queen of Crime's unparalleled talent for mystery has had a strong influence on Marc’s desire to write and this is reflected in his novels. His taste for science fiction literature came a couple years later after stumbling upon The Dreaming Jewls by Theodore Sturgeon. Simak, Asimov, Van Vogt, Zimmer Bradley, Wells, Bradburry followed in short order. Marc was 18 when he read Frank Herbert’s Dune, his first space opera, and was immediately fascinated by the genre. He spent the next few years reading Space opera sagas almost exclusively (Herbert, Anderson, Bordage, etc) with the exception of the occasional Agatha Christie. He discovered fantasy much later at age 25 with Tolkien’s Lord Of The Rings trilogy. In the years following, his reading started gravitating more and more towards this literary style. Surprisingly enough, it took Marc another eight years to read his first urban fantasy, Patricia Brigg’s Moon Called, and to realize he wanted more. Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series partially tamed his appetite but his thirst could only be quenched by writing his own series. A year later, Shadow Pack was born.

Marc is currently working on book #2 of the Michael Bi�rn series.
