HUNTERS MOON introduces us to Tony, our narrator and a hit man for the Mafia. A few months ago, one of Tony's jobs went very wrong-the mark spotted him, attacked him, and ripped out his throat. He should have died, but instead he woke up furry, and now, with every full moon, he changes into a wolf. Months later Tony has a bad feeling that the wolf-s nses are encroaching on his human life, and this is confirmed when he meets a new freelance client and feels an immediate attraction to her, something that never happened when he was fully human. But there's a bigger problem aside from the professional implications, and the fact that his wolf half wants him to mate with her: she wants to hire him to kill her. He manages to convince her to wait a year, to deal with her problems head on, but tries-and fails-to avoid becoming entangled with her. As he's drawn further into her life and her problems, the wolf inside of him clamors to be let out-and he realizes he's not the only one in the Midwest whose life is ruled by the moon...

Review:

An amazing, cutting edge paranormal adventure. Gritty, fast-paced and sexy. It's earned a spot on my keeper shelf. -- Tess Mallory, best selling fantasy author, June 20, 2004

I read the book in one sitting. This book has some twists in the werewolf's tail that were very cool. -- Laurell K. Hamilton, NYTimes Best selling author, March 13, 2003

If werewolf stories are your favorite, then you have to pick this one up. You won't be disappointed. -- The Romance Studio, August 9, 2004

Like watching a good movie, all I needed was popcorn. I would queue outside a bookstore to get a copy. -- Roundtable Reviews, September 6, 2004

From the Author:

Tony Giodone is an attack victim, turned Sazi against his will. Since recovering from his injuries, he's been forced to try to understand his new nature and to fight to fit it into his life. People often ask authors: where do you come up with these ideas? Usually we start with a question: What if? What would happen if werewolves existed? Would modern humans be tolerant of them? Would shapeshifters have to hide what they are in order to survive? We think so. Rules would have to be strict. The secret would have to be clouded in smoke, hidden in shadow and wrapped in an enigma. Punishment would have to be harsh, because discovery would bring the very real risk of slaughter. In HUNTER'S MOON, we've tried to create characters that the readers can empathize and identify with, that blend in with current reality.
