Lola, the Bookplug Pug
Well, it's time for me to "plug" my own #author's books! I'll begin with book #1, and follow with books #2 and #3, and I thought I'd combine some questions for LK along with some sneak peeks from the book. I will be reviewing all 3 books in between some other reviews for other author's books. As I proceed, I will interject my bookreview between the questions. I hope you like the format! Oh, and red is my review, black are questions and answers to the author, and finally, Royal Blue is from the book.

I'm not going to beat around the bush! This book
really begins with a BANG, and it just doesn't stop! In a completely unconventional and bold move to writing, LK tears up the common stereotypes of Werewolves. They are not "packs", but they call themselves Clans working and living side-by-side vampires, elves, and humans in the city of St. Louis, MO. The story bounces back and forth, between St. Louis and the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.
Kaitlan O'Hara, heroine of the book, begins her journey to discover who, and what, she really is. She had no idea that she is a werewolf because her Father has kept her in the dark from day 1.
Question #1:
Click the link below to read the first 2 Chapters!
Why did you choose these locations, and why did you decide on only two?
"My original idea was to choose about four or five locations around the world using places I have been, but after much debate with my own brain ( and that was a story in itself! ), I decided to keep it down to two locations. I felt that the story would be more consistent, and keeping to content, allowed me to be far more creative with my writing than if I had more than two locations. The first book sets up the entire series, and I drew on my Interior Decorating knowledge for keeping it simple. I decided to use two specific backgrounds as the base of the story, but the actual locations are not the actual story. I used them simply for complementing the story instead of making it front and center."
Review
Begining Background: Kaitlan Seneca O'Hara is the daughter, and book editor, for her Father, Canaan Marshall O'Hara, who is the foremost #publisher of the Seneca Publishing House in St. Louis, Missouri. It is reknowned throughout the world, and the one most all authors hope will accept their writings. Until now, he has managed to keep the fact that Kaitlan is like him - a werewolf, but her first change happens at the age of twenty-seven, and her birthday is tomorrow. He suspects someone, but has no proof as of yet. An ancient curse was cast wrong long ago, and in consequence, the entire Supernatural World is dying out little by little. Canaan and Kaitlan's lives are threatened by a very unique, and totally mysterious villain called "Zanack". In his desperate desire to get Kaitlan out of the killer's hands, he sends her just as her birthday approaches to his former "First", the most famous Science Fiction writer in the world, Cordone Tristan Valon. Now, I have to tell you, his Rocky Mountain home has to be one of the most UNBELIEVABLE designs I've ever seen, or read about! ( I doubt any reader has ever read of a design like this as it is hand-carved into a mountain ). And, the house has its own unique character as well including a 3 story waterfall inside!
A prophecy has been handed down over thousands of years. A race begins to interpret it, and stop what has been set into motion. And, it all centers on The White Wolf, and when it appears. Once it appears, everything will placed into motion with a totally different ending by book 3 than I have ever read!
When The White Wolf appears,
All that once was,
Will yet again be,
Beware that danger is not past.
Evil still present,
Will cause to suffer,
That which is,
To not last.
Find The One, who cursed our worlds,
Or succeed in task will he.
For if he wins, the second time,
Our fate, forever, will be cast.
"KAITLAN SENECA O'HARA! Get your butt in here
right now!”
Kaitlan groaned, and rolled her eyes wondering what
was wrong with her Dad this past week. Her Father’s voice
never needed an intercom. However, he had insisted that she
have a direct line to him, and she was convinced that its very
presence was to make her life a living hell.
Canaan O’Hara had steadily become more and more
irritated with her lately. Well, that wasn't really fair. He had
been a bastard to everyone in the entire building this week.
What WAS his problem? Make no mistake; she loved her
Dad, but sometimes - GRRRR! In addition, this whole week
had been a GRRRR week for Kaitlan."
OK. I just HAD to ask LK:
Wherever did you get the idea for the house?
Laughing, LK told me, "I have no idea! While I was writing, I was trying to come up with a secluded place that was not close to any town or civilization. For whatever reason, the design just popped into my head, and I wrote it down! I just put some of my favorite ideas into it, and voila! There it was! Completely done and designed without needing a rewrite at all!"
There is far more to Cordone Valon than meets the eye, ladies!
Cordone Tristan Valon was one of the most secluded,
and eligible bachelors in the world. He was a real hunk of a
man. Buff and built like a tank, most women would jump at
the chance to be around him in any capacity. Her best friend,
Sarah Collins, had already told Kaitlan she would be happy to
do whatever he wanted as long as it was on her back! Geez,
Sarah! That was just so wrong. Kaitlan, grudgingly, had to
admit he was gorgeous. Take all the most gorgeous male
models ever laid on a cover of romance books, and roll them
The White Wolf Prophecy: Mating: Book 1
9
all into one man, and they still wouldn't have the allure
Cordone Valon had to the female sex! All, but Kaitlan, of
course. She was in love with Steven Moss.
Exactly who is Zanack? Reading about him made my skin crawl! Can you give us a hint?
"Well, let's see...nope! It's a total secret. I expand on him throughout the books as I reveal who he is. And, believe me! It gets a whole lot worse! He truly is the worst of the worst of the worst! I wanted the mystery to last."
Oh, come on! Surely you can give us a hint?
Grinning wickedly, LK doesn't answer this one! Ah, but after I read the first book, I couldn't wait to get to #2, because my interest is totally peaked!
What must be done in order to break the curse?
"The White Wolf has to appear, first. Obviously, since we are talking werewolves, this happens in book 1. The White Wolf must mate, first, before anything else can happen. I'll give you a hint. It's one of four women. Kaitlan has three other besties. Her bestie is Sarah Collins. Then, there is Anita Moore and Lynne Rogers. All four of them must find their mates, and yes, there is eroticism in each mating couple. But, I tried to do it with love and great passion! But, the first one to mate has to be The White Wolf. It will take all four women and their mates to thwart Zanack. Each couple have complete backgrounds as to who they are. I loved creating their backgrounds. Each is unique. You must know their backgrounds, because they are essential to the plots.
I opened my mouth for the next question, and LK answered it before I could ask!
"Before you ask, yes. I based each of my characters on real life people, and they all love it! And, the beauty on the cover of all three books and the two men? Well, I give little things out here and there on my Twitter Page which is @lkkelley1 as well as on Google plus and Facebook. I've included the links below where I can be found as well as the links to my book on #Amazon and #barnesandnoble as well as #Kindle and #Nook."
What else would you like our readers to know?
"Well, I wrote the books, because almost all that was available for adult women in the Supernatural area, were YA books. After talking to a great many women ages 18-65, I discovered that not only are there 'secret' readers of the genre, but they, too, wanted adult situations in them. Once I asked, I decided that I could write that type of book as well. But, I wanted it to be DIFFERENT! I wanted to write books that had a whole new idea on the supernatural area."
Well, I have to admit, LK. You succeeded in that by a mile! I loved book 1! And, I'm already almost through with book 2! And, I have to admit! What you have done in book 2, The White Wolf Prophecy ~ Hall of Records ~ has a surprise waiting for everyone! I dropped my mouth when I read who showed up!
Again, LK just grins wickedly, and won't answer! So, I guess you'll have to pick up her books and find out why!
