I am happy you enjoyed Wolfsong. There will be four books, I think. Gordon and Mark, Kelly and Robbie, & Carter's story. Ox and Joe will play big parts obviously, as they are the Alphas, but the focus will shift with each subsequent book. Thank you!

Fairytales from Verania is Released!

Important reminder: this book—and all the rest in this series—are not meant for younger readers. I’ve joked about this for the past few months in the lead up to the release, but in all seriousness, this is an 18+ novel. There is sex, language and a bunch of other stuff that is not suitable for younger readers. Please do not buy this book for them. Thank you!

ere we go!

“We should always make time for the things we like. If we don't, we might forget how to be happy.”
T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea

“Hate is loud, but I think you'll learn it's because it's only a few people shouting, desperate to be heard. You might not ever be able to change their minds, but so long as your remember you're not alone, you will overcome.”
T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea

“Change often starts with the smallest of whispers. Like-minded people building it up to a roar.”
T.J. Klune, The House in the Cerulean Sea

“You want to know what it feels like to be castrated? Try having your nine-year-old brother protect you from your ex-girlfriend after you've told her you're in love with a man.”

“There's nothing like being admonished by a nine-year-old ecoterrorist in training.”
T.J. Klune, Bear, Otter, and the Kid

“It’s not like I tease people with the things I’m doing,” the Kid continues. He deepens his voice. “Coming soon, I may or may not go outside. What will I choose? Find out… in another month.”

“Don’t even try to figure out where that came from. I assure you the logic chain in Bear’s head makes sense if you actually know him (and by ‘makes sense’ I mean in a Bear way), but for a newbie like you, it’ll probably just break your mind”

message 42: by Tina

Tina Thanks for accepting my friend request TJ. I can't tell you how much WWE is affecting me. I am at such a shitty place in life right now and Bear's internal monologue with God is a perfect example of what's going on with me. Especially when he goes back to the beach. It was very cathartic for me to sob like that! I love these characters that you so masterfully bring to life. I see maybe , 10 years later...Dominic & the Kid...
