What is something unique/quirky about you? I like to eat my food in even servings. Like for instance, I would rather eat two cookies instead of one and I get twitchy if you serve me three. I also constantly rearrange my eggs in the carton to keep it balanced and I hate when there is an odd number of eggs.
Tell us something really interesting that's happened to you! In 2009, I had my second daughter at home. My first delivery wasn’t bad, but my experience at the hospital was less than desired. The second delivery went so well, I would have another one in an NY Minute. I made a lousy pregnant woman. I didn’t really like being pregnant, but the actual delivery was awesome and I’d do it again.
What are some of your pet peeves? I really hate people who are inflexible and refuse to see another point of view. I also can’t stand to be scared.

“Your whole family is like this?” She smacked an open palm on her forehead. “Were you at the cabin when I first arrived?”He ducked his head, embarrassed. “Yes.”“Were you spying on me?”“Not spying. I returned home when my falcon noticed the dirt you knocked up. He wanted to see what caused the commotion.”“Wait. Is what we did—am I going to turn into something like you?”“No, it doesn’t work that way. Sex alone doesn’t make you into a shifter. There has to be a claiming to be bonded.”“Claiming?”“When shifters bond they claim each other. Bonds are for life. It connects them on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. It goes way beyond a typical marriage.”“How does this claiming work?”Don’t get excited.He pulled out a dining chair, sat, and rested his arms on his knees. “Well, it involves sex.”“Of course, it does.” She rolled her eyes.“Sex is the most intimate connection two people share. During sex, the mate, normally the female, has to open her soul, and the male connects to her spirit, and they click.”“Click? You make it sound like a rom-com.”“Well, it’s more than just clicking. It’s hard to explain, but when the male bites the female—”“Hold up. The guy has to bite the girl? And why is it usually the man forcing this bondage?”He put his head in his hands. After a count of ten, he said, “Tatum, it’s not bondage. There’s a huge difference. Shifter relationships are traditional. The male is alpha over the female. In shifter packs, there is even one, again it’s mostly a man, but a few females have done it, who is alpha.”“Are falcons part of a pack?”“A family pack. We stay close together. That’s why my family hated me living so far away.”“Are there other falcon shifters?”“Yes. We have a big barn dance each year.”Tatum cocked her head to the side. “Are you making fun of me?”“Maybe a little. We don’t all belong to a club, and we don’t have yearly cons. But we keep an eye out for each other.”“Do you get along with other shifters?” She put the pillow away and crisscrossed her legs under her.“Most of the shifters I’ve met are good people busy living their lives. Just like everyone else.”“Do you have special abilities?”He scoffed. “Sure, I can shoot laser beams from my eyes.”“That’s it. I’m out of here.” She shot up to leave, but he met her at the door. “Tatum. Tatum, I’m sorry. I don’t mean to tease you. Look, I’ve never shared this with anyone outside of the shifter community. I don’t know how it’s done.”
She faced him. “This is a lot to take in.”
bring you harmony?
Cameron was born a falcon shifter, but when his arrogance prompted a total
disregard to safety, he was attacked by a bear shifter. Living with
two predatory animals who want control makes it hard to find peace.
When he meets the new chef, Eliza, his bear recognizes his mate, but
his falcon longs for Skylar. When an opportunity presents itself that
will make all the three happy, Eliza’s heart fights against her
traditional upbringing. Faced with a choice, she retreats into fear
and uncertainty. Skylar knows her love is not confined to a
predetermined set of societal norms. She has to break through the
walls Cameron and Eliza built, but that’s not easy when Cam’s
heart is split in two and Eliza refuses to believe she deserves
happiness. Can three unique hearts turn their back on tradition and
forge a new type of bond in order to bring harmony to their life?
As Eliza stirred the various pans and tasted a sauce, Cameron watched her hips twist in rhythm. Since meeting her, his bear grew stronger and needed more attention. The strength of her bear demanded a challenge and he reciprocated at the cost of appeasing his falcon.“That smells incredible,” Cameron said. Eliza spun around with a spoon for him to taste. The roasted garlic and tomatoes melted in his mouth. How could this woman take ordinary ingredients and create heaven?He closed his eyes, savoring the flavors. “That is fantastic. What’s in it?”“A bit of everything, but I’m experimenting with flavored salts. This one comes from the dehydrated herbs I made last week.”“The chef we had here before had a hard time making anything taste good. It was like eating at a school cafeteria.”“Well, I’m still learning a lot.” She faced the stove.He put his hands on her shoulders and turned her around. “Why do you do that?”“Do what?” Eliza avoided his eyes.Cameron placed a hand under her chin, lifted her face, and kissed her forehand. “Dismiss my compliments.”“I didn’t realize I did that. It’s weird to listen to good things being said about you.” “Why is it weird? You need to get used to it.” He grew hard holding her against him. Her mouth stretched up and met his. His hands cupped her face as his tongue parted her lips. The taste of onions and garlic made him hungrier for more than food.
