"Didn't they teach you not to run from wolves, darlin'?" Before the western werewolf, before fear became a common friend, before humans were scared of the dark- there were the Adlets. Descended from the first shapeshifter, beast and man are conjured into one, hidden deep within the soils of the harsh Alaskan forests. Surviving off of the land and secluding themselves by keeping outsiders away- the Adlets become unhealthily intrigued by the Mavericks, a lonely family of three. After patiently waiting years for Rory and Rowan Maverick, the only son and daughter of a fearless woman named Rowena, to turn eighteen- the twins unknowingly fall prey to every unmated Adlet. Unfortunately, Rory's and Rowan's problems are much more complicated than a pack of wild shifters trying to vie for their affections. It begins much deeper, as deep as the very blood in their bodies.

A compendium of supernatural creatures.

I'm taking a creative writing course this semester, and I will be doing 10 minute writing prompts at the beginning of every class. Knowing myself, I doubt I'll finish any of them in the 10 minutes allowed. However, I will be uploading them here when possible and maybe finish them at a later time.

A two week long, daily writing challenge. All prompts are from the book "712 More Things to Write About" by the San Francisco Writers' Grotto.

A 31 day writing challenge for people inspired by quotes.

However even if she doesn't know it, she has the qualities the Werewolf Committee were looking for: Confidence, Academic, Athletic, Ambitious, and Compassionate.

Mandy's seductive plan takes a turn for the worse when a complete stranger, the pretentious and God-like Brandon Gage, walks in on her wearing nothing but a trench coat and high heels. After her last long relationship ended with her betrayed, Mandy is looking for someone comfortable and "perfect," AKA Jake, the boy she has always been in love with. Sadly, fate has other plans. As an attempt to get Jake to finally see her as a woman (his nickname for her being "Man"), Mandy accidentally seduces the wrong guy when his roommate walks in on her instead. Her error becomes Brandon's new challenge. Brandon starts appearing everywhere, distracting her from plans to win over Jake. When she mistakenly announces in a lecture hall that she would love to straddle (meaning "strangle") him, his efforts double. After a sports injury, Brandon becomes her patient at the university health clinic where she works. Brandon flirts and teases, as Mandy's physical therapy job requires her to massage his muscles. Eventually, he develops OSMWSSJAFFM: "Operation seduce Mandy while she seduces Jake and falls for me." Brandon learns, however, that pretending makes him want her more. For Mandy, an art major who lives (and literally paints only) in black and white, a boy like Brandon who adds color to her life and makes her lose control, is dangerous. Especially when his muscular build is like something from an erotic fairytale. Can modest Mandy really fall for a guy who, whenever she bites her lip, threatens to lick it better? Can she overcome her trust issues from her abandoning father and cheating ex, and learn to let him in?
