Howl Sweet Howl & Positive


Finnshifters 3: Howl Sweet Howl by Tia Fielding

HowlSweetHowl Life at the Jarvela farm hobbles on when the new year rolls in. Losing his wife and co-alpha in the storm of the decade emotionally paralyzed Sean, though he tries to cope and attempts to pick up the pieces with their children. Rider, another alpha, could give him the love and comfort he needs, but Sean is too depressed to recognize the possibility of having a male partner, and he goes into mental tailspin.

Rider makes the hard decision to leave for a while, and Sean turns his energy and sadness into working on the neighboring Metsala farm with the other members of their farm family. But Sean isn’t really getting better, and that won’t change until he can let his wolf out again. If he doesn’t, he might lose his sanity too.

An Excerpt from Howl Sweet Howl:

He pulled on his boots and his down jacket and stepped into the cold-as-hell evening. Cringing, he jogged across the yard and up new house’s stairs. As soon as he stepped in, he realized something was going on. The lights that were normally on were now off and the lighting was muted.

Then Noah stepped into the hall from the kitchen and grinned. “There you are. You’re wanted in the kitchen.”

Sean, still oblivious, hung his jacket in the hall and stomped his feet to drop the little snow from his shoes near the door. He’d take the boots off later if he ended up staying.

When he walked into the kitchen after Noah, he saw the kitchen table was set for two. There were candles at the end of the table near the window, and when he turned his gaze, he noticed the heart-shaped cards someone—probably his kids—had given to Lark for… Valentine’s Day.

“What’s going on?” Sean asked, his voice shaky for some reason.

“Girls are eating upstairs, and the boys are watching the kids. Me and Dallas in the living room, Maxim and Mikael have their dinner set in the office, and you and Rider can have your dinner here,” Noah explained as he took the salad out of the fridge.

The scent of perfectly cooked steaks filled the air when the jaguar lifted the cover off a large pan.

Sean was too stunned to say anything, so he just sat down and looked at the red candles that burned evenly, casting their light around the kitchen. The flames reflected from the window, as did Sean’s face. He looked at himself, trying to understand why he felt so off-kilter suddenly.  Noah’s reflection was plating the food behind him, and he concentrated on the sure movements of the other man instead of his own expression.

“Okay, I’ll take these plates to the office for the guys and Dallas should come and get ours. Then you and Rider can have the rest. He should be in, in a bit too,” Noah said, and Sean turned his head just in time to see the jaguar walk out with two plates in his hands.

Before he had time for more soul searching, Dallas came into the kitchen and smiled.  “Hi. Happy Valentine’s.”  The tiglon smiled at Sean and he found himself smiling back.

“Same to you.”

Dallas picked up two plates and excused himself from the room.

Sean’s heartbeat was just picking up speed when Rider suddenly entered. The wolf stood in the doorway and then, after taking one look at Sean, pulled the kitchen door closed for privacy.

“You really had no clue it was Valentine’s?”  He asked, staying close to the door.

Positive

PositiveEven after a decade, the life that journalist Brent Walsh and Milwaukee homicide detective Shawn Mackey have made together is far from boring. But when a new case cuts a weekend getaway short, they aren’t quite prepared for how it will impact their personal lives. Suddenly there’s too much to juggle: Shawn will be working the case of the sharpshooter who is trying to infect random people with HIV, Brent needs to cover the story but fears a conflict of interest, one of Shawn’s colleagues is attracted to him, and Brent sincerely needs to mend the painful break with his childhood best friend, Ollie, and heal their broken hearts.

Though the case comes to a close, it’s not the end of their troubles. Shawn and Brent still face a past of old white lies, a present possibility of inviting another man to their bed, and a future with children, not to mention health issues and national fallout from the case. It’s enough to make them want to run away—until they realize they have to face those challenges head-on so they can get on with the life of love they’re hoping for.

Author Bio:

Tia Fielding is a 30-year-old Scandinavian. She is a self-proclaimed “queer girl”, lover of everything pretty, witty people, words, cats, sarcasm, autumn, and caffeine.

She uses her nights with her head in the clouds and her feet on the coffee table, right next to her laptop. Her days? She uses those by sleeping way too much.

Tia started writing stories early on, almost as soon as she learned how to write. The early stories about horses and ghosts have changed into romantic tales about people in love. She stopped writing at some point in her late teens and early twenties, but began again a few years ago, after finding fan fiction. Tia is not ashamed of her past of borrowing other people’s characters, but has found creating her own much more satisfying.
