Jaguar Fever by Terry Spear, guest post, review and giveaway

I am delighted to have Terry Spear visiting my blog today with a guest post and a giveaway, just in time to celebrate the release of another book in her yummy jaguar shifter series, Jaguar Fever

                                                 

Words from Terry:


Why Twins, Triplets, Quadruplets in My Shifter Series?
 
by Terry Spear

I had a new editor to my series say that she supposed I wrote so much about multiple births because jaguars and wolves have multiple births. 

Yes!!
 
I try to make my stories as real as possible. Many know that I actually have a lot of factual stuff in my stories, true life experiences, or real events that have occurred. I'm often asked to tell about something no one knows. So here goes:
 
In truth, I do have a lot of multiple births in my ancestry.
In the old days, multiple births were considered the devil's work. Not something that was good. Oftentimes, the babies would die. They were preemies and families had no way to take care of babies who were born too early or who were of too small a weight. They had enough of a problem losing even healthy babies early on because of poor conditions, lack of food, or sanitation.
 
Many years ago, one of my ancestors had three sets of twins. She also had two other children, non-multiple births, that survived. But not one of her twins did. They were a Kelly family from Ireland, who had moved to Quebec. That was on my maternal grandfather's side of the family. He also had an ancestor, William Playfair, famous mathematician who invented our bar and other mathematical graphs. In Hero of a Highland Wolf, Colleen Playfair is his descendent, American wolf—taking over her Scottish castle and giving Grant MacQuarrie a hard time.
 
William Playfair was also a twin, but his brother didn't make it. The Playfairs were from Scotland and several were famous for their architectural achievements, geological brilliance, and inventions. William's older brother, John, has a crated named after him on both the moon and mars.

Then my maternal grandmother was a twin. Her ancestors were from Scotland—the MacNeills and Campbells. So you see where I get some of my ideas for stories. Whoever would have thought I might turn them into werewolves??
 
But I digress. Jaguars, such as in Jaguar Fever, have multiple births also. Two cubs, three, four. In Jaguar Fever, you'll get to see Connor and Maya Anderson, twins, and Wade and David Patterson, also twins. But Connor and Maya also have triplet cousins, two males and a female. The female is in Jaguar Hunt, coming next year. And one of her brothers is going to be stuck in the jungle on a mission when he's saddled with two abandoned jaguar shifter cubs. What's a hot shot Special Forces Golden Claws JAG agent to do?

In Jaguar Fever, I had fun showing the siblings in their interaction with each other. The caring, loyal, protectiveness they have for their twins, triplets. I've read so many stories about twins marrying twins, or losing spouses and the twins from birth live together until they die. It's very touching how so many have a connection like that.

In Destiny of the Wolf, I showed where Lelandi had a connection with her triplet brother and sister, just like so many do even though they live far apart. I watched a program where twins separated at birth end up living in the same town, not knowing the other existed, and run into each other. 
                                
 
Can you imagine what that would be like?
Hmmm, sounds like a story coming on.


Thanks so much for Elf having me here today. Always a pleasure.

If you were a jaguar shifter, how would you react if you learned you had a brother or sister or more that you didn't know about?

Jaguar Fever(Book 2) Sourcebooks
August 7, 2013

She's being pursued by everyone, in more ways than one.

Even in an exotic world of humans, jaguars, and tantalizing creatures who shift between the two, Maya Anderson stands out from the crowd. Interest from human suitors is bad enough, but when male shifters give chase, the real trouble starts.

Who's the hunter and who's the prey?

Investigating the black marketing trade of exotic animals keeps Wade Patterson more than busy. When he and Maya both get entangled in a steamy jungle mission, it becomes impossible to tell who is being hunted or who the hunters are. Wade is desperate to survive this deadly game of cat and mouse. But it's Maya's piercing eyes that keep him awake at night.

Review:

“Jaguar Fever” by Terry Spear is the entertaining sequel to “Savage Hunger” and is another delicious jaguar shapeshifting tale involving the Anderson family.  Maya Anderson has been searching for a little freedom from her overprotective brother, Connor, and now that he has found his mate she thinks she may have her opportunity.  Wade Patterson is a member of the Golden Claw JAG which is an elite force that governs jaguar shifters, and he is tracking an exotic animal smuggling ring when he sees the woman who captured his attention during his last mission and discovers that he has some misconceptions to overcome.  They discover that their personal and professional pursuits may complicate and endanger their relationship and their lives if they can’t find the criminals who pose a danger to jaguars and shifters in more than one country.

This fun paranormal romance combines vivid descriptions of exotic locales with a suspenseful tale that continues to explore the intriguing world of jaguar shifters.  It is lovely to get glimpses of the characters from the previous book as their lives continue to evolve and the Anderson family seems to be growing even more.  Wade is a yummy representative of his branch of the shifter government and it was fascinating to see the convergence with another of this author’s shifter series as allusions are made to the werewolf pack in Oregon and events that have taken place there.  The dangers to be found in the jungle and the inherent power of jaguars are sobering reminders that are strikingly described in this tale.  This is a great addition to the genre as the author’s research into these fascinating exotic felines shines through her story and I look forward to additional tales in this series.

Reconnecting with the Past

 

By

Terry Spear

Have you ever reunited with a friend from years earlier? And they seemed just like you remembered them years ago?

That connection can really be fun. But werewolves live LONG lives. So if they haven't seen one in a very, very, very long time, and it was only a really, really brief moment in passing—as a Highland warrior tries to take a Highland lass in hand…and protect her from the bad guys, and she doesn't know him from any other Highlander…so he could be one of the bad guys…

And you have a conundrum, in the future. Cearnach has to admit he has a lousy time with faces and names for the long term. But there's something awfully familiar about the sexy American she-wolf who just ran him off the road as he was trying to get to a friend's wedding. Something even more disturbing because the lass recognizes him, he's sure, and she's denying it.

I love mysteries. How are you at remembering faces and names? I'm awful. I can love a particular movie star even, and can't remember the name. Or a movie. A person. Definitely names.

So for me it was perfectly feasible to think as Cearnach thinks—he's dying to know who she is. And she's adamant about denying they know each other.

Have you ever been somewhere, like maybe you know the person at the bank, then see him or her at a park? Or the grocery store? They're not in the same place you normally see them. So there's this disconnection.
When I worked at the library (for over 4 years), I would visit the nearby grocery store either before or after work, or sometimes on my day off. I'd see library patrons there all the time. I'd say hi, and some would recognize me, yet even so, there's this little bit of a surprise. I'm not supposed to be in the grocery store. I'm supposed to be in the library. Others smile and say hi and haven't a clue where they've seen me before. One patron said, "Why aren't you at the library?" LOL We did get some time off.

I just went to my library friend's son's Eagle Scout Court of Honor and saw two people who were library patrons. I recognized them, but they looked so puzzled about who I was. LOL I love it when I'm not the only one who is confused.

Of course, our heroine remembers Cearnach—and still wonders why he had tried to protect her back in the old days, still believes he didn't have totally honorable intentions. And yet, wow, Highlander in kilt, very wolfish male type, and yes, how could she forget?

She had been cloaked, trying to hide her appearance, so she could understand his forgetting her. Though scents play a role also. Which also is another trigger he has that clues him in that he knows her from somewhere.

And it's not just a "how are you" in passing either. He comes to recall that he was trying to protect her way back when. Now, he's trying to all over again.

Do you ever wonder how differently life would have turned out if you had made one choice over another? Both Cearnach and Emily do. And I have to admit, I wonder about that too.

What about you?

One lucky commenter has the chance to win a copy of A Howl for a Highlander, US or Canada address only.  Contest will close at 6:00 p.m. PST on 5/31/13.  If winner has not responded by June 3, another name will be chosen so please check your e-mail!

A Highland Werewolf Wedding

Elaine Hawthorn is a gray American werewolf, currently out of work, and on a mission to share in a family treasure. When she arrives in Scotland, she nearly has a head-on collision with one hot, kilt-garbed Highlander, and runs him off the road.

Werewolf laird Cearnach MacNeill isn't happy Elaine ruined his car, but he quickly becomes her protector after a misunderstanding lands her right in the middle of two feuding clans. Now he's out to ensure that this sexy female wolf gets her fair share of her clan's treasure. He knows he should leave well enough alone, but it's too late to leave his heart out of it.
