A Fitness Spa Like You've Never Experienced Before Professor Abby Stafford was burned out. She was overweight, middle-aged, and tired. She'd even thought about suicide, but there were her dogs. Who would care for them? So she kept trudging on. A summer as a test subject for a supplement that was designed to help her feel better and look younger, sounded just like what the doctor ordered. What did she have to lose? But Wolf Harbor Resort may have left out a few of the side effects.... First in a new paranormal romance series, Wolf Harbor - a feminist werewolf story. L.J. Breedlove is a former journalist writing mysteries and thrillers about what she knows: complicated people, small towns, big cities, cops, reporters, politicians, assorted bad guys. "I write about religion and politics. About race and gender. I believe in the journalism axiom: Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable. To which the labor organizer Mother Jones was supposed to have added: And in general raise hell. That works for me." L.J. grew up on a cattle ranch and then went to college to be an oceanographer. She decided getting seasick was not a good trait for an oceanographer to have, and discovered journalism instead - a field that liked people who asked questions! As a reporter and editor, she worked in Alaska, Oregon, Idaho, Texas, Washington, D. C. Then she got homesick for the Pacific Northwest and came home to work with college newspapers and teach journalism. She is an over-educated, bleeding heart liberal with a penchant for heroes such as Jack Reacher. She isn't particularly bothered by the inconsistency.
