Today I have a guest post from author Quinn Loftis, as well as a giveaway of the first three ebooks in the Grey Wolves series. One lucky winner will get all 3 books!
First, let's welcome Quinn to Ramblings of a Daydreamer. I asked her to talk about why she writes paranormal fiction, and this is what she had to say:
Why Paranormal Fiction?
A Guest Post by Quinn Loftis
A Guest Post by Quinn Loftis
I live in a world that in an of itself is amazing. As a Christian I believe that God created everything. He created the universe, the earth, all that inhabit the earth. When you get down into the science of it all, the intricacy of it all is amazing! But, even with all the wonders that God created, it is still something that I experience everyday, something I live. The reason I chose paranormal fiction is because it's not something I can experience unless I choose to read it, write it or watch it. I write paranormal because I can enter a world that could never exist. I can have the most impossible circumstances and the most outlandish scenarios and regardless of how plausible the story can still draw people in because of the fact that it's not plausible. The paranormal world is a place where those of us who like to ask 'what if' can escape and seek out the endless possibilities of the imagination God gave us. When I write about werewolves or the fae or magic I get to mold and shape a world that has no boundaries, no expectations and no limits. For a few hours everyday I can step into the lives of my characters and experience the wonder and possibilities of the paranormal and hopefully if I do it right, those who read my work will come to see the paranormal realm in a new and exciting way.
I love Quinn's reasons for writing paranormal fiction! Those are my reasons for reading paranormal and fantasy, and why I'd like to someday try my hand at fantasy. Thanks for the great post, Quinn!
Jaque Pierce was just an ordinary 17 year old girl getting ready to start her senior year in high school in Coldspring, Texas. When a mysterious foreign exchange student from Romania moves in across the street, Jacque and her two best friends, Sally and Jen, don't realize the last two weeks of their summer was going to get a lot more interesting. From the moment Jacque sets eyes on Fane she feels an instant connection, a pull like a moth to a flame. Little does she know that the flame she is drawn to is actually a Canis Lupus, werewolf, and she just happens to be his mate; the other half of his soul. The problem is Fane is not the only wolf in Coldspring, Texas. Just as Fane and Jacque are getting to know each other, another wolf steps out to try and claim Jacque as his mate. Fane will now have to fight for the right to complete the mating bond, something that is his right by birth but is being denied him by a crazed Alpha. Will the love Fane has for Jacque be enough to give him the strength to defeat his enemy, will Jacque accept that she is Fane's mate and complete the bond between them?
With the challenge complete and the corrupt Alpha of Coldspring defeated Fane is now free to complete the mate bond with Jacque and perform the Blood Rites. Although the challenge is done, the affects are far reaching. Once it is known that Vasile, one of the strongest Alphas in the world is in America, specifically Coldspring, TX, there is one Alpha who cannot over look the significance of this. An Alpha who happens to share Jacque's DNA, but is this the one she needs to fear?
With her mom driving and her two best friends, Jen and Sally in tow, Jacque sets off for her happily ever after. She will soon realize a plan has been put in motion that will change her course and possibly tear her from Fane's grasp forever. It will take a wolf pack, her mother's love, her two best friend's unrelenting determination, her own will to survive and the undying love of her mate to bring her home. The question remains, if she fights, if she endures, who will she be, what will be left once she is back in her mates arms?

Jennifer Adams, best friend to Jacque Pierce and Sally Morgan, spicy, out spoken, a little crazy and human...or so she thought. Jen has just found out that human DNA is not the only thing that resides in her veins, she happens to share that little pesky werewolf gene, although it isn't more than just a drop. Now that she and her friends are living in Romania with Fane's pack, she is also oh so conveniently stuck with the object of her affection, the fur ball Decebel.
Drawn to each other by something they don't understand Jen finds herself frustrated by the lack of mating signs between her and said fur ball. Not only is she dealing with that not so un-frustrating problem, she now has been informed that because of that little drop of werewolf blood in her she is now required to attended a multi-pack gathering for un-mated wolves. This type of gathering hasn't taken place in over a century but with a shortage of females among the werewolf population the males are getting worried they won't ever find their true mates.
Meanwhile Decebel struggles with the emotions he is feeling towards Jen. He tries to keep his distance but there is just something about the mouthy blonde that keeps him coming back for more of her verbal abuse that he just can't seem to get enough of...go figure.

Because I've always been fascinated with powers. It's nice to imagine that people can be stronger than we are ordinarily.

I enjoyed reading about why Quinn loves to write paranormal fiction.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy reading and writing paranormal/fantasy myself because of the what-if factor. It's an escape, a trip minus the physical decay associated with drugs or alcohol. It gives my imagination the chance to contemplate beyond the limitations of this world.
Thank you so much for having me on your site. I appreciate it so very much and thank you everyone for your awesome comments" good luck on the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteLove the guest post. I am a big fan of Quinn's and the Grey Wolves Series is on of my favorites.
ReplyDeleteI love paranormal stories. They let you escape into a world that is usually like reality, but is also totally different. The potential in those worlds is limitless. A true escape.
