A Welsh Wolf in Wellington blog tour
Waterfront
Since most
of Sasha’s story takes place in Wellington, the compact and thriving capital
city of New Zealand. I though it would be fun to feature a different part of
the city – especially those mentioned in the book – on each tour ‘stop’. Come
and join me on a truly unique virtual tour of Wellington J
The
Waterfront is the section of the city that opens onto Wellington Harbour.
Studded with glossy bars and restaurants, it’s the focus of the upmarket side
of Wellington’s nightlife. It’s also an incredibly busy area at lunchtime, with
harassed office workers seeking fresh air, a sandwich and coffee. Wellington is
famous for it’s excellent coffee, by the way.
It’s common
to see joggers running along here, skateboarders and rollerbladers, and a
colourful flotilla of kayaks on the water, on a calm day. In the summer, it’s
also home to an iconic one-day music festival – HomeGrown – featuring the best
of Kiwi music. I’ve been twice and plan to go again next year J
While
shifters rarely take regular office-based jobs (too restrictive), the city
shifters have to adapt to the working environment and most of them prefer
outdoor work. There’s a large number that take bar and cafĂ© work. Every time
I’m served coffee by a bright-blue-eyed barista, I ask myself, are they a
shifter?

In this
extract, Sasha sees Megan as she walks along the Waterfront:
Something tugged at
Sasha’s senses and his wolf lifted his head, intent and focused. A scent he
recognized. He opened his mouth slightly and inhaled, the wolf very much in
control. Caramel and spice. The girl with the scarf.
“Yeah, will do.” He
finished the call, shoved his phone into a pocket and turned around. There
she was. The brunette stood a short distance away on the edge of a car park
and he feasted his eyes on her. Business clothes had been replaced with a short
stretchy black skirt that hugged her curves and a shiny, gleaming top that
begged to be touched. Dark hair tumbled down her back, a few strands falling
onto her face and she brushed them back with one elegant hand. Her scent called
to him and his wolf whined, needing to get closer.
He took a step
toward her. He’d apologize for taking advantage earlier, offer to buy her a
drink. Maybe try another kiss later when she’d forgiven him. He still had
plenty of time for the Pack business, and a little fun first would satisfy his
wolf. Confident, he took another step, but then stopped.
She was with
someone. A guy. Sasha’s wolf growled when the guy held out his hand to her, and
then quieted again when she refused. This was stupid. He didn’t even know her.
One kiss was all they shared. Yeah, and what a kiss. She was a gorgeous,
hard-assed girl and it stood to reason she’d have a boyfriend. All the same,
for whatever reason, she didn’t want to hold the guy’s hand and that was enough
of an excuse for Sasha to look out for her. When the couple walked into a
waterfront restaurant, he followed.

A Handful Of Wolf is
available 25 November 2013, from Liquid Silver Books.
Sasha's not a looking-to-the-future kind of
guy, but he's made an exception with his plans to travel and meet lots of
pretty girls. Too bad his Pack Alpha, fate, and reality have other ideas about
his trip abroad. He's pretty sure he didn't sign on to be a diplomat for the
Snowdonia Wolf Pack. Or to find a Mate. Especially not a human Mate.
Megan knows better than to let a
sweet-talking charmer get under her skin, but Sasha's sexy playfulness is
making her forget all her rules. Except one: she's not willing to risk her
heart by falling in love. The gorgeous boy from Wales can only be a fling,
especially since her over-protective brothers hate him on sight.
In the midst of a wolf uprising, a hesitant
Mate, and Megan’s complicated family ties, Sasha learns that sometimes
impulsiveness is dangerous and even lethal. Can he show Megan why they belong
together before it all comes crashing down around him and he loses his Mate
forever?
