Something deep inside Boone twisted at his gut, urging him to seek out and locate this strange, unseen source demanding his attention. He hung his pliers on the fence, shucked off his gloves, and sniffed again, following his nose across the pasture. Cautious steps led him into the woods and down the steep slope to the edge of the creek.
Tom followed Boone on his path toward the highway, using the rocks dotting the top of the grade as stepping stones. Several afternoon thunderstorms from the past week had increased the creek’s water level to a near brimming capacity, rendering the saturated ground soft and unstable.
“Boone, I smell blood. Somebody’s hurt. I’m gonna cut across the highway and check on Amos. He’s workin’ alone today. If there’s been an accident, he might need help.” Tom picked up the pace and broke off to the left.
Boone stopped in his tracks, drawing in a fresh breath of the air around him and surveying the area left to right. “It’s not Amos. Tom, look!” He yelled over his shoulder and pointed a hundred yards or so down the way to a green vehicle covered with broken branches and loose foliage. The colors blending together all but concealing the wreckage from their view.
He worked his way to the SUV as fast he dared, keeping a cautious eye on his footing. Still spinning, the front wheels hung over the edge of the creek bank. A slight hissing sound accompanied a slim column of steam slipping from under the crumpled hood.
Boone tested the ground with each step, inching his way around the vehicle to the driver’s side window and slapping the glass with both palms to get the attention of the occupant. The blood spatters smeared on the glass sent urgent concern rushing through him.
He continued smacking the glass and calling to the female inside, hoping for any movement or sound to indicate she was still alive. “Hey. Are you okay? Hey, lady!”
A slight whimper was her only response, but the precise indication Boone needed to make the decision on his next course of action. He grasped the handle and grunted, ripping the door open, and separating it from its hinges.
He wouldn’t be expected to explain how that was possible. The woman inside the car had passed out again and Tom was the only other person around. The strength of their kind didn’t compare to human. He tossed the door over his shoulder, sinking it deep into the creek. A matter he’d worry about another time. At this moment, he needed to get the woman to his cabin and save her life.

If your book had a candle, what scent would it be?
It’s funny you should ask this question since a special scent grabs Boone’s attention in the first few pages of the book. Hmmm . . . But back to your question. Look at that cover! The great outdoors means my candle would smell like fresh cut pine or cedar or maybe the scent of clean air just after a spring rain. Great, now I want to go candle shopping
How did you come up with name of this book?
Everyone, no matter what part of the country you’re from, no matter what your status in life is wants to belong and feel at home, Carly and Boone are no different in their desire to have a place they belong.
Where did you come up with the names in the story?
Some names for my characters come from baby books. Many names are our pets, past and present. However, Boone’s name has been hanging out in the archives of my mind for years.
When my girls were in elementary school, there was a little fellow named Daniel. His family had nick-named him Boone and it stuck. Boone stole the show at the Thanksgiving play with his reoccurring one-liner, “Praise the Lord!” The line that, for sweet little Boone came out more like, “Pa-laise the Laward!” Love that kid!
What can we expect from you in the future?
Another secondary character from my were-cougar book has been lurking around in my mind for several years. She was a sassy teen when first introduced who got into big trouble trying to do the right thing. She had so many secrets and kept whispering in my ear until I gave in and started writing her story. My plan is to have it completed by early summer for a spring 2020 release. Look out y’all. Here comes Roxie Sanders.
As a writer, what would you choose as your mascot/avatar/spirit animal?
I have a total of four books now featuring a cat of some kind, cougars, panthers, and jaguars so maybe my spirit animal chose me.
What are you passionate about these days?
My writing of course and since Spring has sprung around here, I’ve been doing some yard work and a little gardening.
