Blurb:

Darien Mackey wasn’t looking for an adventure. For ten years, he’d been happy living in Brooklyn, working as a butcher in the same job, living in the same apartment, dating some “nothing-special” guys. Until one night his buddy Jacob talked him into taking ayahuasca, the soul-changing drug. And Darien had a vision…of a wolf, its all-too-human eyes on him, its paws on his chest, its enquiring mind in his own…

Darien Mackey is changing. He’s more confident, more assertive, hungrier, hornier. And his world is changing around him – his job, his home, his beloved Mechanic’s Library all falling victim to the predations of unscrupulous developers, bent on demolishing the old Brooklyn he loves and replacing it with a forest of condos. But he’s no longer a passive observer of his own life, and as this thing, this power, grows inside of him, he resolves to fight back, to preserve the way of life he loves.

And he’s not alone in the fight. The Lipsius Preservation Society of Brooklyn stands ready to assist in the battle, even though it seems like a bit of a joke to Darien, with its King and its Duke, Marquess, Earl and Viscount.

But there’s nothing funny about his growing attraction to Albeus Finley, King of this mysterious Court. And when slumlords and condo-mongers start to die mysterious, violent deaths at the hands of savage animals, Darien begins to realize that something is afoot in Brooklyn – something supernatural.

And it’s afoot in him, too…

Excerpt:

The wolf’s eyes were lava-yellow with hate. His growl and his snarl were meant to terrify Darien, to freeze him in his tracks, prepare him for his death.

Then something rose up in Darien, rage, frustration, primal energy. And his own lips curled, his own growl met the enemy’s.

The Duke retreated a pace, taken aback. Darien felt sharp pains in his palms and looked down. Where he’d had fingernails, he had claws, long and sharp, and the fists he was making were digging them into his flesh.

He smiled, exhilarated, wild. He lunged and snapped at his enemy, knowing that his canines had become…literally that, elongated spikes ready to tear out a neck.

Darien’s ears were ringing, something surging in him beyond mortal feeling – like testosterone but stronger, more powerful, the smell of victory, immortality.

“The King is mine,” Darien declared. “And I am his.”

He knew he’d taken a step from which there was no turning back. He was the King’s man, the King’s consort. He would open to Albeus and take him, and be taken by him, and he would be alone no more.

He was one of the pack.

And it curdled the blood of men for miles around when he raised his face to the full moon, and howled.

Today I’m very lucky to be interviewing Brad Vance, author of “Werewolves of Brooklyn.” Hi Brad, thank you for agreeing to this interview. Tell us a little about yourself, your background, and your current book.

Thank you, it’s a pleasure!

Q: Is there a character in your books that you can’t stand? (Antagonist for example) And what makes them someone you don’t like?

A: Terence Reynard, the condo developer in “Werewolves of Brooklyn.” He just represents everything awful about rich people – the willingness to trample on everything that makes life livable for the rest of us, just to put one more nickel in his pocket.

Q: Are there misconceptions people have about your genre?

A: Well, this is my first foray into the shifter genre. I’d say that if there was a misconception, it’s that the genre is tapped out, that nobody’s going to do anything in it ever again except “True Blood” rehashes. I went in a new direction with my werewolves – it’s not a curse, there’s no full moon stuff going on, and I based them more on real wolf societies than on traditional werebook tropes.

Q: Is there message in your novel that you hope readers grasp?

A: That transformation is possible, that wonderful things can happen when you finally find your “real” family, that you can take action and become the captain of your own ship, your own destiny.

Q: How has your writing evolved since your first book? (If this is your first book, how do you hope it evolves?)

A: I’ve learned not to rant and rave! I used to go on long political or social or theoretical digressions as if My Opinion was what people were reading for. Now if I can’t put it into one pithy, clever sentence, out it goes.

Q: One food you don’t care if you never eat it again.

A: Broccoli. No amount of cheese can change the fact that it’s still broccoli.
