Author Bio:

M.A. Church is a true Southern belle who spent many years in the elementary education sector. Now she spends her days lost in fantasy worlds, arguing with hardheaded aliens on far-off planets, herding her numerous shifters, or trying to tempt her country boys away from their fishing poles. It’s a full time job, but hey, someone’s gotta do it!

When not writing, she’s exploring the latest M/M novel to hit the market, watching her beloved Steelers, or sitting glued to HGTV. That’s if she’s not on the back porch tending to the demanding wildlife around the pond in the backyard. The ducks are very outspoken. She’s married to her high school sweetheart, and they have two children.

She was a finalist in the Rainbow awards for 2013.

Author Interview:

Q: I see Shadows in the Night won a couple of Rainbow awards. Do you think this is your best work, or do you think you have something better that has been overlooked?

A: Thank you! I’m very happy with how Shadows turned out, but it’s not my favorite. I’m also not sure it’s even my best, lol. The Harvest series, while probably not my best, either, since it was one of the first things I ever wrote, is by far my favorite. It *had* been entered in 2014 Rainbow awards, but I had to pull it out in October.

Q: Is there a story you haven’t yet written that you want to? If so, can you give us a hint at the story?

A: Honestly, no. I *used* to answer that by saying I wanted to write a dark desire story where both my main characters were basically evil, lol. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.

My Bad Boys Club series is sexy, but there’s no *good* guys here, lol, just a question of who’s the less evil. It was actually hard to write since most of my work is much more upbeat.

Q: What is your favorite research method?

A: Video. *wink*

Q: What is your favorite thing about living in the South? What is your least favorite?

A: I love it down here because it doesn’t get too terribly cold. I hate snow. I hate the cold, lol. Give me warm weather!

The flip side of that is the warm weather, lol. When’s it’s 110 in the shade and it’s so humid you can’t breathe, I’d kill for a little cold weather. That usually doesn’t last long. A few days of below freezing temps and I’m ready for summer!

Q: What about your experience living in the South most influences your writing?

A: You see a lot of country boys in my stories. I’m not talking cowboy, that’s not the same to me. The men here might wear cowboy boots, but they’re usually standing beside a pond, fishing, not riding a horse, lol.

They like to hunt, ride 4-wheelers, and go muddying. Their attitudes are more laid back. I don’t do too many characters in three-piece suits. (Okay, I’ve done a few, lol!) The majority of my guys like to get their hands dirty.

Blurb(s):

A snowstorm in the South—on New Year’s Eve—is a perfect recipe for a catastrophe. After two soul-crushing bad breaks, Kirk’s waiting for disaster number three to strike when naturally, two stray cats arrive on his doorstep during the storm and decide to make themselves at home. Tenderhearted Kirk lets them stay even though there’s something decidedly odd about his overly friendly felines.

Out of the punishing weather, and full of tuna, Dolf and Tal are happy to be snug in Kirk’s house. But then their human goes outside for firewood and suffers a nasty fall that leaves him unconscious. Now the two cats have no choice but to reveal themselves.

Kirk wakes up to find the two kitties are actually Dolf and Tal. They’re cat shifters—and his destined mates. Being part of a feline threesome is enough for Kirk to grapple with, but soon he learns they come from a clowder that doesn’t believe humans and shifters should mix. Kirk knew those two cats would be trouble. Little does he know the real trouble lies ahead.

Excerpt:

Dolf picked out the saw he wanted, then followed Tal to another aisle. His mate pointed out the different kinds, but Tal’s words had rapidly faded into a meaningless buzz. There, on the air currents in the store, was the sweetest scent. It was light and flowery, reminding him of honeysuckle. He breathed deeply, taking the scent into himself. His cock hardened immediately and his head spun. A yowl threatened to escape.

That scent… that scent was seductive and alluring. It spoke to him, whispering things that made him need. His cat paced frantically in his mind, tail slashing madly. The need to pounce, to sink his canines in and drink that sweet, life-giving blood of his…. His gums tingled and saliva flooded his mouth.

He swallowed, then swallowed again as his head pounded, his heart rate spiking as one thought screamed through his mind: Mate! Another mate! Where was that scent coming from? Or who? And by the goddess, why? He already had a mate. What was their goddess thinking, giving him another? But he couldn’t ignore the reaction. It had been the same when he met Tal.
