Mason Pierce, the hero in HOWLING FOR ATTENTION, is a wolf shifter. In the age-old question for paranormal romance fans of who’s better – I usually prefer shifters.

The men are wild, hot but loving and protective. They’re also loyal and let’s not forget they make their mates their priority. I think every woman wants a man like that.   There are Alpha heroes, and then there are Alphaholes. How would you describe Mason? I love shifter heroes who are strong and secure without being overbearing and roid rage-esque. I feel like Mason is definitely strong and secure. He’s just a man who’s looking for a quiet place to live. He’s not a jerk, but he’s not the life of the party either. He’s messed up in the past and wants to just be alone to deal with it.

It’s our great pleasure to present Heather McCorkle!   Writes: Hi potential readers! Thanks for checking me out. I write urban fantasy about Viking-descended werewolves with booty-kicking female main characters and the alpha males who love them. My Children of Fenrir (1 novella and three books out) and Shifters Seeker (1 novella out and the first novel in the series coming August 30th, 2022!) series are based around a small town in Montana where the entire population is werewolves, but there are all kinds of shifters and other supernatural beings in my novels.
