Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Serengeti is one of the world's most renowned ecosystems, and at its apex prowls the Serengeti Lion. These majestic mammals are iconic, and integral, and also in constant danger from encroaching humans. Craig Packer is among the unique species that has spent a lifetime ensuring the study and perpetuity of these dark maned cats. He has dedicated countless research hours and dollars to the coexistence of humans and wildlife in the Serengeti. He has even proposed ways of using lion hunting to ensure their value, and hence their protection. "Lions in the Balance "takes us into the red-in-tooth-and-claw world of lion conservation. It is an incredibly candid, entertaining, and at points alarming look at what the future of the Serengeti lions entails, and how the politics of conservation require survival strategies far more creative and powerful than what animals (humans included) on the savannas must possess. A sequel to Mr. Packer's "Into Africa, "this diary based chronicle of the past decade draws readers along the dusty trails and into the spectacular sunsets of the Serengeti. Through his experiences we learn that female lions prefer their male manes dark and long, that lion attacks on humans most commonly occur during the full moon cycles, and that citizen science is shaping the world--Packer's initiative Snapshot Serengeti has helped engage globally, and locally, and has identified thousands of images of the Serengeti. The narrative moves from Arusha to the Serengeti to Washington DC, and with some temporal hopping, as often the stories are as rich and multilayered as the Serengeti ecosystem. And Mr. Packer demonstrates that he possesses himself a bit of cat, having needed nearly nine lives to persist in the ever dynamic and vexed world of conservation in Africa.

Book excerpt: Roland had just been released from prison after two long, torturous years. In there, he’d met Lee, an officer, who’d taken an instant liking to him. Roland This was my chance! A chance at a new life. I could finally leave behind my dark past and - with the were-lion’s help - finally follow my passions and hopefully make something of myself. But his past would not be so easily dismissed. Old habits die hard and when you have nowhere to go and nothing to eat, moral decisions become infinitely more difficult. Lee Was a were-lion who loved to chase the bad guys. Tall, golden-haired and as handsome as he was affable, he had the world in the palm of his hand. But what he didn’t have was… Riley Riley was the city’s notorious kingpin. Everywhere one turned, one would find Riley’s hand in the proverbial pie. Even the police were not immune. And Riley wanted Roland back. Specifically, he wanted Roland to pull off the heist of the century. Or he’d “take care” of Lee. Would Roland turn his back on his mate, the father of his un-born children, and join forces with the dark criminal once again just to save Lee’s life? Or would he defy Riley and lose Lee? Whatever the choice, it was one only a fiery fox could make.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new town, a new cast of characters, a new adventure. Annabelle Sanchez has lived her entire life in the shadows, watching the world from the outside. Having grown up in foster care until she ran away at the age of fourteen, Annabelle doesn't trust anyone except for the ragtag group of shifters who have become her family. Cold, scared and alone on the streets, Annabelle stumbles across Mac Gordon, the only person to ever tell her why she's so different from other people. Mac brings her into his family—the bar he owns and the underground network where he helps shifters disappear when they need to. Annabelle is furiously loyal and she will not let anyone hurt her family. When an agent from the Coalition starts sniffing around, Annabelle knows there is more to the gruff shifter than what's on the surface. The way she responds around him is both frightening and exciting. Family bonds are tested when Annabelle starts spending time alone with Logan. Logan Coldwell has lost everything when he joins a new shifter organization looking for law enforcement agents for its ranks. Logan jumped at the chance to start over after being rejected by his birth family. He puts everything he has into his job, the only thing he has left. For two years Logan has had one goal—to protect innocent shifters and make those who break the law pay. His latest assignment leads him to a small northern California town that is chock-full of all kinds of shifter species. Several shifters have come before him and have never been seen or heard from again. Logan is determined to find out what is going on, no matter how much he'd really like to be investigating the beautiful and sweet Annabelle.
