Reviews for The Orca King, II:

Renee Smith says:  The shape shifting between orca and snake was awesome along with the battle scenes...this was a great 1st time effort for MS. Foster on a male male story .. I look forward to reading the next to see how well she really grasps and researches the mm interactions.

kaisquared wrote:   Thar he blows again!  As preparation for the release of OK II, I went back and reread it...Darr did a great job with her first m/m, which was nicely presented as part of an unlooked for but fulfilling relationship and not just a casual mutual wank...This second coming of Tom is very different than the first, but the spirit of the islands and the voice of the author remain consistent.  Recommended to those who appreciate the gifts of nature in all their forms, and Darr's writing in particular.

Night Owl Romance says:

The Orca King II is a delightfully creative book that takes you on a different journey with a whale shifting King that must make amends for past mistakes by facing the shadow created from them. Facing this shadow will involve confronting an evil serpent that lies in wait within the one person whom he finds could be his life mate. Devon came to the island with a marine construction team, but finds there is more to the island, the people and Tom than he ever could have imagined. The two men are drawn into a passionate relationship that ultimately brings Tom's shadow into contact with the evil that he must conquer to save the ecosystem that depends on his shifting magic. Will Tom and Devon's devotion be strong enough to set right all the wrongs and give Tom back his ability to shift again?

Darragha Foster has penned an interesting and different read that I found very intriguing. The plots native lore comes to life with each page you read. Tom's thoughts and feelings while coming to grip with the consequences from his selfish use of his vision quests and the women he made love to, will keep you turning the pages in wonder. His personal quest will capture the reader while he faces his demons and realizes that his soul mate brings love and danger to all that he rules. This was a unique and enjoyable story filled with magic, lore, and a beautiful romance to touch your heart. Enjoy your trip to Orca Island with The Orca King II.
 

The Orca King and the Orca King, II (and another unpublished Orca King story called:  The Orca King:  Jaded Passions involving Big Tom's son) are set on Orcas Island, Washington, a place I adore.  This is where we like to stay on Orcas.

Current writing news:  The final edits for shifter anthology Half-Were House are in.  Celia Kyle, Mima and I await our cover art and release date.  Liquid Silver Books, naturally :)

Blurbs:

Earning Her Stripes by Mima:

Word of the Day: Disobedient

Meg's been thrown out of her home, rejected by her friends and lover, banished by her pride, and thrust into Half-Were House to continue her obedient life. A life that has nothing to do with being a feline shifter and everything to do with fitting in with humans. Tradition demanded she leave and she can't come back simply because she doesn't have little kitty claws. Determined not to take things belly up just because that's the way she likes it in bed, the sweet submissive disobediently returns to The Valley to reclaim her adored teaching position. With the surprising ally of a surprisingly dominant farmer, Meg faces down prejudiced felines who would love nothing more than to turn her into dog food. The pride's leader lays down the terms for Meg's safe return, but will she be able to help Ben submit enough for her to stay?

Tail Over Whiskers by Darragha Foster:

Blaze tries to live up to her name after being humiliated, branded and banished by the werecat society for being different. Really different. She can only shift when she comes, and then, only partially--and it doesn't last. Looking for love in all the wrong places, she ends up inadvertently scent-matched to another half-were shifter. A dog, of all things. Fighting like cats and dogs takes on a whole new meaning for Blaze and Jack as they struggle to accept their spiritual, and physical, bonds. Are they going to set an example for the shifter prides and packs, or will they simply end up chasing each other's tails?


Piece of Tail by Celia Kyle:

Gina's got a problem. Okay, she doesn't think it's a problem, but the pride that kicked her to the curb sure does. She feels perfect in every way. Curves in all the right places and an attitude that just won't quit, she's got it all. And then some. Now her tail… In her mind, it's just an added bonus. But in the mind of the prides, her ability to only grow a tail proves that she's not were enough and too much kitty for humans. Good thing she's found two men who can't get enough of each other, her and her tail.


I recently finished "Her Personal Trainer" my djinn-in-the-treadmill tale, too.  Not sure where I'm going to submit it.  It's a very sweet (and spicy) tale about an Italian jinni and his breath-mate, a human woman named Maggie.  The story line came to me as I hauled my cookies onto a treadmill at the local gym.  I figured if exercise was accompanied by an orgasm, I'd like it a whole lot more.  In fact, the heroine in "Her Personal Trainer" thinks that everything should be accompanied by an orgasm.  Shopping for veggies, waiting in line, etc.  She really needs to be careful what she wishes for!


I LOVE FACEBOOK!  I am not much of a MySpace person.  Please find me on Facebook!   I'm definitely going to hold give-a-ways for my Facebook friends...so...find me!
