Wolf, WY

There’s nothing like a fresh start, and for Randy, still nursing wounds left by a cheating ex and harboring a deep mistrust for all things corporate, Wolf, Wyoming seems like the perfect place to start over. Secluded, quiet, and self-sufficient, Wolf is bound to not only inspire, but to bring Randy the peace he needs. The view’s not bad, either.

Vaughn O’Connell and his family are Randy’s only neighbors for miles, and while Randy knows it’s somewhat unlikely that a man with three kids is gay, it doesn’t hurt to look. When a misunderstanding brings Randy face to face with both Vaughn and his eighteen year old son, Lyle, Randy’s not sure what to feel about either of them.

But things are not what they appear in Wolf, and the closer Randy gets, the stranger the O’Connell family seems…

Genre: Gay, Paranormal, Urban Fantasy

We’ve finally come to the end of the Wolf, WY Tiny Teasers Blog Tour and Giveaway. For those that have followed the tour from the beginning: I hope you’ve enjoyed the teasers and I thank you for your faithful support. For anyone joining us for the first time, hello and welcome!

I’ve introduced a bunch of characters along the way: Randy Connor, Wolf WY’s MC; Vaughn O’Connell and his children Lyle, Isaac, and Hannah. We’ve met Randy’s parents, Mary and Henry. We’ve peeked at a couple of Wyoming communities that the story takes place in by taking a stroll through Sheridan and sharing an introspective moment in Wolf. We’ve even had a chance to meet a couple of members of the local wildlife. So for this last post I figured we should probably get a chance to experience one of the locals that walk on two legs instead of four.

One of the oddest things about small town people is how well you get to know them. It doesn’t matter if they’re doctors, farmers, mayors, or that one guy that doesn’t seem to have a job at all but can still afford to eat at the diner every morning (I think he grows the Mary Jane, your dad will tell your mom assuming that you’re too young to understand; And I think you should mind your tongue, your mom will tell your dad because she’s no fool and she’s more than aware that kids these days are far brighter than they appear to be – did I mention that I spent a couple of years in a small town as a kid as well as my recent stint?), you still know them on a first name basis, you know where they live, and you know what their kids have been up to and for how long. Unlike the city, everybody in a small town becomes a kind of extended family – even the people you don’t really like. They will rat your ass out to your mom, but they’ll also stand up for you if somebody’s trying to take a strip off you. (God forbid that somebody be an out-of-towner.) They’ll give you a dollar if you’re short at the checkout, but they’ll also tell the whole damn town that you were short of funds. They will pick you up if you’re out walking in the rain, and they will bang on your door if your mailbox doesn’t get emptied just to make sure you’re still alive. It’s endearing. It’s also exhausting.

Some days I miss it. Most days I don’t. 😉

Anyway, before I get into the last introduction, I want to remind you that these posts aren’t just about the excerpts from the novel. There’s also a giveaway – a single grand prize that includes a signed copy of Wolf, WY, a $20 LT3 gift certificate, and a Wind & Fire paw print bangle that not only looks cool, is not only manufactured with some very interesting concepts, but that also supports a good cause. Be sure to read through to the end to find out more details on the prizes and how to participate.

So for the final time, please allow me to introduce Wolf, WY’s next character:

Tiny Teaser: Introducing – Doctor Clayton Briar

 “I don’t have to tell you this is normal, Vaughn. He’s not the first one we’ve gone through, and he won’t be the last. If there was some kind of drug I could give him to take the edge of, I would, but you and I both know—”

Randy frowned and leaned against the wall. Normal? Drug? What was actually wrong with him, then? It was just a banged up knee, for heaven’s sake.

Vaughn cut the doctor short with a tone that was caustic, even though the reply sounded resignedly practiced. “That if he doesn’t go through it, he’ll never prove his right to own it. I’m not a moron, Clayton. I know this. I also know that we don’t need Randy getting cuffed around and us trying to explain what happened to one of his folks’ city doctors.”

“So you’re worried about the family? Are they around? You think they’d interfere—”

“Of course they’d interfere. His mother is some big-time judge back in D.C. and I’ve seen his father. For Christ’s sake, I watched him come out and snug up the goddamn tires I put on Randy’s truck. Randy’s thirty-two years old and his daddy’s still checking his tires for him. That’s the kind of dad that’s going to ask questions if—”

“City folk get mauled all the time in places like this.”

“Not this one.”

Something creaked—a chair, the floor, the window—and Randy plastered himself against the wall with wide eyes and a thumping chest. But no one came out of the doorway. Nothing moved in the hallway.

“Besides, you know the rule. And an attack on a person is an attack on a person even if it’s not on purpose. The committee will lose their minds—”

“No one here is going to let the committee know if your boy gets a little out of square with an outsider.” The doctor’s voice fell to a level that Randy had to strain to hear. “Not your boy, Vaughn. We wouldn’t let that happen.”

Henley was born with a full-blown passion for run-on sentences, a zealous indulgence in all words descriptive, and the endearing tendency to overuse punctuation. Since the early years Henley has been an enthusiastic writer, from the first few I-love-my-dog stories to the current leap into erotica. A self-professed Google genius, Henley lives for the hours spent digging through the Internet for ‘research purposes’ which, more often than not, lead seven thousand miles away from first intentions but bring Henley to new discoveries and ideas that, once seeded, tend to flourish.

Henley has been proudly publishing with Less Than Three Press since 2012, and has been writing like mad ever since—an indentured servant to the belief that romance and true love can mend the most broken soul. Even when presented in prose.
