Back Cover Blurb - I Kissed A Dog

 

Chloe Carpenter isn't like other women. She can communicate with animals, a gift she unwrapped following one of her frequent dances with death.

By day, Chloe works at the Plum Beach Wildlife Park where her unique talents nurture the animals in her care. Her quiet existence is shattered when a new male veterinarian roars into the park and sets his golden gaze on her. If Chloe had her way, he'd roar right back out.
Problem: He's her new coworker and he's saved her life twice in the past twenty-four hours.

Zane Marshall, Enforcer for the Pacific Pack of purebred werewolves, has a job to do - figure out who or what is mutilating the young men of Plum Beach.

With orders to find the woman who talks to animals, he accepts a position working alongside the fiery Chloe Carpenter, a female who ignites his interest and gives passionate meaning to his empty existence.
Problem: She despises him.
Together, they're forced to unravel a mystery of supernatural proportions, a murderous plot with eternal implications. In the process they discover opposites really do attract.
Major Problem: Zane is pledged to another woman, and she'll do anything to keep him from Chloe.

Like most authors, Carol Van Atta is no stranger to the written word. She penned a short novel at age 12 (somewhat frightening illustrations included) and had a creative writing piece published in her high school newspaper. Devouring books from numerous genres, she developed a deep thirst for more reading materials, and could almost always be found with her nose in a book.

She has contributed to several, popular inspirational anthologies and devotional books, and lives in the rainy wetlands of Oregon with her terrifying teens and a small zoo of animals. She is taking an undetermined hiatus away from inspirational writing to delve into her darker side. It’s been rumored this genre-jumping occurred after Carol discovered two suspicious red marks on her neck, and experienced an unquenchable urge to howl at the moon.
