Today I'm delighted to welcome Jemi Fraser to talk about her Bloo Moose Romance series!
***
Thanks so much for having my on your
blog today, Shannon!
When I was a kid, I read Never Cry Wolf by Farley
Mowat.
What a book! The story follows Mowat’s real-life experience in Canada’s north.
He was hired by the government to find out why the wolves were indiscriminately
slaughtering caribou. Of course, he found no such thing. The book is a
fascinating account of Mowat’s year long study of the often-maligned wolves.
They’ve also made a movie based on his book/experience.
In the book, we see the powerful
prejudices people had against wolves and the assumptions made from rumours and non-scientific
information. (Sadly we still see too many parallels in today’s world.)
One of the characters in Reaching For
Normal is a former SEAL who is now helping track wolves for the people
reintegrating the animals into Vermont.
Myla is an adventure writer who is
experiencing winter for the first time. When they hear wolves howling, Myla is
terrified and Sawyer is excited.
The crazy man was enthralled by wolf
howls. How was she supposed to save a nutcase?
But, Myla is willing to learn…
“I was getting my information from
Little Red and her pig buddies.”
The wolf aspect is out on the
periphery of the story, but it’s an integral part to the growth of both
characters.
How about you? Any other Mowat fans?
Anyone interested in wolves?
Welcome
to Bloo Moose, Vermont
where love is worth the risk! Small-town contemporary romance with an element
of suspense. Each book is a stand-alone.
Reaching
For Normal
She’s no damsel in distress.
He’s no Prince Charming. But if
they don’t team up it won’t be only wolves that’ll be dying.
Reaching
For Risks
One
Reno List for the B&B. One Risk List for herself. One sexy retailer who
should be the last one she wants.
Reaching
For Everything
Love
means nothing in tennis. Can he prove to her that love means everything in
life?
Jemi
Fraser writes both fiction and nonfiction. Her nonfiction work focuses on the
ways that dementia has impacted her family. Her fiction work varies from
contemporary romance to suspense and flash fiction. Years as a teacher have
taught Jemi that life is short and that happy endings are a must.
Jemi
lives in Northern Ontario, Canada where snow is always a topic of conversation
and the autumn leaves make everything better.

I love that you brought up Never Cry Wolf! I've never read the book, but I'd like to. It was a movie I used to watch with my dad, and I have such fond memories of it. I wish you much good luck with your launch!
May you find your Muse.

That's a great element to include in your book. Never read Never Cry Wolf but I did see the movie. Wolves get such a bad rap.
Congrats, Jemi! I love wolves. I wonder why...? LOL
I agree! Wolves are such amazing family animals.
LOL ... let me think for a minute! :)
Thanks! They really are villainized and they're amazing animals
Me too, Joylene! On all counts :)
