SYNOPSIS:
Discover Cecy Robson’s sensational Weird Girls series for the first time—or go back to the beginning …
The rest of the werewolf pack might consider Aric Connor to be omniscient and destined to save the world when evil returns to claim it. But for the most part, fifteen-year-old Aric ignores the confirmations of his powers, taking everything in stride until he meets her.
Celia Wird wasn’t supposed to awaken naked in the mountains of Colorado, not when she was just stalking her prey in a filthy alley several states away. She especially wasn’t supposed to meet Aric, the handsome werewolf who comes to her aid.
As a supernatural tasked with protecting the earth, Aric sympathizes with Celia’s dangerous situation. He’s also struck by her beauty and kindness. Yet, as much as Aric welcomes Celia, her arrival isn’t a peaceful one.
Dark forces stir in Celia’s presence, resolute on killing her. Aric and his inner beast are adamant about keeping Celia safe and with them. But there’s a time and a place for love, and Aric and Celia might not survive long enough to find it.
*NOTE* Gone Hunting is a prequel to the Weird Girls urban fantasy series. It can be read as a standalone.
DEAR READER,
The night I was born, a bat swept down in front of my father
as he ran along a cobblestone road. My father ignored the bat in his haste to
reach the Central American hospital where my mother labored with me. The bat
disappeared in the shadows. In its place emerged a man, his dark skin bare, his
voice ominous, his imposing form blocking my father’s path. “Be wary of this
one,” he warned in Spanish. “She’s not like the others.” Okay, I’ll confess.
This didn’t happen. But it sounds way cooler than simply admitting my father
used to kiss me goodnight wearing vampire fangs, and that he was the first
person to trigger my overactive imagination. I’ve always loved telling stories
and getting a laugh. I’ve also enjoyed hearing stories, especially of the
paranormal variety. Being of Latin descent, I heard many tales of spirits who
haunt the night, of death lurking in the darkness waiting to claim her victims,
and of circumstances which could only be explained by magic and creatures not
of this earth. The stories frightened me. I often slept clutching a crucifix
while my plastic glow-in-the-dark Virgin Mary stood guard on my nightstand. And
still I begged for more. Sometimes the beasties of the night bumped too hard,
and I swear I could see ghosts floating above me. I trekked on despite my fear,
surviving each night while my plastic protector looked on. On May 1, 2009, I
decided to write a story about four unique women who must trek through their
own darkness where supernasties bump hard, and bite harder. The Weird Girls series
is the journey of Celia, Taran, Shayna, and Emme Wird, sisters who obtained
their powers as a result of a backfired curse placed upon their Latina mother
for marrying outside her race. Their story begins when the supernatural
community of Lake Tahoe becomes aware of who they are, and what they can do.
“Weird” isn’t welcomed among humans, nor is it embraced by those who hunt with
fangs and claws, who cast magic in lethal blows, and who feast on others to
survive. I wanted to show “weird” could be strong, brave, funny, and beautiful.
My “weird” girls will often face great terror, just like my seven-year-old
frightened self, except without a glow-in-the-dark icon to keep them safe.
Despite their fears, they fight like their lives depend on it, with only each
other to rely on. Sometimes, the darkness will devour the sisters. And
sometimes, good won’t succeed in kicking evil’s ass. But just like glow-light
Mary, there is hope. And there is humor―often twisted, a little inappropriate,
and always hilarious―very much like a father saying goodnight to his children
wearing a rubber ghoul mask and owning a collection of fake fangs no adult male
should possess. So, read on and check out my Weird Girls series. Maybe you’ll
find I’m really “not like the others.” Salud! Cecy
