Bonds of Fenris OR a fellow blogger noteworthy debut!

My dear readers, it is always a great pleasure when I see self-published authors who can come up with really good covers. I almost never do cover reveals, but I just had to make an exception for this one...

S.J. Bell is a fellow blogger of Lupins and Lunatics turned a debut author whose novel Bonds of Fenris is out on Smashwords on 7th of May 2012. 

You can find him on his blog. Cover art is by the delightful Stephanie Mooney. 

Summary

Talia Thornwood's life ended one year ago, when she became a werewolf. She survived the attack, and the horrifying transformation a month later, but the life she has now is barely worth living. She lurks about in a filthy, run-down house, with too many werewolves crammed into too small a space. Every day is a struggle against the stress of human contact, the romantic prodding of her obnoxious packmate Pierce, and the gnawing hunger for flesh in her soul.

She's all but resigned herself to a dreary existence on the margins of society when she meets Corwin. Corwin is a werewolf like none other. He walks among humans as if it was nothing, and can keep his wolf under control even when the moon is full. Talia's mind is suddenly opened to the possibilities before her, and the realization of how little she really knows about lycanthropy.

Corwin claims that he can teach her how to cope as he does, even how to transcend her affliction. But it will not be easy. It is a hard education that requires her to question everything her pack taught her, and confront exactly what she has become. And, more amazingly, what she never stopped being.

I do love the sound of this book and wish S.J. best of luck!
