Story Behind The Book
As a child I experienced bullying on numerous occasions. Being a very vocal (loud-mouth kid/teen) the bullying never really lasted. When I set out the write Tamyra's book I was thinking 'what if' and at some point she formed fully as a painfully shy character and I knew she was going to face some of the bullying I faced when I was young, but she wouldn't be as confrontational as I was in dealing with the bullies. Oh ya, and the werewolf part? Well that's just good fun!
