31 Days of Halloween – Amy Burgess
Hi, my name is Amy Lee Burgess and I write a paranormal
romance series called The Wolf Within for Lyrical Press. Although there’s definitely romance in the
air with every novel, the main focus is on a mystery that needs to be solved.

The first novel, Beneath
the Skin, picks up two years after the accident when Stanzie goes to a
Great Gathering in Paris to meet a potential new bond mate and rejoin the Great
Pack. An old boyfriend of hers dies
during the Great Hunt and suspicion is cast upon Stanzie. Liam Murphy, another
Pack shifter with an equally sad past, steps in to defend her. So does a
Councilor named Jason Allerton, who asks Stanzie and Murphy to investigate not
only the death at the Great Gathering, but other suspicious deaths, which have
taken place in packs worldwide.

This series has been a blast to write and a real
journey. You see, there’s something not
quite right with Stanzie’s wolf. She’s
different than everyone else’s and Stanzie’s quest to understand and connect
with her wolf takes her deep into the realm of self discovery.

I’m an ardent fan of animals and in awe of how they
communicate with us. Part of why I write
this series is to explore mankind’s connection to animals. The wolves of the Great Pack are creatures in
their own right, not just aspects or alter-egos of the human shifters. How they interact with each other and their
world is an integral part of the novels.
Stanzie’s wolf is a conduit and how she sees her wolf makes her think

I’d really love it if you’d spend a few hours in Stanzie’s
world so she and her wolf could introduce themselves.
