Wolfsbane

by N. J. Layouni

  The next book in the series is

  Ironheart: Anselm’s Tale.

  Available Now!

  Anselm is gravely wounded. Perhaps mortally so.

  Lost within his fevered dreams, he journeys back to the long-ago summers of his youth, to a time when the bonds of family and friendship had still been unbroken.

  Through the eyes of the boy he had been, and those of the man he was to become, Anselm sees the world that might have been—relives a love that should have been—if only the spirits had been kinder.

  Isobel. The girl who had stolen his heart and, ultimately, sealed his fate.

  As his body lies broken within his bedchamber in Edgeway castle, Anselm’s spirit soars free, wandering the lonely, narrow pathway that separates the realm of life from death.

  A life that no longer wants him, or the love that never died?

  Which will be the strongest lure?

  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  So many people have helped me get ‘Wolfsbane’ out into the world. Here are just a few of them:

  Thank you to all the fabulous people at ‘Critique Circle’ who toiled through the earliest versions of my manuscript. Your help was, as always, invaluable. Special thanks go to Belfast Larry, Highlander Jill, and ‘Gina G’ Chris for their tenacity. I promise I’ll be back critiquing you guys very soon!

  To Jamie, Cristin, Sharon, Rox, and last, but by no means least, Claudia—my Facebook ‘Sexy’ crew—thank you for your advice, your encouragement, and your friendship. You brighten the darkest of days.

  To Krissie and Andrea—my golden girls. Thank you for for being such wonderful beta-readers. Your beady eyes didn’t miss a trick! I’m so proud to call you my friends.

  Thank you to all the wonderful people who reviewed ‘Hemlock’ and those who gave it space on their fabulous blogs. You guys truly are the unsung heroes of the self-pubbing world. I’m so grateful for all the great work you do.

  Lastly, I want to thank my long-suffering family for their continuing encouragement and patience. You’re my safety net, and I love you all. Special thanks go to my wonderful hubby and our two darling kids for putting up with ‘Momma’ while in ‘crazy-author’ mode! All done now, my lovelies. Until next time...

  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  N.J. Layouni has been weaving stories all of her life—even before she could actually write. For many years, she was a dedicated ‘closet writer’. As a result, the attic space of her home is stuffed to the rafters with piles of aging manuscripts depicting fantastical romantic adventures. Tales of daring sword-wielding heroes and strong, feisty damsels who aren’t too tough to accept a helping hand sometimes.

  As well as being a mouthpiece for the various characters living inside her head, N.J. is a wife, and mother of two children. She lives in Lancashire, UK.
