Throughout the novel, she transforms into everything from a Secretary Bird to a jaguar, and she can travel by air, land, or water.
And Rasik, the caracal shifter who loves her, is no less amazing. Because I incorporated so many animals into Tribal Shift, I had to do a lot of research for this book. I learned more than I expected and had a blast in the process. They always get excited when I first come home. Do you want to meet them? They bed down in the kennel attached to the house. It was warm and inviting, and the hounds smelled of excitement and happiness when they spotted their master. They were both as tall as Gilby.
One was black with a white face and underside, while the other had the same pattern but with gold instead of black. Otherwise they looked identical. At least, she thought the hounds matched until they moved their feet. Gilby petted the black-and-white hound.
She loves to run. Most sleds are pulled by a single hound, but I use them both and put Onnika in front to help her sister. She keeps Halle moving forward in a straight line and makes up for her lack of strength on the right side. With the two of them pulling the sled and me not weighing as much as most men, I can really fly.
She also recognized that speed could be as valuable, or even more useful, than brute strength. Having greeted their master, the canines turned their attention to Miksa. Most animals grew agitated around the Children of Nanook since they sensed the predator beneath the skin.
The gold-toned one, Onnika, responded with wariness and uncertainty, audibly sniffing without drawing closer. Ironically, it was Halle—clearly the more submissive hound—who was the first to venture closer. The hound kept her head low as she limped up to Miksa and smelled her all over.
Halle must have been satisfied because she snorted and walked back to Gilby when she was done. Then he turned and gave Miksa an intense look. She grew hyperaware of her breasts, and she felt like she was melting between her legs.
She followed him out of the kennel and back into the main part of the house. His bedroom, she discovered, was a large but cozy space. A small fire heated the room, while the fur blankets on the bed promised a sensual treat.
Gilby stood within the glow of the flames and pulled his shirt off over his head. He revealed strong arms and a chiseled chest and abs. She was pleased to see that he was well proportioned, though he was no less impressive for packing so much muscle onto a short frame.

Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. The very idea of a modern metropolis evokes visions of bustling sidewalks, vital mass transit, and a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly urban core.
But in the typical American city, the car is still king, and downtown is a place that's easy to drive to but often not worth arriving at. Making walkability happen is relatively easy and cheap; seeing exactly what needs to be done is the trick.
In this essential new book, Speck reveals the invisible workings of the city, how simple decisions have cascading effects, and how we can all make the right choices for our communities. Bursting with sharp observations and real-world examples, giving key insight into what urban planners actually do and how places can and do change, Walkable City lays out a practical, necessary, and eminently achievable vision of how to make our normal American cities great again.
