To my readers: I apologize for posting Five on Friday early. However, my website will be down for maintenance on Friday, but will be back online Saturday. Thanks for you patience.

NOW, to today’s guest, P. J. MacLayne. I’ve featured one of her books before, and today, we take a look at Wolves’ Gambit, along with her answers to five questions.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

I’m pretty close to it right now. If I could live anywhere, it would be high in the Rocky Mountains. A cabin is fine, as long as it’s a big cabin. And it has to have internet access. I don’t care about TV, but I need the internet for research and to sell my books. I’ve lives in several parts of the US, including both coats, and I’ll take the mountains over the beach any day.

What is one of your favorite quotes?

I’m rather fond of “Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.” Nobody can track down where it came from for sure, but it may pay homage to a quote from the Lord of the Rings.

If you could have a superpower, what would it be?

If I had a super power it would be the ability to heal, or at least to relieve pain. I’ve known too many people that medicine can’t fix, and I’d love to be able to help them, even for short periods of time.

What were you like in high school? Popular or not?

Not. I was a country kid, not a city kid. I didn’t come from a rich family and was a bit of a loner. Plus, I was smarter than many of the popular kids. That all added up to me not being part of the “in” crowd, even in grade school.

What would you choose as your mascot/avatar/spirit animal?

My spirit animal is the dragonfly. I didn’t choose it, it chose me, and I’m good with it. I love the way a dragonfly’s wings shimmer in the sunlight as it flitters in the breeze. I’ve been known to rescue dragonflies when they accidentally get inside a building. They deserve to live their short but beautiful lives in the open.

Blurb for Wolves’ Gambit:
Wolf-shifter Lori Grenville was rescued from near-slavery and a brutal pack leader by the Free Wolves. To pay back the favor, she’s dedicated her life to helping others in the same situation, leading shifters to safety and a new start, risking her life in the process. She’s faced down alphas and has no qualms in undermining pack structure.

Now she’s challenged with the task of restoring an alpha to his rightful place. If she gets it right, she can stop a war from ripping apart two packs and spreading across an entire state. If she fails, she’ll be among the first to die.

There’s still the option of walking away and letting the Jaeger and Destin packs destroy each other. That means she’ll fail in her original mission of rescuing the daughter of the Jaeger alpha before the girl is forced into marriage for political gain.

Lori hasn’t failed in a mission yet. This one may be the exception.

Although Wolves’ Gambit is the third book in the Free Wolves series, each book can be read as a standalone.
