The first in the series, She-Wolf is the début book. Although
previously short stories had been published on the internet She-Wolf
if the first in printed published format.
This book follows Meg Mackenzie a young rather naive girl. It follows
what happens to her and her point of view, she is the only female
member of the Wolfe race of vampires. She grows into a passionate
person and being a form of Succubus her desires for love and blood
come in many shapes and forms.
Storyline:
Meg the only child is brought up on a large farm in the
south area of the Highlands of Scotland. She seems to have
an over active imagination believing in elves, what her
parents don't realise is that she is not
Meg's parents end up killed in a car crash, she is left to
run the farm herself at a young age, she can't cope with all
the animals and sells them, she has to take a job to pay the
bills and ends up working in the village as a cleaner and
barmaid. On her 18th birthday a small party is held for her
where she meets a handsome stranger, she introduces herself
to him finding out he's called Edward. After a couple of
weeks she meets him on her way home where she invites him
round for a cup of coco. She takes the chance and asks him
to be her boyfriend, he accepts and she gets her first kiss
but he tries to take it further. Meg has to tell him she has
old fashioned views when it comes to extramarital sex, a
little surprised by his reaction she thinks their
relationship is over before it has begun but instead she
gets a pleasant surprise as he is willing to wait.
They are happy and together nearly two years Meg is
wondering if he will ever get round to proposing to her then
on her 20th birthday she gets the surprise she wanted but
not quite everything she was expecting.
Meg wakes from a terrible dream to discover Edward no longer
looks the same as before, then her fears are realised when
she is told that she too is now a vampire. Meg spends a few
nights being taught the basics of being a vampire and gets
to meet her elf again, this time she understands. She is
taken to Edinburgh where Edward lives and is introduced to a
few of the vampires, meeting the ruling vampire named The
Prince she finds everyone a bit strange.
On her wedding night Meg is convinced that Edward is
sleeping with Eladria, she tries to ignore it then when it
comes down to it the first time they will be together
intimately he has a very odd habit when he climaxes.
While on their honeymoon in Paris Edward is called into
work, Meg gets a glimpse of what he does for a living and
she gets to see the Lilitu that she has been told are so
nasty.
Meg spends some time in Edinburgh living with Edward trying
to learn the ways of her vampire fore-fathers, she meets
different characters along the way all odd in their own way,
Brought back to Edinburgh to readjust to society she settles
back into her comfortable way of life but the loneliness
brought about by Edward's long absences gets to her and she
spends a night with John, a young Grendel she has become
friends with. After some teasing from The Prince Edward
eventually finds out what happened and wants a separation
but because they are Creator and protégé they can not until
she is no longer a Novus.
Having no idea whereabouts in America they are going Meg
gets a surprise when they land in New York.
New York is an experience and a half, Edward acts a bit odd
kind of like a kid let loose for the first time Meg finds it
all very confusing, she is nearly caught being a vampire by
the human limo driver so she decides to make him her pet Cruorin. Everything is a delight it seems to good to be
true, it all comes crashing down hard and Meg ends up on the
run trying to avoid everyone even the Gaea as a whole.
She struggles to survive on her own in New York tormented by
enemies and annoyed by humans she thinks she comes up with a
plan but the arrival of a baby called Eddie is too much for
her to bear.
imagining it, a
psychologist is called in to try and determine if how crazy
she is but nothing is proved and she appears to be a
'normal' little girl. However there really is an 'elf' she
nicknames Sparkles (I'd just like to point out that he DOES
NOT sparkle), she finds out that her Sparkles is really
called Alexander Wolfe and is not a friendly elf but a blood
drinking vampire.
Being the progeny of Edward is a bit of an eye opener, she
is mistreated in an attempt to keep her in line, she can't
help but love him and eventually they get married, she finds
out the night before that Alexander has feelings for her but
she goes ahead with the wedding anyway.
she is then told that she was suppose to be left to fend for
herself when she was turned so she learnt the hard way to
survive but instead she has become soft so she is left in
the wilderness. Meg loses herself in the haunting place and
performs perfectly, her lifestyle is interrupted when she
meets The Prince out painting and kills her first werewolf.
Things are not looking good between them until a party where
Meg finds out that it is their 15th anniversary, before
their marriage falls apart completely The Prince steps in to
sort it out. Life gets back on track but Edward is planning
something behind Meg's back and she is nervous about what it
is. She finds out that he is planning on moving the pair of
them to America, Alexander protests about the pair of them
moving but Meg feels she has to go with her husband.
The story starts in 1940, set in rural farming country in the lower
Highlands of Scotland. If you wish to get an idea of the area visit
Dalwhinnie, this was the area that inspired the 'estate' though no
actual town is the bases. The farm cottage was based on many generic
old farm cottages found around the Scottish Highlands. The forest
mentioned in the story is suppose to be a Scot's Pine forest much like
the Great Forest however I know that the majority of the original
forests have been cleared and what has been replaced is plantation
forestry. Again the story is one of fiction so I have taken the
idealistic Scottish image of the old Great Forest and set it against
the idea of the Highlands with the quaint farm cottage, all
idealistic.
There has been no mention of the end of World War Two as I couldn't
find out enough information about what happened in remote areas of the
Highlands, so I felt it best to leave this subject alone.
I have had an interest in Scottish Fairy tails for many years, this
was where the bases for the Elf and the Family Curse came from,
umpteen books and old family stories went into the research over the
years.
Edinburgh is really a city of many types, Old Town and New Town are
the must see areas if you wish to get the correct imagery for the
story. Prince's Street is an absolute must as well as the Royal Mile,
if you dare venture though the main streets at night to get the
correct feeling. Remember Edinburgh is a city and just like every
other city you have to be careful, real life dangers are far worse
than those written in a fictional book.
When it comes to New York, I have never been. Sadly my bases for New
York is movies, TV series and books. Even though a large portion of
the book is based in New York I have tried to keep it vague, so not to
get into any details where I'll be picked out for being wrong. Please
remember it's a fictional book, any details about New York are merely
there to further the story and not based on the actual city or the
people in it.
