Interview with the Author Abby Greenwood Q: why do you write free shape novels when others are charging for theirs? A: I am a self publishing author so I don't have the marketing power of other authors who write shape novels and also have big publishing companies to promote their books. I give my shape shifter novels away for free so readers can evaluate my stories and then decide if they want to invest in my other shapeshifter romance novels. Q: There are a lot of alpha werewolf romance stories available; do you include any in your book? A: The main character is a billionaire diamond mine owner who is the future king and high lord of the falcon clan. In this book he meets his girl but she is kidnapped by a rogue alpha werewolf so yes there are alpha werewolves in this book but you will have to read it to find out what happens. Q: This is your first book in the paranormal shape shifter genre, will you be releasing shifter romance box sets or bundle? A: I already have book two published (Heart Of The Hunter) and I am half way through the third book (Heart of the Heiress) so once the third book is finished I will be releasing my shifter romance box sets/bundle. Q: So, why should readers give your free shapeshifter romantic short story books a try? A: When I was a child living in England I used to watch the old British Hammer House Of Horror movies about werewolf’s and vampires, they frightened the life out of me. As I got older I started to read more of these shape shifter romance books, I liked them so much I put pen to paper and wrote my very first with a little mystery and suspense thrown in. If you like paranormal fiction with a little romance thrown in you will love my free shapeshifter novels.

Interview with the Author
Q: What makes Found special?
A: I believe Found pulls all of the elements I love in an urban fantasy book and adds a little twist. Found has action, a little romance and cool beings with awesome powers who are hidden in plain sight. I personally love historical fiction with origins in magical realism, so I created characters you may have heard of in the history books and brought them to life with new fantastic powers. I also love a good mystery. I have woven little mysteries along with some major twists into the series. I hope that you find yourself enthralled in the story and chasing the clues.
Q: Why should I give Found a try?
A: If you have enjoyed the world building of Kevin Hearne in the Iron Druid Series, the character development in the Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlaine Harris and the magical twists in The Magicians Series by Lev Grossman with just a touch of the paranormal romance of Stephanie Meyer in the Twilight Series, give Found a shot!
Q: When can I expect the next book?
A: You're in luck, book two- Forsaken is available in December 2018. The rest of the series will follow in 2019, including some short stories and novellas featuring spin off storylines from the characters you love.
