It's fitting that as we get closer to Halloween, the more exciting the books. Eva Gordon is on the Into The Woods Blog Tour and today she visits here.
Welcome, Eva, tell us about yourself:
Lycan Gladiator is book 1 in my paranormal wolfish romance historical series, The Wolf Maiden Saga. Book 2, Wolf Knight in King Arthur’s Court is with my editor.
I also teach online workshops on wolf lore ancient falconry and animal lore for Romance Writers of America and other writer groups. If you are interested in my workshops, please contact me.
What is your work schedule like when you're writing?
I get up early for coffee and
breakfast. Check and answer e-mails. Then I go to hot yoga. From 10:30 to 4:30
(with a 15 minute break for hike/dog walk) I write and or edit. Goal: 2000
words/day.
What do you like to do when you're not writing?
Bird watch, run errands,
volunteer at the raptor center, yoga, and hike with my dog.
What is the best part of writing for you?
Escaping into a world that is
dark, dangerous, steamy and adventurous with good dose of romance.
What do you enjoy most about writing?
I love creating the first draft
but I equally enjoy editing and polishing.
What do you enjoy most about life?
I like doing just about everything
my characters do. Family, going on adventurous travel, appreciating the
outdoors and the environment, working with animals and romance of course.
What are some jobs you've done that would end up in a book?
I’ve done science research,
taught high school biology and anatomy/physiology and volunteered at a wolf
sanctuary. So yes, those jobs do end up or will end up in a book.
If I was a first time reader of your books, which one would you
recommend I start with and why?
Any will work if you like werewolves.
If you prefer the zombie apocalypse genre, start with Apocalyptic Moon, Book 1
in the After the Bane series. If you like epic paranormal/fantasy/historical
romance start with Lycan Gladiator, Book 1 in the Wolf Maiden Saga. And if you
like steampunk stay tuned for Hand of Miriam, release date January 10, 2014.
Tell us about your latest book.
Lycan Gladiator is set against the backdrop of Ancient Rome.
It takes place during the 79 AD reign of Roman Emperor Domitian. It is a time
of bloody gladiatorial games and treacherous schemes. It involves the secret
society of lycans that live amongst humans. I just love crossing over the
genres of epic fantasy, paranormal historical romance and alternative history.

Book tagline:
A lycan gladiator in Rome's brutal arena vows to
claim his forbidden mate … but her secrets may seal their doom.
Book Blurb:
During a time of bloody gladiator games and treacherous
schemes, a secret society of lycans live amongst the Romans.
When Ulric, a lycan gladiator, meets a mysterious human
woman with green eyes, he’s drawn to her fiery beauty, enraptured by her
alluring aroma. Unfortunately, Ulric and the beauty are slaves. To make matters
worse, he can mate only with someone marked with the sign of the wolf.
Cassia’s hidden wolf mark burns in the presence of the
handsome gladiator. While her heart yearns to be near Ulric, logic warns her
against it—having a slave as a mate is against the lycan society’s plans for
her.
In spite of the lycan society’s rules and the emperor’s
brutal plots, their love grows … but their passion just may cost them their
lives.

Book Blog Dii’s 5 Star Review
Werewolves and gladiators oh my!
Lycan Gladiator is a wonderful mix of history and the paranormal.
This is a unique tale filled with intrigue, action, danger, and a forbidden
romance. I couldn't put it down! The story was well thought out and beautifully
executed. It was plain to see there was a lot of thought put into this world of
gladiator werewolves.
