Wolf in the City by Linda Thomas-Sundstrom
Linda, how do your characters meet in Wolf in the City?
They meet on a dark back street in Los Angeles where even cops and gangs fear to tread, and are surprised as heck by seeing another "being" there.
Your characters actually come from different paranormal species. Explain!
The wolf in this city (Jared ) is a sexy werewolf. The female he meets (Kit) is a feisty young vampire. As a most unlikely pairing, they might have to join forces and exchange some body fluids in order to see if bridging the "species" gap is in any way a viable option. Really though . . . who can better understand the problems an "Other" faces than someone who is also "Other"?
Is this a love at first sight love story or more of a slow burn?
Weres and vamps have long been enemies . . . so the relationship that unfolds burns slowly, but fiercely.
Which do you prefer writing—antiheroes or straight up heroes?
My characters, whether wolf or immortal, all have an innate sense of justice and are on a mission to help to right some of the supernatural world's wrongs. So though the main character Weres, vampires, and immortals in my books might be anti-heroes according to human society they try to blend in with, they are ultimately dangerous good guys.
