Right now I\u2019m with a pack in Baltimore, but their alpha respects my ways. I take assignments from him, but I live alone and fight alone &#8212; until the night I\u2019m attacked by a swarm of bat demons and a hot little snake dancer jumps in to back me up. For me, it\u2019s lust at first sight, but it\u2019s more than that. I think this adorable little tough guy is my mate, even though he\u2019s not a wolf.<\/p>\n<p>Erik: I\u2019m called Snake Charmer. Dancer. Contortionist. Spirit twin to an alien serpent who has always been my protector. My life has been a series of horrors with some beautiful experiences tossed in. I\u2019ve learned to be independent, especially after my best friend and I were brutalized in an attack that left her dead. Now I\u2019m out for revenge, and it\u2019s brought me to Maryland, directly into the path of a gorgeous werewolf who makes me feel things I never dreamed of. It can\u2019t last, though, and nothing, not even desire this deep, will come between me and my vendetta.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Warning<\/strong>: While set in a futuristic paranormal reality, Snake Charmer includes references to previous child abuse, rape, and murder that may be triggers to some readers.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.changelingpress.com\/snake-charmer-confessions-1-b-3032\">Changeling Press<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read snippets from other authors in the Weekend Writing Warriors Blog hop <a href=\"http:\/\/wewriwa.blogspot.com\/\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello and welcome to the WeWriWa blog hop, in which writers share 8-10 sentences from one of their stories.
