It is about a woman who falls in love with two, yes I said two, alphas. One of the twists, these alphas are totally brothers. Oscar and Rift are just sexiness in their own rights. Add some rogues and we have a sexy romance with some problems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does your character enjoy being a werewolf? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yep. They are strong alphas, thy are powerful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is your werewolf character the protagonist or antagonist of your story? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both actually.

She had always day dreamed about two men giving her all this attention and now they were coming true.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet undressed,\u201d Oscar whispered into her ear. She unbuttoned her jeans and pulled them down along with her underwear. Pulling off her shirt then Rift pulled her back to him as he wrapped his hands around her neck.<\/p>\n<p>My page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/McKaylaSchutt\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/McKaylaSchutt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twitter: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2FMcKaylaSchutt&amp;h=tAQHKz-iX&amp;enc=AZOCMplt4bp8e_Q6A47CfR_aEl3fQIH7JQC7DAJEW-hSFR2HOstU_BBhQ2CozY5a2bkafKN64ATNvo76INzmYOqHwaS1LDwrzIYWClAOpGK5oefmSJIZroOqk8Fo-x4ltBPPnC0xjv7rWj_1ZcECR8wC2oFRDV884IWOMbJ7LGyO9Q&amp;s=1\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/McKaylaSchutt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Webpage: <a href=\"http:\/\/mckaylaschutt.wix.com\/mschutt\">http:\/\/mckaylaschutt.wix.com\/mschutt<\/a><br \/>\nImprinted: Book One: <a href=\"http:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fdp%2FB00T4Y60JS&amp;h=8AQGAPnWm&amp;enc=AZOIXyFYfQRMigH-gf3Zo8RNhcnX76VJcoLsAQeaCUKMxaAssVdfsNEHnBX43TkZf390HtmL7bgfmRNAzT8CeJKZFZmMye9jD_87vNLt5OS2ReDK4omMTzL9MweYGuuUcB1WZ0pAfJtdrEsA8-OpJeaWTfFZ5AP50DnWtpqz5ER31g&amp;s=1\">www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00T4Y60JS<\/a><br \/>\nImprinted: Book Two: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00WFG2CWG\">www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00WFG2CWG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Imprinted: Book Three: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0125ZRX6Q\">www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0125ZRX6Q<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Imprinted: Hard Copy: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.createspace.com\/5538999\">www.createspace.com\/5538999<\/a><br \/>\nShifting Tactics Part One: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B01CPE3SFW\">http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B01CPE3SFW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Blog: <a href=\"https:\/\/mckaylaschutt.wordpress.com\/\">https:\/\/mckaylaschutt.wordpress.com\/<\/a><br \/>\nAmazon page: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/McKayla-Schutt\/e\/B00VKPQ3AA\/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1\">http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/McKayla-Schutt\/e\/B00VKPQ3AA\/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Goodreads Page: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/9872584.McKayla_Schutt?from_search=true&amp;search_version=ab_testing\">https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/author\/show\/9872584.McKayla_Schutt?from_search=true&amp;search_version=ab_testing<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sign up for my Newsletter: <a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/bylKHP\">http:\/\/eepurl.com\/bylKHP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Street Team: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1513510068948351\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1513510068948351\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1139\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/kate-hill.com\/compellingbeastsblog\/2016\/04\/22\/interview-with-mckayla-schutt\/shifting-tactics-blurb-final\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kate-hill.com\/compellingbeastsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Shifting-Tactics-Blurb-final.jpg?fit=750%2C450&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"750,450\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Shifting Tactics Blurb-final\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kate-hill.com\/compellingbeastsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Shifting-Tactics-Blurb-final.jpg?fit=640%2C384&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1139\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kate-hill.com\/compellingbeastsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Shifting-Tactics-Blurb-final-300x180.jpg?resize=300%2C180\" alt=\"Shifting Tactics Blurb-final\" width=\"300\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kate-hill.com\/compellingbeastsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Shifting-Tactics-Blurb-final.jpg?resize=300%2C180&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kate-hill.com\/compellingbeastsblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Shifting-Tactics-Blurb-final.jpg?w=750&amp;ssl=1 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-share-button\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" data-via=\"compbeastsblog\">Tweet<\/a><br \/>\n<script>\/\/ <![CDATA[\n!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=\/^http:\/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+':\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tell us a bit about yourself.
