KDR ~ Welcome Shiloh Beck, star of Sloane Wolf, a paranormal romance story. First let me say I’ve read your story and think Margay did an excellent creative job with it. I’m sure you feel the same about it…hopefully she got all the details right. Please tell us a bit about your abilities.
I wish I could. Sometimes, I don’t understand them myself. All I know for sure is I can sense what others are feeling. Whatever they feel, I feel, to. Sometimes, I can even see the images in their minds – if I let myself. The Institute was trying to teach me how to turn that outward – to reverse the process, so to speak, and inflict certain feelings upon other people – but I don’t like talking about that.
KDR ~ Can you explain what The Institute is?
I’m not sure what, exactly, The Institute is. To me, it’s the place where I grew up, the place that kept me from my family. It’s the place where others like me are brought to cultivate our “gifts,” so we can learn how to live in the outside world with people who aren’t gifted. Funny thing is, none of us are allowed out into the outside world, so we never truly learn to adapt.
KDR ~ Tell us about Micah Stone. He seems a bit egotistical…or should I say, somewhat bossy.
You can say whatever you like because you’re right – on both points. Micah is somewhat bossy, but I guess he has good reason to be with a family like his. Someone has to keep his siblings in check and since he’s the oldest…let’s just say he takes that whole “leader of the pack” thing a bit too literal sometimes.
As for egotistical, yes, I suppose he is, but have you seen him? I mean, really, the guy has good reason – but don’t tell him I said that. He’s hard enough to deal with as it is!
KDR ~ Can you give us a brief description of Sloane’s family?
I can try! Should I start from the top? Damon and Dara are just the most wonderful people you’d ever want to meet. Kind, caring, and very close to their children – all of their children.
Aunt Reba…I don’t really know a lot about her, but she’s kind of intimidating. I wouldn’t want to cross her.
You already know about Micah.
So on to Cam. He’s a bit of a hothead, but when it comes right down to it, you couldn’t ask for a better person to have your back.
Raven is the best – everything you’d want in your best girl friend. I can’t think of adequate enough words to describe her. Loyal, intense, beautiful? Yeah, those all fit, but she’s so much more. Grayson is the quiet one so when he speaks, you really listen. He’s wise beyond his years and just as fierce and loyal as his brothers. Another good one to have at your back in a crisis.
And then there’s Ava, my little darling. Yeah, she can be a pain and is so eager to grow up and be a part of things, she often gets herself into a whole lot of trouble, but she really is a good kid. I think that covers them all.
KDR ~ So what was it like meeting Micah for the first time?
Hmm, it was…interesting. I mean, he’s so good looking, you kind of feel like he can’t possibly be real. So when we first met, I have a feeling I wasn’t very coherent! And he noticed, which made it more embarrassing. I think I stared a lot, too. Ugh. But then he turned on the arrogant attitude, so it kind of broke the spell a little.
KDR ~ What attracted you to the Massachusetts area?
It’s home. I’ve always lived in the state and, really, with the changing seasons and all, why would I want to live anywhere else?
KDR ~ I loved the ending of this book, but there’s more to your story, Shiloh. Would you give us a little heads up on what we can expect next?
You’d like that, wouldn’t you? I’ve heard how eager you are to know more! Let’s just say that, ever since I ended up in the hospital after the confrontation with Jon, I’ve been having a lot of strange dreams. But the thing is…they’re not my dreams. They’re someone else’s.
KDR ~ Oh my, talk about leaving someone hanging…LOL.
So tell us Shiloh, how is it to work with Margay? Did she do a good job of telling your story as it happened OR was she attempting to embellish it all?
Sometimes it’s scary how close she gets to the truth of things. I’ve tried my best to keep it to myself – sometimes knowledge is dangerous, you know – but she has a way of pulling it out of you. She’s relentless. She won’t stop until she gets to the bottom of things and that kind of makes me worry where this might all lead.
I know the Institute isn’t done with me – the Enforcer is still alive, after all, so I know he’ll be back – and I don’t think I’ve seen the end of the black wolf, either. He’s connected to me in some mysterious, familiar way, and I know Margay won’t stop until she knows everything. I just hope she knows what she’s in for. It’s not wise to tangle with the Institute. And embellish? Oh, no. I think she downplayed it.
KDR ~ Where can we find Margay Leah Justice ~ we know where ever she is, you’ll be lurking nearby. Please give us Margay’s links & buy pages.

Sloane Wolf
By Margay Leah Justice
Blurb:
For more than a hundred and fifty years, the gray wolf has failed to roam the hills of Massachusetts, leading to the belief that they are extinct. But with a spattering of sightings across the Berkshires, the legend of the gray wolf comes to fruition. The product of that legend, Micah Sloane will go to great lengths to protect his kind from the threat of outsiders, who seek to exploit the legend for their own interests. One thing he didn’t count on, however, was finding his soul mate in the company of such men.
From the first time she predicted a stranger’s imminent death when she was little more than a child, Shiloh Beck knew she was different. Wishing to cultivate her gift, her parents made the fateful decision to enroll her in a private school for paranormally gifted children. Unbeknownst to them, the school was just a front for a research facility simply called the Institute, whose secret board members weaned gifted children from their families to exploit their gifts. Shiloh has spent the better part of her life trying to escape the Institute and reunite with the family she was told had abandoned her.
From their first meeting, Micah and Shiloh share a connection that goes beyond the normal to bond them in a way that love alone cannot. But before they can build a life together, they must deal with the fall-out when the legend of the wolves collides with the men behind the Institute.

Hello Shiloh - We at the Realm are thrilled when a story star comes to visit...me, personally, love the paranormal romance stars...I'm so taken by the genre.
I know your favorite beverage is coffee, so I'll be serving some up directly. Do you eat scones?
I'm so interested in your abilities...tell me, did you ever feel afraid as a child with your abilities?
Oh, what a picture! What a beautiful wolf! I'm in love already, just from the opening. My, that buy list just keeps growing and growing....
Hi Gail - know what you mean about the to-be-read list...I've been called the kindle book whore...and I'm thinkin' it's true LOL
Thanks for stopping by and visiting with Shiloh.
Hi, Kay Dee! Don't tell Margay, but I've hacked her computer so I could be here today - see, I learned all kinds of interesting things at the Institute!
Scones? Yummy. Sometimes they had them at the Institute, but the best ones I ever had were the ones my Mom made when I was little.
As for my abilities, yeah, they were pretty scary. Especially when you're four years old and you can tell the person next to you is so sick, they're going to die soon. And then try telling that to an adult when you don't even understand it yourself. Very scary.
Shiloh
Hi, Gail! If you think the picture of the wolf's beautiful, you should see it in person. Just saying.
Shiloh

Happy Holidays!
Thank you, Criss, I'm sure Margay will be happy to hear that! I'll let her know - when I let her have her computer back!
Shiloh
Hey Shiloh! Hi Criss *waves*
I can't imagine what you went through as a child growing up with psychic abilities and not understanding any of it.
So, now you've got a better grasp on them, right? Have you ever been able to manipulate thought in another? Just wondering...
Funny you should ask, Kay Dee. That's one of the things the Institute was training me to do - to influence others. That's why I had to get out of there.
Shiloh
Good afternoon, Shiloh. You're looking as lovely as always. That is a dazzling cover! Give Margay my best.
Joelle

Very creative, beautifully written excerpt. You are indeed a star in our Realm, and belong here.
