What if
courage was your only option?
When Kallie lands a college interview with the city’s new hot-shot police
officer she has no idea everything in her life is about to change. The
detective is young, handsome and seems to have an unnatural ability to stop the
increasing local crime rate.
When a raging blood feud between vampires spills into her home, Kallie gets
caught in the middle.

May grew up in the fruit belt of Ontario - St.Catharines. Crazy-happy
childhood, she always has had a vivid imagination and loads of energy.
The
youngest of six -- four older brothers, and a sister -- taught her
at a young age to be competitive in all aspects of life.
At
sixteen, she began competing in athletics (track and field) and before she
turned seventeen, she was representing Canada in high jump. She continued
to compete, breaking Canada's JR High Jump record (1.92m - 6' 3 1/2" for
those metric-ly challenged). She attented University of Toronto, and
Kansas State University - winning CIAU's and becoming All-American 6x - NCAA
Indoors Runner Up + more.
But
you're not interested in her athletic career - unless of course you're curious
to know she stands 1.70m (5'7") and has jumped 20cm over her head on more
than one occassion. She's represented Canada at the World Championships, World
Jrs., won Francophone Games, and loved every minute of every competition.
From the grueling workouts, the crazy weights she lifted on her back, the days
she thought her lungs were going to spit out of her mouth for lack of oxygen,
the travelling around the world and the opportunity to read - her favourite
past time.
Life
continued with her husband (a distance runner from Liverpool, UK, who she met
at KSU) and then their first, then second and finally third child. Their
house became full of more imagination and stories.
Wanita
and her husband run an online business, dealing in antiques and collectables -
particularly jewelry and porcelain (one of the business' website: www.wadeincanada.com ).
After
her father passed away in 2009, from a six-year battle with cancer (which she
still believes he won the fight against), she began to write again. A
passion she'd loved for years, but realized life was too short to keep putting
it off.
Her
first book, Rae of Hope - from the Chronicles of Kerrigan - will be available
October 2011 by kNight Romance Publishing.
She is
currently represented by Dawn Dowdle of Blue Ridge Literary Agency. Wanita is a
writer of Young Adult, Fantasy Fiction and where ever else her little muses
take her.
