Kaden Shay
​
Kaden Shay is a 30-something crazy-cat-lady in-the-making who currently resides in Arizona with her partner and miniature zoo, which does currently include 4 cats. When she isn’t writing or playing mom to several fur-kids she’s singing, playing guitar, or playing online video games.
​
Kaden grew up in a very musical household and was singing with her family early on in life. Having an English teacher for a dad gave her a love of the written word and encouraged her to begin her own path toward writing. She spent middle school and early high school penning poems, songs, and short stories before beginning her first book at age 16 (a project she still hasn’t completed)!
​
Her furry family, currently consisting of two dogs, four cats, and several rodents, is always available to help her procrastinate in finishing projects. Helping that along are her favorite activities like online RPGs and karaoke.
Her Calling
​
In a world on the verge of being told that everything they once thought was merely myth is real, can one teenage girl cope with life changes she never saw coming?
Seventeen year old Kyndle Callahan began her year as a typical high school senior. Well, as typical as a girl can be while living life as a werewolf. She wasn't bitten or scratched as most people believe all werewolves are made, no, she was born into the pack that's always been her extended family. She's never seen the people she grew up with as the monsters of myth and legend but everything in her life is thrown into a tailspin when her father springs some shocking news on her. Suddenly, reality as a werewolf is much scarier than the stories humans tell. Stunned by the prospect of spending her life bonded to someone she can’t even stand sharing the same space with and devastated at the thought of losing the only love she’s ever known, can Kyndle settle into who and what she is in time to set things right? Can the girl that grew up knowing only pack law stand up, embrace her true calling, and become the woman she was meant to be despite going against everything her family believes?
With the help of her best friend Abbey, Kyndle must navigate a confusing world of wolf culture, teenage drama, and coming out in a group that believes her lifestyle is unnatural. Follow her journey through pain, heartache, several states, and the fight to be with the girl she loves and take her place in the world.
Her Right
​
Kyndle met Frost when she was less than 15 years old, but she knew, even at that young age, that they were destined to be together forever. They make a formidable team—at home and at work.
​
Kyndle is one of a very small number of females in the US leading their own werewolf pack. None of those other female leaders are “mated” with other females, but despite her success as a leader, the pack council members want Kyndle out! She has three strikes against her: she is young, she is female, and she is gay!
​
Two individual males in the past few months have challenged Kyndle’s position as Alpha of her pack, and both paid dearly…with their lives. One was Frost’s brother, the other Kyndle’s very own father.
​
And now Celeste, who has carried a torch for Kyndle since their childhood, has returned hoping to tear the two mates apart and claim Kyndle as her own.
Will Kyndle and Frost be able to stave off the threats to their love and partnership?
And what about the threats at work? Not only could Kyndle’s leadership be at stake, but her life as well!
