Author Douglas R. Brown has quite a number of wonderful titles. He's a family man with a beautiful wife, a son, and two dogs; He's a firefighter and paramedic; and, of course, he's a writer. In the beginning, writing was a way for him to cope with the stresses of his firefighter/paramedic lifestyle. Now the fantasy stories he writes - from 'The Light of Epertase' series to 'Tamed' - is a way for him to add something to the genre he's loved for years.
Tamed, his most recent book, explores the idea of having werewolves as pets. In fact, on February 29th, I'll review Tamed. Here's the description from Amazon:
Werewolves are real. And they make excellent pets. Owning one of the legendary creatures is the latest fad. The WereHouse insists their werepets are loyal, docile, and 100% safe, but what happens when these gentle giants turn on their masters? While on a routine EMS call, paramedic Christine Alt is attacked by a rogue werepet. She escapes with her life, but the encounter leaves her with more than just scars. As her body begins to change, she discovers the WereHouse is hiding a terrible secret, and they will stop at nothing to keep her from exposing them.
Apart from the fact that I can't wait to read Tamed, I bet you're wondering why I'm spotlighting Douglas. Well, earlier today, he was interviewed on NBC4! Personally, as a writer who has dreamed about what it would be like to talk about my book on TV, I'm very excited for him. For this to be his first time on TV, I think he did a wonderful job (the interview officially starts at 1:10).

It's refreshing to see more books about werewolves they are interesting I think. Wow I'm sure the interview was a great thing and a sign of acknowledgement.

The writing of werewolves has been a steady course in books, but the concept of having a werewolf as a pet, now that is a new twist on an old story. It will be interesting to see just how that layout works as the old twist has it that one can be bitten and turned into one as well.Just how much of a change on the old werewolves stories will be left for reading the book, looking forward to finding out.

Heidi, it was a great experience. I had a lot of fun. Thanks for stopping by Tiffany's site. It is nice to meet you.
Mcuch, you are correct that biting will turn a person into a werewolf. Lucky for the WereHouse that the werepets are perfectly docile and are perfect pets.
Well... At least that is the hope.
Thanks for checking out my book. I hope you enjoy it. Tiffany will be reviewing it next month and I'm excited to hear her thoughts.
I'm always game for a werewolf book :) Sign me up!

I am always looking for new authors to follow and this sounds like a fun twist on a somewhat new topic to me.
I love hearing about authors' other jobs. James Dashner was an accountant before being a full-time writer (and he hated it). I bet Douglas' experience with being a firefighter and paramedic is a great source for writing, even though it is stressful and probably so difficult sometimes considering what he may have to deal with as part of the job(s). Writing is very therapeutic though. it's good to have an outlet. And that he is successful with it too. Added bonus!
