Texas Ranch Wolf Pack Series

Texas Ranch Wolf Pack: Serial or Series

Is The Texas Ranch Wolf Pack a Series or a Serial Story?

A series is a group of books that are related to each other by setting or characters. You can think of television for this idea. For instance, the old television show Andy Griffith is a set of stories based on the lives of different characters, or things that happened to them. You can watch one episode without knowing anything about Mayberry or the sheriff's family to understand what's going on.

A series is a group of books that follow a group of characters through sequential events. In a podcast I recently listened to, Anne-Marie Meyer identified The Lord of the Rings as a serial story. The story starts in The Fellowship of the Ring, continues in The Two Towers, and concludes in The Return of the Ring. The last two books could be read without reading The Fellowship of the Ring first, but they wouldn't make much sense. By the way, these books are free to read if you have a Kindle Unlimited membership. And you can read them on your computer, tablet, or even your telephone! All the Texas Ranch Wolf Pack books are enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, too!

After thinking about this for a very few minutes, the answer was obvious to me. The Texas Ranch Wolf Pack series is a serial story. What this means is that, though some of the books can be read stand-alone, the story makes more sense if you read in order from book one forward.

I didn't plan this. Actually, truth be told, I didn't plan the series at all. Book one tackled me and insisted it be written. The rest were written because the story wasn't complete. Wolf's Man is not the first book I've written, but it is the first published under my pen name, Lynn Nodima.

Reading Order for the Serial Series

For the best reading experience, the books should be read in this order:

1. Wolf's Man
2. Wolf's Claim
3. Wolf's Mission
4. Wolf's Huntsman
5. Wolf's Trust
6. Wolf's Reign
7. Wolf's Queen
8. Wolf's Enemy
9. Wolf's Rage
10. Wolf's Quest
11. Wolf's Guard -- Coming Soon!
12. Last in the series is TBD

Wolf's Destiny is a box set that includes the first six books in the set. At present, I plan to put out another box set containing the last six books in the set soon after book 12 is published.

Wolf's Man is the genesis story for the series. It tells how Nate meets Janelle and becomes embroiled in pack business. Each book that follows provides more information about Nate and Janelle while highlighting the lives of some of the pack.

Is it a Romance?

Yes and no. Is romance the major force in the stories? Not always. The struggle to build a kingdom for the were and keep them safe is the main story. But there is a strong romance in each book, and each book ends with a HEA (happy ever after) or HFN (happy for now).

The books are all written for story, much like the books of Andre Norton, Marrion Zimmer-Bradley, Anne McCaffrey, or Elizabeth Moon (some of my favorite authors). When the story includes romance, there is romance in the book. In my books, there is no profanity or sex on the page, so they are safe reads for teens and pre-teens, too. My goal is to write books I can comfortably hand to my grandkids if they want to read them.

What do Readers Say?

These are just a few of the many reviews my books have received. Most of these came from Wolf's Destiny, but since the box set is made up of the first six books, the reviews apply to those, as well.

"I am a big fan of this genre of the paranormal. Lynn is an excellent example of a creative writer who is adding depth to the legends. Like "Twilight" it adds new aspects and is a must-read for fans. Loved it!" ~Kindle Customer

Wolf's Rage Cover Reveal

Wolf's Rage: Book 7.5 in the Texas Ranch Wolf Pack Series Cover Reveal

After Wolf's Enemy, I fully intended to write Wolf's Quest, which is Snarl's search for his kidnapped mate, Freya. However, my characters did not cooperate.

Flora Garrett and Dottie Paddock decided that their wedding was more important than a footnote. It was being planned at the end of Wolf's Queen. Wolf's Enemy opened the morning after the wedding. Flora and Dottie staged a sit-in on my keyboard.

Until I wrote their wedding story, they refused to leave me alone to work on Snarl's search for his missing mate.

So, Wolf's Rage, Book 7.5, came about. The happenings in this book occur in the two weeks between the end of book 7 (Wolf's Queen) and the beginning of book 8 (Wolf's Enemy). The women are happily in the act of preparing for the wedding, purchasing gowns, and planning decorations when they come across a woman (Violet) being forced into an SUV by two men. When they rescue her, the fun begins.

Now, not only is there a wedding to prepare for, there is Violet's family to save from a deranged kidnapper.

I have just over 25,000 words written, and write more every day, so the book should be done soon. 

At least that's my hope. I really, really want to get back to Snarl's search. And he's a bit impatient, too.

Wolfs Destiny Available for Pre-Order

Wolf's Destiny Available for Pre-Order

Wolf's Destiny, the box set of my six-books in the Texas Ranch Wolf Pack Series, is available for pre-order.

Orders will be fulfilled on February 27.

Now that all six books are complete and published, I have created the box set for those who want to get the entire story at once.

The set is $7.89, a saving of $10.05 for readers purchasing the entire set as opposed to purchasing each book individually at $2.99 each.

Publishing this box set was a learning experience. Collecting the different files into one, then creating the cover and the box set image took a while. I did a complete re-edit of the books before combining them into one file.

Wolf's Destiny Blurb

Janelle Hynson is running for her life. 

All Janelle wants is to graduate from college, get back to her pack, and find her mate, but werepanthers are hunting her. 

She escapes to San Antonio, where the werepanthers find her. Out of options, she jumps into vacationing SAPD Detective Nate Rollins’ car. 

Little does he know his old life is over.

Now, he must protect them both from creatures he never knew existed.

But things are not as they seem.

Nate has a secret even he doesn’t know. A secret that throws them both into more danger.

His old life is gone.

Can he survive his new one?

Cover Reveal: Wolf's Regin

Cover Reveal: Wolf's Reign (Texas Ranch Wolf Pack Series)

After a lot of thought, I decided the cover I had previously selected for Wolf's Reign, the last book in the Texas Ranch Wolf Pack series, was not what I wanted. You can see the first version in the header (until I have time to change it out, anyway!)

I spent some time to reworking it, and came up with this design.

While I like the first version of the cover, the story is about Nate coming into his birthright. It didn't seem right for the cover to also feature his brother, Eli.

Chapter 1 is complete and I have started chapter 2.

As usual, life happened, and I had to put writing on hold for a while to take care of family, but I'm back and working hard today.
