Paranormal, Fantasy romance

Who knew walking in the woods would lead to the adventure of his life? Not Hans. Being held captive by robbers isn't his idea of fun, but there's a silver lining in the form of a hunky wolf shifter. Hans is coming into his own and realizing the depths of his brawn, but things aren't what they seem. Can Hans sort out his feelings for the wolf and defeat the forces working to keep them from their happily ever after before time runs out?

Now for an excerpt:

Although he’d wanted to escape with his mother in tow, knowing Hans had Pietro in his corner helped. He’d find his mother and his father. Then he’d get the answers he deserved. What kind of magic creature was he? What kind of magic did he have? And why didn’t anyone want to tell him? Screw it. If the magic knew, then he’d play along.

“Let’s get weapons and get the hell out of here. I want to see the sunshine without black bars in the way.” Hans counted the coins. “These are hundred-dollar pieces. At least fifteen of them. We can live for a month on these.” If not longer.

“Probably part of the plan.” Pietro held up a ring of keys. “And these are our ticket to freedom. I stole them from the Captain when he was passed out with his latest bedmate. Want one last look before we blow this house of horrors?”

“Not in the least.” Hans grabbed an unused satchel from the table and filled it with a couple of the guns as well as a handful of sheathed knives. His favorite book came to mind. He couldn’t leave without the tattered manuscript. He grabbed the volume from the shelf above the mantel.

“I don’t doubt the magic has this all planned out for us, but do you know where we’re supposed to go?” Pietro hesitated in the doorway. “Do you have a plan?”

“We’ll know when we get there.” Hans placed his hand on Pietro’s forearm. “Thanks for being my partner in crime, so to speak.”

“Me? You kicked his ass. I just watched. You’re a regular savage. A savage protector, and I want you on my side.” The smile returned to his lips. “But I’ll be just about whatever you want me to be. Partner, lover… you name it.”

“Cool.”

Tasty Tuesday ~ Fantastic Football Cookies for Super Bowl Munching!

I thought I'd jump in and post a Tasty Tuesday Recipe. I haven't done so in a while and when I got this recipe, I had to tweak it a little bit. Tweaking is fun and part of what Changeling is all about.

Fantastic Football Cookies

You can make these a myriad of ways, but mine are with chocolate chips because well, I like chocolate.

2 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 cups chocolate chips, 2 Hershey's chocolate bars, chopped or M&M'S
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl stir together flour, salt, and baking soda. In another large bowl stir together butter, both sugars, eggs, vanilla and cocoa. Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture and mix until combined. Stir chocolate chips and walnuts, if using, and stir to distribute evenly.

Roll out the dough onto a sheet of wax paper or parchment and cut out using football shaped cookie cutter. Bake about 10 minutes. Cool on a baking rack.

When totally cool, use decorator icing in white or your favorite colors to decorate the cookies. Licorice works well for lacing, too. Make them yourself or have them serve as an activity during the game. Whatever you do with them, have fun!

Tasty Tuesday - Cookie Monster Cookies

My son called me today and asked for this recipe. He was snowbound with his three toddlers and remembered how  I used to make these when he was a kid. They are easy to adapt to any occasion and you can let the little ones cut out the shapes with cookie cutters. The original came from a church cookbook  published in 1960.

1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 eggs
21/2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 375degrees. Cream  sugar and butter, beat in eggs. Add dry ingredients and vanilla and beat until well mixed. Roll out and cut with cookie cutters.  Bake on greased baking sheet for 10 - 12 minutes.

Enjoy!
