Searching For Acceptance in Paranormal Worlds

Hi Everyone –

I’m so excited to be visiting the Reading Café today!  My new Moon Series just kicked off this week with book 1, Moonlight, and I often get asked “What is Moonlight about?” so I thought I’d try to tackle that answer here…

You see, while there is a werewolf pack, jaguar shifter assassins, and a company that is highly interested in Lana’s ability to shift into a jaguar, for me, that’s not really what Moonlight is “about”.

The heart and soul of Moonlight is the tagline on the cover. “Embrace your destiny”. Moonlight is about finding out who you really are and finding acceptance within yourself before others can also embrace you.

The book actually started out as a short story, but I could stop wondering what would happen next for Adam and Lana. Six months later, Moonlight was finished and it took me on a journey I never expected when I wrote the opening.

Lana grew up in foster care, abandoned as a baby. Her whole life she’s been haunted by the knowledge of that abandonment, and although she does her best to hide it, the deep seeded insecurity is always lurking there in the shadows.

The hero, Adam, is next in line to be the Alpha of the Pack, but this is a responsibility he never asked for and he doesn’t think he wants it.

Because jaguar assassins have been encroaching on the Pack’s territory, threatening to expose them to the humans, the Pack patrols Reno, willing to kill any trespassing jaguars if necessary. When Adam realizes that Lana is his mate, he finds himself on the verge of losing his family, and Lana teetering on the edge of running away. If she stays, Adam could lose the only thing she’s ever wanted.

The conflict in this book was delicious to write, and although both leads have paranormal abilities, at heart they’re just like all of us.

They want to find a safe haven where they can be accepted for who and what they are…

What are some of your favorite themes in Paranormal Romance?

Thanks again for having me on the blog!

“A fabulous read. Lisa Kessler is an up and coming author to remember!”
Sherrilyn Kenyon #1 NYT Bestselling Author of the Dark-Hunter Series

Rancher Adam Sloan is more than meets the eye. As the heir to his Pack, the sexy werewolf’s biggest challenge is keeping his kin’s true nature under wraps. But a group of jaguar shifters threatens to reveal the pack, blasting into town killing humans in plain sight. And when he smells one at the local diner, his standing orders are to take her out.

Lana Turpin doesn’t realize she’s a moving target. Raised in the foster system, she only knows that she blacks out during the new moon and wakes up without remembering a thing. But now she’s being tracked by some strange organization that wants her back–even though she’s never stepped foot inside their compound. And the stranger across the diner is watching her like an enemy. It should be a simple mission for Adam, but when he touches the frustratingly beautiful Lana, his inner wolf howls…mate. Now, the two must find and stop the people who hunt her…and Adam must keep his own family from killing the only woman he will ever love.

  1. nice to meet you lisa. i enjoyed reading your post. as for themes, i love romance, especially when the two couples are different and yet they eventually fall in love.

  2. I love this dual review concept. Though the same book, you each had different thoughts, and both of you loved the book. I think this is something I will enjoy. Excellent reviews, Julie & Erin.

  3. Thank you LIsa for the great guest post and giving us your ‘take’ on writing the story. There is always something ‘in the background’ premise that the author knows that the reader does not and it is great to get that perspective.

  9. Hi Lisa,

    I loved your words in your post especially about the part where finding your safe haven where you are accepted and loved for what you are. Very deep and touching. Who doesn’t want that acceptance and love? Moonlight sounds like such a good book and I can’t wait to meet Lara and Adam in Moonlight. 🙂

  12. Hey Lisa, welcome to The Reading Cafe. I’m late getting to this post as I was out of town for a 2 days. Loved your post, and your Moon series is definitely my kind of reading material. Looking forward to checking it out
