And that&#8217;s one of the reasons I&#8217;m so fond of her. Despite her small stature, she doesn&#8217;t let anyone push her around. Instead, she finds ways to use her size to her advantage. She&#8217;s found a way to turn a personal tragedy into a lifelong-mission to help others.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, that isn&#8217;t the way I&#8217;d planned her. She was supposed to be a smart aleck, take nothing too seriously spy of dubious loyalties. While I managed to retain some of that in her personality, it isn&#8217;t her main focus.\u00a0 Her loyalty is to herself and her cause, and she&#8217;ll tell you so.<\/p>\n<p>What I love most about her is her creativity. I didn&#8217;t believe her at first when she told me the story of how she killed a wolf using a snow shovel. But it&#8217;s in writing now, and on the internet, so it must be true.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t read Wolves&#8217; Gambit yet, here&#8217;s your chance. It&#8217;s a standalone story, so you don&#8217;t have to read the other books in the Free Wolves adventures first. Here&#8217;s the link to the page on this website that will lead you to everywhere you can buy the book. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pjmaclayne.com\/?page_id=224\">Wolves&#8217; Gambit\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once you get done with your purchase, don&#8217;t forget to check out the other blogs and see what their authors favorite characters are.
