The Other Shoe

It's been two years since the run-in with a faction of evil that was trying to kidnap a friend of the werewolves, Cady and Sam. Since then, things have been pretty quiet in their little para community in the town of Matthews, N.C., where they live with their now twelve-year-old daughter, Annamae. There has been no more unwanted activity from the dark side.Halloween is rolling around again, and while no one in their neighborhood ever decorates for the holiday and never take their kids out for trick-or-treating, the kids from regular neighborhoods always seem to know to come ringing their doorbells for great sweet loot. Knowing this year would be the same, they've stocked up on candy and prepared for the little treat-seekers to show up.Would everything stay as quiet and uneventful as they think? P.B. Cannon was born and raised in Charlotte, NC, and though she has visited other cities and states, she has a preference for Charlotte and expects to live there for the rest of her life.She is a teller of tales who enjoys concocting yarns of science fiction, fantasy, paranormal, and other stuff. She relishes reading, drawing and painting, walking, working crossword puzzles, and she likes to dance.She is a retired electronics technician and admits to having worked at a variety of other jobs during her life, including being a dishwasher, a busgirl, a housemaid, a motel/hotel maid, working in a fast-food joint, a telephone operator, and a store clerk. There have been other, even-less-glamorous jobs.She also daydreams a lot. Cady and Sam are werewolves that don't like excitement. So, they have good reason to love their lifestyle in the small town of Matthews, N.C. They've got a cute kid, good jobs, great neighbors, and their home beats the wheels off their last address. Unfortunately, there are forces in the universe that seem determined to throw a wrench in their attempts at keeping a low profile.
