Most of Livy’s kind just kept their venom intake to the rattler family, but her father had actually tried the more odious poison-spiked beers and tequila, like Black Mamba or the Puff Adder.Īnd, sadly, her father hadn’t been right since the first time he drank that swill, going from a verbose, sometimes annoying thief to a downright bastard of a human being. Poisons that would kill most humans unless they were treated immediately with antivenin-and sometimes not even then-but for HBs they merely caused a ridiculous high and intense hunger. Her father drank liquor spiked with different snake poisons. Not just a drinker, but a honey badger drinker. He was a thief, a liar, a brawler, an instigator, and a drinker. Damon Kowalski was not exactly known for his quiet, even-tempered ways.
Although why they all seemed so surprised by her father’s death, Livy didn’t know. Not the death of her father, but dealing with her family. She didn’t know if she could have faced this nightmare without him. Her cousin Jake leaned in and whispered, “Like watching a somber and ancient grieving ceremony with the Windsor family, isn’t it?” And it was her father’s sister and Livy’s mother busy fighting on top of it. Livy Kowalski blew out a breath when the battling females landed hard on top of the casket. Until then, let’s all just enjoy the pretty kitty on my cover. It’s simply the limitations of a non-shifter society, unable to conceive of the wonder that is a grizzly-Siberian tiger male with a honey fetish and introvert tendencies.īut, hopefully, in time, when the world comes to truly understand the wonders of the hybrid nation, this situation will be a thing of the past. So, yes, I’m fully aware the cover has a white tiger on it, and no, it’s not a mistake. But there’s only so much an artist can do. I know some grizzlies will take this as an affront, and I’m the first to say that the Ursidae is just as sexy as the feline.
Now it’s true that our hero, Vic Barinov, is a grizzly-tiger hybrid, but creating a cover that can successfully get that across. And with that in mind, I’m sure that all my loyal readers and hybrid friends will forgive the liberties taken with Bite Me. Especially the team that creates all my lovely covers. That being said, there’s only so much pressure I can put on a design team. And, until the end of time, I will stand tall with my mutt. It’s just wrong to hate those differently endowed. I’m the first to say it’s unfair to have prejudice against those with tusk-like fangs or snaggle-claws or excessively long legs combined with tiny paws.
