Book Description

October 22, 2009
Without warning, Kara McBride is violently abducted by a secret group of diversely skilled humans. The Liaison have discovered her astounding psychic power to manipulate thought and persuade her to join their covert operation. Kara's abilities are vital to the success of saving a small group of werewolves from self destruction. In the tiny town of Hamlin, Kentucky, a few rogue werewolves have split off from the main pack and committed crimes against humans, bringing unwanted attention to the area, and risking their hidden existence from society. Kara will create mental connections with the wolves in an attempt to calm their aggression. But, in the midst of chaos, a love triangle develops and Kara must make a heart-wrenching choice between a human...or a werewolf. Her decisions could be life-altering for her and others as she delves into the unknown.

More About the Author

Gina Marie Long lives in Highland, Illinois with her husband. Unknown Touch-Werewolf Series-Book One is her first novel and was released on October 22, 2009. She is a licensed cosmetologist and had owned/operated a salon in Marine for 16 years until June of 2010. She took the plunge and sold the shop to pursue a full-time career in writing. Ideas for the book were bounced around with her loyal customers who gave encouraging feedback.

Unknown Scent-Werewolf Series-Book Two is her second novel and was released on March 31, 2011. Both books are published through Black Rose Writing.

The series was inspired from Long's interest in the paranormal, science fiction and fantasy world. She enjoys reading, watching evening TV shows, movies and listening to music. Writing novels seemed a natural progression to indulge her passion in the entertainment arts, giving her active mind a playground of possibilities to explore.

Additional books are in the works for her Werewolf Series (total will be five).

She is also creating another paranormal/urban fantasy Bigfoot series (total will be three).

"It's exciting to create strong characters that the readers fall in love with...or want to strangle! Writing about other beings, such as werewolves and vampires, allows rules to be broken concerning life as humans know it to be. The idea to have these supernatural species living and breathing amongst us is so wickedly intriguing. Having close contact with them, developing relationships, dealing with the good vs. the evil; it sweeps you away into another reality - an escape from real life. The reader momentarily forgets that the characters are fictional. They believe and want them to be real."~~~~Gina

In addition, Gina is active on social networking sites, blogs and composes articles in her genre of fiction.

3.0 out of 5 stars A nice but not great read - interesting premise for the story, September 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Unknown Touch - Werewolf Series, Book One (Paperback)
This was an interesting story and different than a lot of the werewolf books out there. It was a lot about telepathy, and the main character, Kara, is a very strong telepath. I would consider this book YA although the characters are not teens (Kara turns 21 in the story) so perhaps it would not fit into that category. It would be appropriate for teens and reads like a YA book to me.

Kara, not realizing her special skills, is involved in a one car accident at night and finds herself "kidnapped" by a group led by a scientist named Eli and made up of an ex CIA Agent, an ex FBI agent, a talented telepath named Dom and several others. She is totally blown away to find out that she herself has great telepathic abilities, and she and Dom can communicate easily without words. She also has been having dreams of "speaking" to Daniel, someone she does not know. She learns that this group is secretly involved in helping supernaturals to blend in with humans, and there is a serious problem with a werewolf pack in Kentucky. A troublemaker has split off taking several others with him and there has been a murder and domestic animal killings in the area. Daniel, who has had telepathic contact with Kara in her dreams is the leader of the original pack and she had came in indirect contact with him while on a vacation which triggered the telepathic connection.

The book is about Kara's learning curve to use her talents, about the experiences when the group combines with Daniel's pack at his vacation resort and their fight to save Stephen, the rogue werewolf before he completely turns to the dark side.

There is a love triangle of sorts between Kara, Dom, and Daniel although it never is a serious choice. For me the book was a little too simplistic with a bit too much time spent with Kara being in everyone's minds. She instantly becomes an expert on working with the emotions of others and although this obviously is fiction to the max, it just had a lot of things that just were too smooth and predictable. It was a good story idea but the characters were perhaps just a little bit all too much the same and all too bland - if that makes sense. I realize this is this author's first book, and it certainly is not bad storytelling. Love the cover!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!, November 16, 2009
This review is from: Unknown Touch - Werewolf Series, Book One (Paperback)
A werewolf story that is also a love story, and with an air of suspense. The author blends these concepts seamlessly. A great storyline with characters that come to life. Can't wait for the next book in this series.

This review is from: Unknown Touch - Werewolf Series, Book One (Paperback)
'Unknown Touch' is an engrossing and fascinating glimpse into the lives of a young woman with newly discovered psychic abilities and communication skills. It chronicals her encounters with a group of ancient werewolves living their lives in the modern world.Her compassionate,insightful interactions with the wolves and a rogue government group sent to negotiate peace, is riveting. This new author displays a skillful ability to capture her subjects and paranormal theme. It is a book that will stay with me a long time and leaves me waiting for the upcoming sequel...at the same time I find myself looking over my shoulder and into the shadows!
