In anticipation of Cassie's book Cross Breeds ,Elizabeth's wolf is re-released with a new cover: (Not that the old one was bad , but this was a consequence of getting back the rights of the books by the author)This is the book that we met Cassie for the first time as a little girl. Elizabeth is her mother. Cassie will help Elizabeth and Dash meet and consequently mate. Dash is a lonely wolf breed and a soldier who hides and pretends to be human.This is the book in which actualy the wolf breeds are also introduced. One of my favourite books in the series!From Lora Leigh's Facebook page about the new edition:Elizabeth's Wolf had somewhere around 30,000 words added. Clarifications as well as information that pulls the Vanderale connection in were added. Did anything change the story? No. The stories themselves or their plots, characters etc haven't been altered as of it. In The Man within, and Elizabeth's Wolf, its been information that only adds to the series or characters or clarifies them in some way. In reissuing the books, I wanted to make certain they were as clean as possible as well as ensuring that any plot holes in regards to the series were fixed. I'm 30 or 31 books into this series now, and after Cassies story the series will take another turn, with Dane Vanderale, Lobo, and several other characters taking more prominent roles. We'll still revisit older characters, but its time to let the new characters have their heads. I want to get those older books in circulation once again though, because they add to the series as a hole, in vital ways I believe. They show the beginning of mating heat, the fluidity of the heat, and the Breeds themselves in a way that can never go into a single book. I hope you enjoy the books. If you've already bought them, then no you don't have to re-buy them to understand the series or how it stands. The revised portions of the books aren't going to be extreme, nor change the books themselves in regards to plot. You don't have to rebuy the books if you've already read them. You don't have to have the books to continue readying the series. Those who haven't ready them, I hope you enjoy them as much as the newer titles. I've always tried to write the books to stand alone as much as possible. So acquiring the reissue's is not required :)
