Your Weekend Read: MYTH STALKER

 

Coming March 26th

Myth Stalker: Wendigo Nights, by Shannon Lawrence

Warrior Muse Press

 

A late night call from her mentor sends Selina Moonstone on a mission to Canada, determined to track down a Wendigo and exterminate it.

Accustomed to facing off with the all too real creatures of Native American lore, Selina discovers the Wendigo is someone close to her, forcing her to change gears from destruction to frantic search for a cure. There's no known way to rid a person of the Wendigo spirit once it has begun the consumption of the victim's soul, a lesson she learned the hard way in her youth.

With her loved one's transition to Wendigo imminent, Selina must fight her own lifelong training as a Myth Stalker and find another way. She gathers a mismatched group of allies, including a charming Sin Eater and a conceited mercenary Cryptid hunter from her past, and embarks on a mission to find a solution before it's too late.

1. Nachos are best when bought from a food stand. Bonus points if it’s the middle of the night.

Selina and a friend grab nachos from a local food stand here in Colorado Springs after a

strenuous assignment. While I don’t name it in the book, it’s inspired by a real stand near my

house that has THE BEST Mexican food we’ve found in our city. And it’s open 24 hours! Great for

an insomniac (or not great, depending upon how you look at it).

2. Just like humans, fish need a certain amount of protein in their diet, which they usually get from

a wide array of sources, depending upon their size, from worms and insects all the way up to

mammals. Fresh-caught fish is good for you and tasty, too! Selina’s mentor likes to catch his

own fish at a lake near his house. He even catches one each time for a friendly local mountain

lion named Rocky. Selina herself is not a big fan of fishing, but she’s happy to sup with her

mentor when he does the work.

3. Did you know the U.S. Department of Agriculture has a rule about sandwiches that they can only

be 50% bread and must have at least 35% meat? Selina has sandwiches (somewhat reluctantly)

with a certain fellow in the book. They’re portable and convenient! But I’m pretty sure some of

my sandwiches have not been within the rules.
