Bear Roots

No one knew volkolaks lived among them. Certainly not Ursula Applegate, a social media volunteer for an animal rights group trying to end the New Jersey bear hunt. Ursula thought protests and social media would be the extent of her animal rights activism. Then she learns her friends are volkolaks, human-bear shapeshifters. Laws are broken, spells are attempted.

I wrote Bear Roots inspired by Pedals the Bear, a disabled bear who lived peacefully in the New Jersey suburbs until a hunter targeted him.

“If you followed the tragic story of Pedals the Bear, this author wrote a touching and imaginative story that is a tribute to him, and a call to end the New Jersey bear hunts” Author Thomas Pluck (Bad Boy Boogie)
