Sinopse

In "Wood-folk Comedies," William J. Long weaves a tapestry of whimsical narratives that delve into the lives of woodland creatures with a rich blend of humor and insight. Long's prose captures the essence of nature, employing a lighthearted yet poignant literary style that merges folktale elements with comedic storytelling. Set against the backdrop of the American wilderness in the early 20th century, the stories reflect societal shifts of the time while exploring themes of coexistence, morality, and the human spirit through the anthropomorphized characters of the animal kingdom. William J. Long was an influential American author, naturalist, and a prominent advocate for the conservation of nature and wildlife. His experiences as a teacher and his passion for storytelling fueled his desire to engage readers with the beauty of the natural world. This background, coupled with a deep appreciation for the interplay between humanity and nature, inspired Long to create a narrative that serves not only as entertainment but also as a reflection on the world's interconnectedness. "Wood-folk Comedies" is a delightful read for those who appreciate nature, humor, and the simple lessons of life. Long's charming tales invite readers to reconnect with the wonder of the natural world, making it an essential addition to any library for both young and old alike.

    The whole team knows that Leo only has one rule: do not even think about his sister. The same sister I find in a towel outside her door one night, locked out of her apartment next door to his. 
     
     
     
    It's a rule that I've found fairly simple to follow, if only because I don't see her around much. She's an artist, and other than seeing her out and about with friends a few times at LuLu's, I can manage ignoring her existence. 
     
     
     
    That is, until Leo secretly adds her to our team's fantasy league. 
     
     
     
    He probably would have gotten away with it, if not for the fact that the mysterious newcomer drafts me first overall, sending a shock through the league. I may be good, but I'm not first overall good. 
     
     
     
    I would be lying if I said I didn't use the opportunity to get closer to her. But when I stupidly propose a weekly challenge, I can't ignore the feelings growing inside of me . . . and it's clear she can't either. 
     
     
     
    In the blink of an eye the stakes are higher than ever. 
     
     
     
    The problem? Her brother, the quarterback of the Baltimore Cobras and my best friend, is going to eat me alive.

    A mating of convenience even a lone wolf can't refuse. 
    I'm Wren, a shifter without a pack in a world where unclaimed females are considered property. Luckily, friendly ghosts keep me one step ahead of greedy alphas while also helping me free other women before they’re sold to the highest bidder. 
    Then a battle-scarred alpha who can banish ghosts with a single touch rips into my carefully controlled world. Locke offers me a deal: become his mate in name only, and he’ll fight by my side to free lone females. 
    I try to refuse. I should refuse. But when one of my ghosts becomes trapped in Locke's territory and the next mate market looms, I realize I can't win this battle alone. 
    I need the help of someone living—even if it means binding myself to the same sort of person who turned my friends into ghosts. 
    Mate Market is the first book in the slow-burn romantic urban fantasy Ghost Pack series, set in the unforgiving arctic wilderness where forced proximity, found family, and fierce werewolves collide.
