Tea Cups & Tiger Claws
May 1, 2014 By
First comes the miracle and then comes the madness. The miracle is the birth of identical triplets, and the madness is all about money, of course. The year is 1916 and the rare occurrence of identical triplets turns the newborn baby girls into pint-size celebrities. Unfortunately, this small portion of fame soon leads to a much larger portion of greed, and the triplets are split up—parceled out to the highest bidders. Two of the girls go to live in a hilltop mansion. The third girl isn’t so lucky. She ends up with a shady family that lives in an abandoned work camp. That’s how their lives begin: two on top, one on the bottom, and all three in the same small town.
Identical in appearance and with the same blood in their veins, the sisters should have also shared united destinies. Instead, those destinies are thrown to the wind, and the consequences will be extreme. “Tea Cups & Tiger Claws” explores wealth and poverty, jealousy and conceit, and is ultimately a story about deadly ambition and how it will once again throw the sisters together. It’s a journey that spans fifty years, three generations, and the perilous gulf between the rich and the poor. Along the way, you’ll marvel at the opulence of a mansion where presidents are entertained, and you’ll walk cautiously through a shanty town that harbors the forgotten. So get ready for the unexpected, and let “Tea Cups & Tiger Claws” take you down the crooked byways of this captivating family saga.

Testing the Waters just got a little more crazy.
The first time I saw them smoking crystal meth, I had no idea what it was. They sat in a circle, and passed around a glass pipe filled with boiling liquid. The smoke was extremely thick and white. It had a slightly sweet smell to it. I knew that it couldn’t have been anything good, but other than that, I was lost.
The night I chose to leave Josh to be with Derrick, was the night I chose my fate for the next four years.
That night chose not only my fate, but the fate of Zoe and Chloe, and the fate of their relationship with myself and my family. My spiritual and moral struggle was just beginning.

What reader’s say about Michelle Fox’s werewolves:
“I love how well the characters are developed and rounded out – I feel like I know about these characters before they jump in the sack – which for me is a HUGE deal!”
“Fox adeptly weaves several enchanting love scenes into her romance framework.
Best of all, they actually add to the story.”
“This is the third shifter story I’ve read from this author, and I love the edge of humor, the way she introduces the problems of the pack, and the wolfish behavior that sneaks into the human interaction.”
Little known fact about being a werewolf: There are always wolves at your door and some of them are up to no good.
Chloe Weiss’ dreams have finally come true: She’s a null no more, her wolf has finally come. She’s now a full member of her pack in the remote Appalachian ‘weretown’ of Hunstville.
Even better, she’s mated to the pack’s next alpha, Jackson Swift. However, now that she’s on the other side of her happy ending, things aren’t quite as rosy as she’d expected.
The women of her pack resent her status as alpha’s mate and suddenly there are rumors that Chloe is an Omega, a werewolf so weak they are banned from ever mating. Worse, an old friend of Jackson’s blows into town full of disapproval….and competition. It seems no one likes Chloe except Jackson.
Then women start disappearing, violently kidnapped from their homes and never heard from again. There’s a killer on the loose in the small town of Huntsville, and the one wolf he’d do anything to have is Chloe.

Now Chloe will have to fight…for Jackson, her place in the pack, and her life.
