The Hoodle (ePub)

What happens when you become a werewolf before you lose your virginity?

Be suave, be swashbuckling, be anything – but a home-schooled mummy's boy.

Follow Jake Fangle as he attempts to outwit, identify and destroy his deadly foe: The Dog No One Speaks About and seduce a woman – any woman.

Helped by Hemi Takitimu, professional werewolf hunter and warrior; Teen werewolf groupies the WWWC; Mavis Bedletter the librarian, sensual Simone, gorgeous Gaynor and three loyal dogs; Jake must deal to an ancient homicidal werewolf or die a virgin.

"Werewolves and poodles and talking teddy bears, oh my! The Hoodle is a cheeky commentary on small town New Zealand life as told by Jake Fangle, a reluctant hero with the mission to end all missions: to lose his virginity—preferably before he's killed by the most terrifying and vicious werewolf of all. Warning: be prepared to laugh out loud and spit your coffee! This one's NSFW (Not Safe For Work) in the best way." ~ Maree Anderson

Author's Note

Why a werewolf story? Why not? I say. No matter how frightening the subject, comedy can make horror fun. What started as a casual fun discussion about short stories with Christine Leov-Lealand inspired me to write this novel.

It started out as a short story but  kept growing as all these weird and wonderful characters kept begging me to release them. When you have lived over sixty years there are dozens of people personas available to your memory banks, some funny some not, but all capable of being satirised. This is a New Zealand story, and I hope it will appeal to all ages not matter where you are from if you still like to laugh at life.

Fiction is about the ride and the wonderful places and people you meet on the way.

Welcome to my world and the idiots who inhabit it.
