******* GUEST POST *******
Ten Random Fun Facts about
Heroine Frankie Amato
Werewolf packmaster,
Frankie Amato, is the first female packmaster in Rochester. Frankie is one tough
chick who commands the respect of her pack. But despite her powerful exterior,
Frankie is a tender person at her, who loves her pack and would do anything to
protect them, including sacrificing her own happiness for the greater
good. She’s asked to do just that in Twilight Hunter when
she’s expected to mate with an alpha male member of her pack, but at the last
moment, Frankie skips the mating ceremony and instead winds up in the clutches
of a man who hunts and hates her kind. With the days
quickly leading up to the release of Frankie’s novel, Twilight
Hunter, I thought I’d share with you ten random fun facts
about this badass chick who steals the heart of werewolf hunter andTwilight Hunter hero,
Jace McCannon.
Enjoy!
1. Frankie is a
professional salsa dancer and instructor, and owns a studio where she teaches, so when she’s not fighting rogues or keeping the members of her pack
in line with brute force, she’s shaking it out of the dance
floor with style.
2. Frankie was born and raised in Rochester, New York and aside from
family trips to visit the “old country” in Italy, the only places she’s traveled outside of
Rochester have been for salsa competitions.
3. On that note, she’s also Italian. You know, in case you couldn’t tell
from her name.
4. Many people assume that
Frankie’s name is a shortened version of Francesca, but it’s not. Francesca was
her mother’s name. Frankie’s birth
name is exactly what she’s called: Frankie. However, she
uses the name Francesca to hide her identity from werewolf hunter and hero
Jace McCannon, who would gladly
serve up the packmaster’s head on a silver platter. Don’t even get her started
on the fact that Jace assumed Frankie was a guy’s name...
5. Family was a huge part of Frankie’s life until her parents were
murdered three years earlier, which as her parents’ only child, allowed her to
ascend to packmaster to replace her father.
6. Frankie’s favorite color is red, but she looks best in blue, which is
why most of her salsa costumes are that color.
7. She hates long walks on the beach, mainly because she can’t stand
overbearing heat, though she doesn’t really like the Rochester cold
either.
8. She spends an unreasonable amount of time in the nail salon getting her
nails done, particularly near the time of her annual estrus cycle, but it’s
purely out of obsessive necessity.Fingernails which won’t stop growing is one of the shitty parts of being a female
werewolf. Thank God that only happens once a year.
9. Her fighting specialty is speed shifting. While it takes some shifters
nearly a minute to shift into wolf form, in a
pinch Frankie can do
shift in one second flat—literally—which is a powerful
tool in a fight. She’s very in touch with her inner wolf.
10. In wolf form, Frankie’s fur is midnight black, the same color that her
hair is when she is human form. Though her eyes are normally a deep chocolate
brown, when she’s in wolf form they’re a bright golden hue
