Incident at Cougar Creek

by Mary Flodin

Overview

Two wounded souls, hunted by monsters, bound by destiny ...

A love forged through passion for a sacred land

In one of the most sensitive biodiversity hotspots in North America, Central California's rugged and beautiful Cougar Creek Coast Ranch National Monument, a brutal murder and a supernatural secret bring together Fish and Wildlife Officer Colin Dawson-an Army Ranger veteran struggling with PTSD-and Kumeyaay Native Delfina Cuera.

Will Colin and Delfina be able to rise above their personal wounds and learn to trust one another in time to stop the monster who killed Delfina's mother?

At the intersection of eco-thriller and romantasy, Incident at Cougar Creek posits the fantastical question: Can mutations in epigenetic DNA activated by the recent wave of climate havoc-induced pandemics turn humans into shape shifters?
