Blood Runners
Caught between two worlds, these half-breed protectors will stop at nothing in their pursuit of justice...and love.
The dark, sensual world of the BLOODRUNNERS is here…
Rhyannon is thrilled to announce that LAST WOLF STANDING, Book One in her new Bloodrunners series, is now available and joins us here in Community to fill us in on this exciting new trilogy.
LAST WOLF HUNTING and LAST WOLF WATCHING, Books Two and Three, will be available in April and May.
About the author:
Rhyannon Byrd fell in love with a Brit whose accent was just too sexy to resist. Lucky for her, he turned out to be a keeper, so she married him and they now have two precocious children who constantly keep her on her toes. Living in the Southwest, she spends her days creating provocative romances with her favorite kind of heroes—intense Alpha males who cherish their women. When not writing, Rhyannon loves to travel, lose herself in books, and watch as much football as humanly possible with her loud, fun-loving family.







LAST WOLF STANDING..
I'm really excited about discussing this series. I'm in the process of reading this first book. Let the discussion begin.
Of course, Rhyannon will be dropping by so feel free to ask her any questions you want about the series and her writing.

Here is what Romantic Times magazine had to say about LAST WOLF STANDING.
Half-lycan/half-human Mason Dillinger is a Bloodrunner who tracks werewolves gone bad and makes sure they never kill again. He's not too happy when he stumbles upon his mate in the middle of a hunt. Suddenly, the killer werewolf is after Torrance Watson, and Mason must to keep her safe. Fast paced and exciting, Rhyannon Byrd's Last Wolf Standing (4.5) is hard to put down. The characters' feelings are realistic, as are their reactions to each other. Byrd wonderfully sets the stage for the new Bloodrunners series. Her characters are well drawn, and her males are the epitome of sexy.

wow...what a writer!
i am completely satisfied with this book, actually could not wait for the second book so i ordered the ebook. both books were fast-paced with cohesive story-lines and sizzlin' hot romance/sexy scenes. i never was into paranormal romance but i made an exception for this. now i am chomping at the bit for the final book.
thanks Ryhannon....great writing for sure!

Thanks so much for coming by, and I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the first two books! :) Brody's is next, and I have to admit that it's probably my favorite of the three. He was such a wonderful, intense character to write, and I loved bringing him together with Michaela. Hope you'll enjoy it, too!!!
Thanks again!

I can hardly wait for my copy of...
...Last Wolf Hunting to get here. I've been a fan of paranormal stories for a little over a year-and-a-half now, and The BloodRunners series is right up there IMO.
I really enjoyed Mason's juvenile actions upon finding Torry... that was just so much fun. But there was a lot more to both Mase and Torry and getting to know the rest of the guys is going to be a treat!
Rhyannon, Will you continue with the paranormals once the BloodRunners series is complete? Not that I want it to be complete... you can continue on with it for years and I'd be more than happy to get each story!

Kalyko...
Thanks so much for coming by, and it's great to hear that you enjoyed Last Wolf Standing! Glad you enjoyed that opening scene, too. I had so much fun writing that one, especially the interaction between Jeremy and Mase. :)
The way I have the series planned is for there to be three sets of three, so nine stories in all. The next set of three takes place just a few months after these first ones. I'm working on #4 right now, which is Eric's story. The fifth one will be for his sister, Elise, and I believe those will come out at the beginning of next year. The 6th will be their older brother's story. :)
And then the last set of the Bloodrunners would take place a few years down the road, so that some of the younger characters have had a chance to grow up. Hopefully I'll get the chance to write them, because I think it will be great to revisit all the couples and see what they're up to. There's also going to be a certain Irish Bloodrunner who will finally get his own story in this last set. ;)
As for more paranormals, I'm thrilled to say that I have more on the way! I start a new paranormal series for HQN next year, with the first book out in April 2009!! They're very dark and edgy...but also really sexy. *g*
Thanks again!! And hope you'll enjoy Last Wolf Hunting!

Last Wolf Standing
I got this book because I loved the cover and the title. I also have book two on its way to me.
I was trying to decide what to read next and I think it will be LWS.

Both books
Both books are outstanding. Do you have plans to do more in this world when this trilogy is done?

I'm so glad you enjoyed them!! :) And I'm thrilled to say that there are more books to come from this world. Book 4 is Eric Drake's story and Book 5 will be Elise's. They're both set to release at the beginning of next year, and the timeline is about a month after the epilogue in Last Wolf Watching. We get to revisit a lot of the characters from these first three, as well as meet a few new ones. :)
Many thanks!!

Still reading, but had to ask!
Hello Rhyannon,
I'm still reading my copy of LAST WOLF STANDING (LOL, with a toddler in the house, my top reading time is at 3 a.m.!!!), but had to drop by the board and post a quick question:
I'm wondering how you decided on the name Torrance? It is a unique and lovely name, and fits the character well. It's also not a "traditional-girly" kind of name.
Some writers pick names from baby-naming books, others have a specific thought or history behind the character names -- I was just wondering what lead you to select it!
"It's perfectly normal to love both Jane Austen and Edgar Allan Poe..." -- (Me!)
Can't wait for Last Wolf Watching
I absolutely love these books.. I want my own Bloodrunner! I had ordered both books at the same time and the first was so good that I had to start in on the second right away. I read them straight through without stopping not even for a potty break.
Yea!
Very excited that there will be more books.

First chapter
I totally loved the first chapter of this book. It is so funny. Mason is just too cute in trying to get her attention.
Margie :)
Celtic lass...
Hey Celtic Lass! What a great question. :) When I first began writing, I started collecting names that really caught my interest and now keep them in a writing journal. I added the name Torrance to my journal after a conversation with my husband about Torrance, California. LOL. He told me he thought Torrance would make a cool name for a character, and I loved it, so I added it to my list. The names in my journal come from all sorts of places--movies, locations and even people I've known--but believe it or not, I honestly get most of them from my husband. LOL. He's wonderful at finding interesting names for me to add to my list, just like he did with this one. If I don't already have a character's name in my head when I begin a new book, I'll look in my journal to see if there's anything that fits with his/her personality. Torrance just sounded like the perfect fit for the heroine in LWS, and I loved being able to use the different nicknames for her. :)
Thanks so much for coming by, and I hope you enjoy the book!!

Loved Last Wolf Standing.
Okay, so there cannot only be three books in this series!!! All of the Bloodrunners are yummy. I think they each deserve a book. i mean how can you not give that sexy irishman his own book?

Stargirl, relax -- Rhy said
Stargirl, relax -- Rhy said in an interview with Harlequin that she's planned for three trilogies -- that's nine in total. I think we'll get a healthy dose of Bloodrunners coming!
Love the Series!
I absolutely love these books, and I am looking forward to reading the stories about the other characters.
I am glad the decision was made to publish the books so close together - I read so many books that I may have forgotten the details of the first story by the time I read the second. (of course, reading a few lines from the book will bring it all back to me, if I still have it!) This way I don't need that refresher!
I've got Last Wolf Hunting in my TBR right now..
.. but it won't be there for long! Very much looking forward to reading Jeremy's story... soon!

As for Cian, I promise that the sexy Irishman will definitely have a story of his own!! I'm afraid it's going to be one of the later books in the series, but hopefully worth the wait. ;) And until then, you'll get to see a lot him in the other stories. He shows up quite a few times in Last Wolf Watching, and again in the 4th and 5th books. :)
Thanks again!!

Hi Rhyannon
I loved Last Wolf Hunting! I'm really curious to see who all the bad guys are. I still have to place my April order so for Last Wolf Watching. I'm glad that Michaela is getting a story. She was really interesting. And I'm glad that sexy Cian will be getting his own story too. I love this series.

Rhy,I started it
Rhy,
I started it yesterday. I'm about halfway through. I love that their love story is so completely different from the first book. I really like Jeremy, well I like both of them - their love story is really believable.
And Cian is as yummy as ever. LOL. Ya know, Cian's charming flirtacious nature and the devilish way he likes to get a rise out of the other Runners reminds me of Anthony Mallory from Johanna Lindsey's historicals about the Mallory family. Anthony was the untilmate rake, and he laughed and chided his brother in law and brother when they fell in love. But oh boy he was something else, I mean he fell hard when he met his own match

wow....finished reading last wolf watching!
goodness Rhy, love, love, love those bloodrunners! i read last wolf watching on april 1st (ebook, because i could not wait :D) i don't know how i can wait to read the next series due in 2009! i've followed your books all the way to Ellora's cave in desperation for more of your style and i must say...you sure do have a way with writing words!
thanks! thanks!! thanks!!!
I love these books
Not to take away from the author Nocturne authors as they all write fantastic books, but I LOVE these books. (getting them for free helps lol! ;) only joking--trust me, I would pay retail for them.)
As an Irish/Scotsman, I have to say that it will be interesting to read a Celt that isn't stereotypically drunk half the time.

I haven't read it for years but I never forgot the last line where she asks if they can "try it again" in the chair. LOL! When I first read it, I borrowed it from my aunt. I bought a more recent copy a year or so ago, (not one of the older ones that probably had Fabio on the cover) with the intention of reading it agin sometime. It's called Tender Rebel.

Don't know how I missed that last post about Anthony, but my brain was in a bit of a blur leading up to RT. :( Sorry!!
