(2024) About the Book:
They Them Wolf is an LGBTQIA+ urban fantasy YA novel for readers 13+.
In a town where shadows hide secrets, Fred must unravel the truth before they become prey to something far more sinister than they could have ever imagined.
Seventeen-year-old Fred McTire is counting down the days until freedom. The foster system has dealt them a hand of hardship, but one more year stands between Fred and escape from their nightmarish existence.
That is until Genevieve 'Ginny' Chase, all blue eyes and freckles, sashays into Fred's life, unexpectedly brightening their bleak world. Yet, as Fred grapples with the complexities of adolescence - as if being queer in a rural town wasn’t hard enough - an unsettling force within them begins to stir, marked by violent outbursts and dreams of wolves with amber eyes.
The arrival of Mathusi Manebarn, a new student with familiar amber eyes, coincides with the discovery of a mutilated body on the outskirts of town, exposing a sinister supernatural cover-up.
The truth is elusive, and Fred must navigate a treacherous path of betrayal and familial ties as they unravel the secrets of their past.
They Them Wolf is a tale of self-discovery, identity, and the courage to confront the unknown, resonating with the howl of the wolves within.
