[nikolasongsa]

"It is from Nature that I received these tastes, and I should offend her by resisting them – if they are wicked, it is because they serve her purposes. In her hands I am nothing but a machine for her to operate as she wishes, and there is not a single one of my crimes that fails to serve her; the greater her need, the more she spurs me on – I should be a fool to resist her. Only the law stands in my way, but I defy it – my gold and my influence place me beyond the reach of those crude scales meant only for the common people.” ― Marquis de Sade, The 120 Days of Sodom

"Nature is the first law and the last law-- The only true law. Man's failure to accept and live by nature's dictum stems primarily from his inability to come to terms with nature's innate brutality. The natural world is one of pitiless struggle and unending violence; a world in which destructive force is every bit as necessary and vital as creative force. Noted naturalist Charles Darwin summed up the situation thusly:

"Nothing is easier to admit in words than the universal struggle for life, or more difficult to constantly bear this conclusion in mind. We behold the face of nature, bright with gladness. We do not see, or we forget, that the birds which are idly singing around us mostly live on insects or seeds and are thus constantly destroying life; or we forget how largely these songsters or their eggs, or their nestlings are destroyed by birds and beasts of prey…"

“My characters are more like men than these real men are, see. They're rough and rude, they got hands and they got bellies. They hate and they lust; break the skin of civilization and you find the ape, roaring and red-handed.”

[nikolasongsa]

[Destruction, hence, like creation, is one of Nature's mandates.]

[nikolasongsa]

[We are no guiltier in following the primative impulses that govern us than is the Nile for her floods or the sea for her waves.]

[nikolasongsa]

[All, all is theft, all is unceasing and rigorous competition in nature; the desire to make off with the substance of others is the foremost - the most legitimate - passion nature has bred into us and, without doubt, the most agreeable one.]

J.D. Tyler:

J.D. Tyler is an award-winning, multi-published author who writes for New American Library under three pseudonyms. Whether this is due to an overdose of ambition or a multiple personality affliction, she'll never tell. J.D. writes dark, sexy paranormal romance and has a huge thing for shifters, vampires, the Fae, and just about everything else that goes bump and grind in the night. She can't get enough of those dangerous supernatural heroes, and the fun of creating her own was just too much temptation to resist... so she didn't. J.D. doesn't do self-denial. She lives in Texas with her husband and two teenagers. Taken from her Fantastic Fiction page.

My favorite series by J.D. Tyler is her Alpha Pack series.

Alpha Pack: Primal Law: "Founded by a group of former Navy SEALS, the Alpha Pack is a top-secret team of wolf shifters with Psy powers tasked with eliminating the most dangerous predators in the world. But the gift of their abilities comes at a price…

After a massacre decimates half his team and leaves him crippled, Jaxon Law must relearn how to fight—and battle the anger and guilt threatening to overwhelm him. But when he rescues a beautiful woman who reawakens his primal instincts, Jax is unprepared for the dangers that lie ahead.

On the run from her employer, brilliant lab assistant Kira Locke has evidence that leads the Alpha Pack on a hunt for someone targeting human civilians with Psy abilities. And as Jax and Kira circle both the killer and each other, Jax will have to decide if the deep connection he feels with Kira is worth breaking the ultimate shifter rule—because bonding with Kira means putting his abilities at risk, and they might be the only tools he has to keep his mate alive…" Taken from the books page on her website.
