  About the Author

  Paws and Planets was written by Scottish author Candy Rae, a life-long fan of fantasy fiction. She has realised her unique ambition of completing a five book series about the mysterious Planet Wolf. The series is not just the untested product of her fertile imagination; they have been carefully crafted to appeal to the discerning reader and enthusiastically endorsed by a small, independent and demanding focus-group. Readers of the books will become aware of the secret sub plot which runs through the series and which will keep them engrossed until it is revealed.

  The novels are accompanied by a full glossary of names and places and a guide to the various languages and cultures discovered as the story unfolds.

  Candy is at present writing the sequel, Justice and Joy.

  Special thanks to Jennifer for helping to link Ayrshire, Scotland with California, U.S.A. when she supplied outstanding artwork for all volumes.
