Fleeing everything and nothing, she thrashes her way along this flight away from the horror. The road she chooses seems safe until she observes a strangely ominous green light hovering in the mist, and always just ahead. Cascading into panic, Ellie opens the car door and Oscar jumps out. Without thought to safety, her only measurement is loss and she will not have any more as she disturbs every bit of air in the dark woods.Grief, loss and overwhelming panic drive Ellie to the ground.

Storytelling and self-discovery all in one fast paced trip through the Rockies.Beginnings of Ellie's magic life, becomes a reality, as wolf magic takes her. It is called wolf rising, and it throws a needful, romantic element into her life. As she grows younger, with this magic, this sixty-something heroine still runs daily with her wolves.

Some say that she isn't a lady; this is Lovejoy's character, Ellie. Her personal wolf, Nonny, Alpha of the pack, grows tirelessly. Add a little fantasy and magic, humor and continually changing scenes and you have Wolves Run, the series.
