Lila’s Wolf

The one with Richard Hammond and the exotic food
You know what it's like when you go on a foreign holiday,
and the food is unfamiliar, and you aren't sure what to eat. Everything looks
strange, especially if you're not used to adventurous food. I loved one of the
Top Gear specials, where the guys were riding a variety of motorbikes across
Vietnam. Richard Hammond had a deep mistrust of the local food, and ended up
eating breakfast cereal. All the time. I couldn't help feeling sorry for him.
In my new time travel series, that would be a constant
problem for my travellers. They can't exactly take their own food with them,
when they go hundreds of years back in time. They're supposed to be fitting in
with the locals, and embedding themselves fully in the period, and that means
eating the local cuisine.
How do you cope with exotic food? Do you dive in and try
anything, or dig through the menu for something safe? Tell me in the comments,
and you'll go into a draw to win the blog tour giveaway.
In Lila's Wolf (Out of Time #1), it's the opposite problem
for Jared. He'll eat pretty much anything, if he can get it.

Excerpt
A quick glance at Hilde. She gorged on a bowl of rabbit
stew, a trickle of gravy dribbling down her chin. It smelled good, and his
stomach growled, reminding him it was a long time since breakfast, not that
he’d been given much. The slaves were fed a thin gruel and rough bread in the
morning, and then whatever leftovers were available for supper. As a diet, it
sucked. He tried to supplement it by stealing the odd cup of milk or piece of
fruit, but that was risky at best.
Hilde spoke to him, and he dragged his attention back,
catching the last words. More bread. He nodded and stepped into the main floor
space, heading for the back wall to the table laden with food. He kept his eyes
downcast, hands loose by his sides, maintaining the protocols that had been
beaten into him.
My name is Jared, and I will be free again.
The temptation to rip off an extra chunk of bread was
immense. He entertained a brief vision of cramming it in his mouth unseen,
filling his empty belly without Hilde knowing, and then he sighed and dismissed
it as a pleasant fantasy. He had a lot of those and most were about Lila.

About Author
Romance author Sofia Grey spends her days managing projects
in the corporate world and her nights hanging out with wolf shifters and alpha
males. She devours pretty much anything in the fiction line, but she prefers
her romances to be hot, and her heroes to have hidden depths. When writing, she
enjoys peeling back the layers to expose her characters’ flaws and always
makes them work hard for their happy endings.
Music is
interwoven so tightly into my writing that I can’t untangle the two. Either I’m
listening to a playlist on my iPod, have music seeping from my laptop speakers,
or there’s a song playing in my head – sometimes on auto-repeat.
