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.
