Predator Blog Tour and Giveaway!


ABOUT PREDATOR:


Title: Predator

Publication date: September 16, 2014

Publisher: Month9Books, LLC.

Author: Janice Gable Bashman



“Predator is a fast-paced, creepy page-turner! Bashman had me at the opening sentence and she’s still got me. I want more!”



Nancy Holder, New York Times Bestselling Author, The Rules



The hunt is on!



Sixteen-year-old Bree Sunderland must inject herself with an untested version of her father’s gene therapy to become a werewolf in order to stop a corrupt group of mercenaries from creating a team of unstoppable lycanthrope soldiers.



When Bree went with her scientist father to Ireland, she thought it would be a vacation to study bog bodies. She never expected to fall in love with a mysterious young Irishman and certainly never expected to become the kind of monster her father said only existed in nightmares. Dr. Sunderland discovers that lycanthropy was not a supernatural curse but rather a genetic mutation. When they return home, her dad continues his research, but the military wants to turn that research into a bio weapons program and rogue soldiers want to steal the research to turn themselves into unstoppable killing machines.



Bree’s boyfriend Liam surprises her with a visit to the United States, but there are darker surprises in store for both of them. As evil forces hunt those she loves, Bree must become an even more dangerous hunter to save them all.



Predator gives the werewolf legend a couple of new spins by introducing the Benandanti (an actual folkloric belief that certain families of Italy and Livonia were werewolves who fought against evil), as well as a modern scientific approach to mutation and the science of transgenics.

Dream Cast



Predator Dream Cast
By Janice Gable Bashman

When I was asked to pick my dream cast for my novel Predator I thought “this will be fun.” I used to work in television and film production but never on the casting end, so choosing actors for the roles was more difficult than I had thought. Although there are many great actors that could portray each role, I wanted the perfect fit. Here’s my dream cast:

Shailene Woodley as my protagonist Bree Sunderland –– Bree loves to investigate and explore. She’s smart, intuitive, and curious. She’s really into science, but she is also a typical teen who falls in love and experiences all the emotions that go along with it. Bree can be headstrong and she stands up for her beliefs, no matter what the consequences. Yet she is also caring and kind. When lives are at stake, she becomes one kick-ass heroine. Shailene Woodley dominated in her leading role as Tris in the film Divergent. Her character was both tough and sensitive. This is difficult to pull off, but Shailene did an amazing job. She’s perfect to play Bree.

Logan Lerman as Bree’s boyfriend Liam –– Liam’s also into science, he coaches kids, and he’s caring. But he’s tough and strong too. I loved how Logan Lerman portrayed an endearing and sensitive Charlie in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Logan also gained my respect as the hero Percy Jackson in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. He’s Liam for sure.

 

George Clooney as General Maberry –– General Maberry is a strong leader who cares for and looks out for the men under his command. He’ll do what it takes to get the job done. He’s also sensitive and caring. Everyone who meets General Maberry loves him (unless they are a military enemy of course). George Clooney as the lovable leader is a great fit. He’s a talented actor who can take on this role with ease.

Angelina Jolie as Isabella –– Isabella is a born leader. She prefers to work behind the scenes and hidden from the public eye. But she knows all that is going on. She is strong, responsible, and one kick-ass woman when forced to take action. Angelina Jolie is incredible when it comes to portraying a strong woman and just as great when it comes to portraying a woman who cares about those she loves. Isabella is the role for her.

Sam Trammell as Dr. Sunderland –– Dr. Sunderland (Bree’s brilliant scientist dad) is a driven and determined man. His work consumes a lot of his life but for good reason. He cares for others but doesn’t always know to show it. Sam Trammell can easily play super smart and caring. I’d cast him in a minute for this role.

Here’s the blurb for Predator:

The hunt is on! Sixteen-year-old Bree Sunderland must inject herself with an untested version of her father’s gene therapy to become a werewolf in order to stop a corrupt group of mercenaries from creating a team of unstoppable lycanthrope soldiers.

When Bree went with her scientist father to Ireland, she thought it would be a vacation to study bog bodies. She never expected to fall in love with a mysterious young Irishman and certainly never expected to become the kind of monster her father said only existed in nightmares.
Dr. Sunderland discovers that lycanthropy was not a supernatural curse but rather a genetic mutation. When they return home, her dad continues his research, but the military wants to turn that research into a bio weapons program and rogue soldiers want to steal the research to turn themselves into unstoppable killing machines. Bree’s boyfriend Liam surprises her with a visit to the United States, but there are darker surprises in store for both of them.

As evil forces hunt those she loves, Bree must become an even more dangerous hunter to save them all. Predator gives the werewolf legend a couple of new spins by introducing the Benandanti (an actual folkloric belief that certain families of Italy and Livonia were werewolves who fought against evil), as well as a modern scientific approach to mutation and the science of transgenics.

She will become the thing she hates, to protect those she loves!
