Hereâs a message from the author.
Hair in All the Wrong Places is the result of a misspent childhood watching late night movies about werewolves and other creatures that go bump in the night. The story follows Colin Strauss; an outsider in the small town of Elkwood who, in addition to dealing with the struggles of puberty, also finds himself being turned into a werewolf. As if dealing with homework, bullies, and an unrealistic crush on the hot goth girl wasnât enough! I love this cover because it perfectly captures Colinâs character and his discovery that he might indeed be growing hair in all the wrong places.
Title: HAIR IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES
Author: Andrew Buckley
Pub. Date: June 7, 2016
Publisher: Month9Books
Format: Paperback & eBook
What has he done?
What's happening to him?
And what on Earth is that smell?
For Colin Strauss, puberty stinks. Blackouts, hallucinations, and lapses in memory are the perils of growing up werewolf.
Worse than that, Colin worries he might have had something to do with the recent attacks on townspeople. He may have eaten a person. It doesnât matter that itâs someone he doesnât particularly like. What kind of boy goes around eating people?
Foolishly, all Colin can think about is how Becca Emerson finally kissed him for the first time. Yep. Hormones are afoot. Or at hand. Yikes.
But girls will have to wait. Collin better get himself under control before someone else ends up hurt . . . or worse.
Excerpt
First, a word of warning â¦
I donât want to get too scientific here, but there are a few things you should know before you sink your teeth into this book. Iâve tried to keep it simple enough that anyone twelve and up could read and understand it. Werewolves were everywhere in Europe in the late sixteenth century. Go to a party, there would be a werewolf. Go to work, youâre probably working next to a werewolf. Bump into a stranger on the streetâwerewolf! They were slowly killed off in Europe as the true nature of a werewolf is a terribly hard thing to control. Eventually you get that urge to eat someone. And letâs face it; eating people is just rude. Now hereâs the scary bit, the bit that concerns you. While werewolves ceased to be a part of the world, they didnât necessarily leave it. On the contrary, humans evolved to repress the werewolf gene out of the fear they would be decapitated, shot with a silver bullet, burned alive, or a terrifying combination of all three. What this means is that every single human being is still carrying the werewolf gene. You, right now, sitting right where you are, has the werewolf gene swimming around somewhere inside of you. Genes are strings of DNA. DNA makes you who you are. You have that werewolf gene inside you. Itâs just not active. Not yet. To fully activate that werewolf gene, youâd have to be bitten by another werewolf, someone who turns into a giant wolf-like creature when thereâs a full moon. So fear not! As long as no one has bitten you recently, youâre likely okay. So why this warning? Youâre probably thinking thereâs no chance Iâll turn into a werewolf because I havenât been bitten. That is absolutely true. However, while itâs impossible to turn into a werewolf unless youâre bitten, it is very possible to awaken that sleeping werewolf gene by learning too much about them. This book will teach you a lot about those hairy creatures of the night, so I want you to be extra careful while reading it. If you notice any of the following things, stop reading immediately: - You find yourself looking at other humans and thinking lunch. - You start to notice smells you never smelled before. - You growl at people instead of talking to them. - Your nails begin to grow at an alarming rate. - You scratch your head in public using your leg. - You greet your friends at the bus stop by sniffing their butts. - You begin to grow hair in all the wrong places. Youâve been warned. Chapter One Loser Colin looked directly into the reflection staring back at him from the bathroom mirror and with absolute conviction said, âYou are a loser.â His reflection agreed. Much as he had done almost every day for the last year, Colin evaluated his body. He was tall for a thirteen year old, with lanky limbs and broad pointy shoulders that bordered on skeletal. His face looked to be at odds with the rest of his body with its gaunt features and perpetually dark circles beneath the eyes. Pale skin stood in stark opposition to his unruly dark and stringy hair. Trying to sharpen his vision, he squinted before fumbling with his glasses. His reflection didnât look any better with them on. After drying off, Colin got dressed and headed downstairs. âWhy are you dressed like that?â snapped his grandmother from her usual place in front of the TV. She hadnât even looked at him yet, not that it mattered. Colin didnât know what was more disturbing: that despite his grandmother being completely blind, she still watched TV religiously and commented on his clothes every day, or that he still felt the need to defend his choice of clothing to her. He was wearing jeans and an oversized hoody. âItâs school today, Grandmother. Iâm dressed for school,â he murmured. âI know that!â she spat. Nothing wrong with her hearing, though. âDo you need anything?â he asked. His grandmother sipped tea from a china cup. âI can take care of myself, you little ingrate. Get to school. Youâre going to be late. If you donât get an education, Iâll never get your lazy butt out of here.â There was no point in arguing. âAnd comb your hair before leaving the house. I donât want people thinking Iâm raising a hobo!â she said. As Colin walked past the living room, his grandmother turned around in her chair and stared in his general direction with gray eyes damaged irreparably by cataracts. Blind eyes followed him as he walked to the door as quickly as he was able. It wasnât until he was outside with the door firmly closed behind him that he allowed himself to breathe again. Colinâs grandmother had always terrified him. He couldnât remember a time when she wasnât blind or cruel. Colinâs parents lived in Seattle and over the past thirteen years had managed to have as little to do with their only son as humanly possible. They were young when his mother had discovered she was pregnant, and the following nine months had put a severe dent in their career plans. They were both up-and-coming lawyers at large firms, and as soon as they could be rid of Colin, theyâd passed him off from one distant relative to another. Beyond that, they had no parental aspirations whatsoever. Just over a year ago, after a short stint living with an uncle and aunt in Ohio, Colin had been sent to the small town of Elkwood to live with his only living close relativeâhis grandmother, Beatrice Strauss. She hadnât welcomed him, there were no hugs, no loving relationship, just a bitter old woman who spent most of her days parked in front of the TV and commenting on what a disappointment Colin was. Heâd tried to help her, but she never wanted it. Despite being blind, she was more than able to get around and take care of herself. The only time she left the house was to attend the monthly town hall meetings to which he was never invited. Colin was twenty feet from the bus stop when the school bus flew by. The mocking grins of students plastered the busâs back window as it disappeared over the hill. Thankfully, the school was centrally located, which meant heâd be only slightly late. On his way to school, Colin passed Mrs. Flipple, a kind old lady who walked her tiny, yappy dog, Jinx, each morning, rain or shine. As per usual, Jinx went straight for Colin, yapping in that high-pitched bark that only small, irritating dogs can make. Colin nodded politely to the old lady and held on to a secret hatred for that little dog. The town was always overcast, and it rained almost every day of the year, which suited Colinâs depressed personality. He was thankful he didnât live in a warmer climate as heâd have a much harder time being pale and awkward. Heâd survived the seventh grade at Elkwood School with above-average grades and a below-average number of friends. He was still considered a stranger here. His lack of personality, athleticism, and sense of humor didnât help in the slightest. He wasnât handsome enough to be popular or ugly enough to be ignored. He was just weird enough that students could be heard wondering aloud about him as he walked by. Now in the second week of his eighth grade year, Colin had one sort of friend, one unrealistic crush, and was the constant focus of several bullies who were determined to make his life miserable. Loser. He reached Elkwood School just as the second bell rang to indicate the start of classes. On average, each grade at the school contained only twenty to thirty students, and because of a limited number of teachers, some classes taught more than one grade or subject. As Colin ran up the steps to the main entrance, a dark, looming shape confronted him. He looked up into the face of Principal Hebert. âYouâre late again, Mr. Strauss.â His voice sounded like rumbling thunder. âIâm sorry, Mr. Hebert. I missed the bus.â âWhile I admire your use of a classical excuse, Iâd prefer if youâd made an attempt at originality. Had you been more creative, I would not feel the need to place you in detention.â âIâm really sorââ âBut as youâre still trying to apologize rather than give me something interesting to work with, Iâll be seeing you after school.â Colin studied his feet carefully. âYes, sir.â âRun along.â Mr. Hebert gestured, pushing his hand ahead of him in a forward motion. Colin made his way into the building and chanced a glance back to see Principal Hebert slowly shaking his head. Hebert was a former marine and rumored war hero who had retired to Elkwood almost ten years ago and although he had absolutely no qualifications had been appointed as the school principal. He was a massive hulk of a man with the sort of physique that suggested he could bend large metal things with his bare hands. Principal Hebert was a firm believer in detention and hard work and often liked to combine the two. Most detentions involved cleaning something. Colin made a mental note that his day was not off to a rip-roaring start. Canât get any worse. Colinâs day quickly got worse. He moved down an empty corridor, his sneakers squeaking loudly on the clean laminate flooring before entering the last classroom on the right. The entire class turned to look at him. Some groaned, others laughed, a few smirked. Mrs. Davenport was the substitute teacher again today for Biology, and she greeted him with a warm smile. âGood morning, Colin. Please take a seat. We were just getting started.â Colin shuffled over to his seat next to Jeremy Rodson, the only person in Elkwood Colin could refer to as a friend. Everyone liked Jeremy even though he had never really joined one particular group. He played on the basketball team, so the jocks liked him. He was smart and maintained decent grades, so he was accepted by the smart kids. He was a good actor, so the creative types liked him. Colin had met him on his first day, and Jeremy had introduced him to the school. With so many commitments, Jeremy wasnât always around, so Colin was still forced to maintain his unhappy, loner lifestyle. âNo Mr. Winter again?â Colin asked quietly. âApparently heâs sick,â said Jeremy and grinned. âWhy are you so late?â âMissed the bus.â âDetention again?â âYup.â âPay attention, boys,â said Mrs. Davenport with a smile. She was flipping through a PowerPoint presentation about pheromones. As the only substitute teacher in the small Elkwood School, Mrs. Davenport was never short of work. She was also the kindest teacher that Colin had ever encountered. Her presence had a calming effect on the students that Mr. Winter could never manage. Mr. Winter was a jerk. It wasnât just Colinâs opinion but more of a collective agreement throughout the entire school, including the teachers. An uptight individual in his late thirties, he had a particular hatred for students, teaching, other teachers, and did I mention, students? A few years ago, Mr. Winterâs entire familyâwife, parents, grandparentsâhad been killed in a car accident, and rumor had it that the insurance settlement had been sizeable. The rumor quickly proved true when Mr. Winter started travelling the better part of the school year. âPheromones indicate the availability of a female for breeding.â Mrs. Davenport was met with a round of sniggers. âWell, itâs true,â she said calmly. âAll animals excrete pheromones, and they can indicate a variety of things. Anything from sex to marking territory, and it can even act as a defense mechanism.â âColin, you should get yourself some pheromones,â said Gareth Dugan from behind a textbook. His cronies laughed in honor of their leaderâs display of wit. Gareth was a bully with scraggly hair and a troubled complexion. Having been raised on a farm on the outskirts of Elkwood, Gareth had always struck Colin as being quite large for his age. Gareth didnât like Colin, but then, the feeling was mutual. âWhy would I need pheromones?â shot back Colin. âYour smell already overpowers everything in the room.â That probably wasnât smart.â The entire room agreed with him by sitting in absolute silence. âThatâs enough,â said Mrs. Davenport and cheerfully continued to describe other chemical factors that trigger social responses. Colin dared a glance back to see Gareth glaring at him like a lion eyeing an injured antelope. Gareth would inevitably seek revenge. Colin didnât need a chemical factor to trigger a social response. All he had to do was open his mouth. He tried his best to concentrate on his textbook, opened at random, but his thoughts remained fixed on how to save himself a beating Jeremy, who remained happily oblivious and completely free of any such dealings, leaned over enthusiastically. âDid you take a look at Tori yet? Classic Tori outfit.â He grinned and subtly tilted his head backward. Having developed earlier than any other girl in school, Tori was the blond bombshell of Elkwood. Okay, she was more like a small nuclear explosion. To aid the raging hormones of teenage boys, she made a habit of wearing low-cut shirts complimented by extremely short skirts. Mrs. Davenport turned to the whiteboard, and Colin glanced back three rows on the right to see Tori conveniently perched on the edge of her stool wearing a short powder-blue skirt and knee-high boots. Colinâs eyes followed the curves of her body upward until he realized she was looking directly at him with a wry smile. He blushed instantly, but the awkward moment was suddenly interrupted as a textbook smashed into the side of his head, sending his glasses skittering across the desk and onto the floor. The class laughed as Colin slipped from his stool and crawled around in front of the desk, searching for his glasses. Mrs. Davenport whirled around, spied Colin on the floor, and asked, âWhat was that? Colin, what are you doing?â âSorry, Mrs. Davenport. Just looking for my glasses.â The bell rang before any further interrogation could be made, and the class headed for the exit. Colin still couldnât find his glasses. Ironic. If I was wearing my glasses, Iâd have no trouble finding them. The side of his head was throbbing from where the textbook had struck him. No doubt Gareth or one of his minions to thank for that. Colin stood and came face-to-face with Becca Emerson, his heartbeat doubling in speed. âI found your glasses,â she said, handing them over. âUh, thanks, B-Becca.â The rest of the class had cleared out. He put on his glasses, and she came into focus. Around his height with fiery red hair and pale skin, Becca displayed a standoffishness that made most people avoid her. She wasnât developed like Tori, but neither were most cover models. Becca was a little like Jeremy in that she didnât associate with any one group, but where he belonged to everyone, she tended to avoid all people. Her dad was some sort of government worker, which translated to âspyâ to most middle schoolers. Becca always wore dark makeup and dark clothes making her look paler than she actually was. She maintained high grades, avoided large groups, and Colin had loved her since he first saw her. It was, of course, a secret love because there was no way he could ever work up the nerve to do anything about it. âAre you okay?â she asked. Oh, that voice. âUh, yeah. Just another head wound. Probably wonât be the last.â He attempted a half-hearted grin. They awkwardly stared at each other as Colinâs mind raced for something smart to say. What do I say? Youâre gorgeous? Want to share a slushee? Marry me? âOkay, well have a good day,â said Becca, and left. Smooth, Strauss. Very smooth. Not the most suave guy at the best of times, Colin managed to be even less so around Becca. How would he ever be able to ask her out, let alone have an entire conversation with her if he didnât even manage to open his mouth? *** Having made it to last period unscathed, Colin was busy staring at Becca as the minutes on the clock clicked by while he planned his escape. He would have to move fast, get out of the school, and off the grounds. Heâd skip the bus altogetherâ âWonder what Hebertâs going to have you do for detention today? My money is on cleaning the gym floor,â said Jeremy. Detention! âIâm so screwed.â âItâs not that bad, just cleaning.â âNot that,â groaned Colin. âGareth got detention in third period.â âWell at least youâll have company,â said Jeremy unhelpfully. The bell rang, and Colinâs heart skipped a beat. âJust once Jer, just once Iâd love to be as oblivious as you are.â âYou got detention today, Colin?â asked Becca. Colin almost dropped his books. He hadnât noticed her approach. âUh, yeah. I was late today.â âI know. I was there.â âRight.â âI was wondering if I could talk to you. Alone. I can walk you to your detention.â âIâve got to run anyway. Catch ya later.â And with that, Jeremy bounced off. âY-yeah, of course,â said Colin. This was new territory. Other than the occasional passing pleasantry, Colin had never had a full conversation with Becca. They walked down the south corridor toward the detention room at the back of the school. âI know it hasnât been easy for you,â said Becca without looking at him. âIt must be strange to move here. Most people are born here these days.â âUh, yeah, Iâve heard that. No one ever moves to Elkwood.â âThe people here arenât open-minded. They only know what they know. And who they know. This probably isnât making any sense.â âNo. I mean, yeah. Well. No, no itâs not.â Becca turned to him. Her eyes were a deep hazel color, heâd never noticed before. She put a hand on his shoulder, and suddenly his insides were on fire. It was only a moment, but Colin felt as if she was looking through him. Colin was way beyond his comfort zone and didnât know what to do. Was he supposed to say something? Did she want him to kiss her? Or was he misunderstanding her? When it came to reading girls, he was dyslexic. On the flipside, Becca Emerson was actually touching him! With her actual hand! But then she took her hand away and for a moment looked sad. âIâm sorry, Colin. I thought maybe ⦠but no.â She sighed. âI donât know if youâll ever be able to see things clearly here.â Colin had no idea what she was talking about; he was still reeling from her touch and for once actually managed to say something. âMaybe you could help me?â Did I just say that? What was he thinking? âI have to go. My dad will wonder where I am. Good luck in detention.â And just like that, she was gone. The ominous voice of Principal Hebert floated down the hallway. âNice of you to join us, Mr. Strauss. Are you going to just stand there, or do I need to drag you into detention?â Colin entered the room, noting the other attendees. Two students, Micah and Nathaniel Cross, otherwise known as the goth twins. They were pale with black tattoos, long black coats, tight black clothing, and permanent frowns plastered across their faces. Gareth sat with his feet up, smirking at Colin. âListen up,â began Principal Hebert. âYouâre here because you did something or you didnât do something. All I care about is what you do from here on out. Gareth and Colin, youâre on garbage cleanup. Nathaniel and Micah, youâll be sweeping the gym floor. One hour, people, and then I expect you back for dismissal.â Colinâs heart sank in his chest, down his legs, and through the floor. He was a dead man. Gareth clapped his hands with false cheer. âAll right, Colin, buddy. Letâs get to it!â They grabbed a couple of garbage bags and headed outside. Without saying a word, Gareth just started picking up garbage. Colin, braced for an attack and watched him for a moment before hesitantly bending to the task too. âIt was getting dark, and the rain made the job all the more miserable. After half an hour, Gareth had vanished around the other side of the building, and Colin began to think that maybe he had been worrying needlessly. As he rounded a corner toward the back of the school, he saw his mistake. Sam Bale and Kevin Hadfield were sitting on one of the permanent picnic benches. They both looked menacing, as usual. Backtracking quickly, Colin turned and bumped into Gareth who shoved him. âWhere you going, buddy?â He spat that last word. Colin dropped his garbage bag and backed right into Sam and Kevin, who were standing behind him. âWe donât have to do this,â pleaded Colin. âYou donât belong here, Colin,â said Gareth. âI know. Youâve told me before.â Gareth stabbed a finger to his chest. âAnd that smart mouth of yours really doesnât belong here.â âItâs attached to the rest of my body; I really donât have a choice in the matter.â Gareth faked a punch, and Colin flinched. âPlease, just tell me what to do,â begged Colin, fighting to keep the tears at bay. Heâd been here before; he knew what was coming. Kevin and Sam grabbed one of Colinâs arms while Gareth stood inches from his face. His breath stank. âI want you to go away. Thatâs all. You donât belong here. Sooner or later youâll get the message.â Gareth punched him hard twice in the stomach and then once in the kidneys. Colin dropped to the ground and curled into a ball. Sam and Kevin began kicking him and then stripped him down to his underwear until finally, they left. Colin lay sobbing on the cold ground, half-naked and in pain. This had been Colinâs life for over a year. Feeling like heâd failed at life in general, Colin had been reduced to living in a state of constant fear and humiliation. He had suffered bullying and his grandmotherâs hatred. Colin knew he was a loser, but he hated that everyone else knew it too. The only positive he could think of was Becca and the strange, brief conversation they had shared. He picked himself up, feeling his bruised ribs, wincing as he walked barefoot across the parking lot away from the school. Hebert would be angry that he didnât return for the end of detention, but he didnât care. He didnât intend to come back. He had to do something or he was going to end up dying here in Elkwood. Colin decided he had to go to Seattle to see his parents. Tonight.

Release Date: May 13th 2016
Summary from Goodreads:
Chrys has been in the Underworld for thousands of years, hidden away by her father, Hades, from all of the other gods. He's afraid that if someone finds out about her, they will destroy her because of the dichotomous power that she holds, the power of life and death. So she has remained in the Palace of Hades all her life, making very few friends and always bored out of her mind.
Huntley would have never guessed that after he died he would wake up with a beautiful girl standing over him. And that she would be the Dark Lord of the Underworld's daughter. Yet, for some reason, she keeps him around as her tutor, as if he knows anything about the world. But Huntley knows that all she really wants is a friend; being trapped in the Underworld can get pretty lonely.
That is, until Chrys decides she wants to run away to the human world after a big fight with her mother Persephone. Chrys claims her father is just over reacting and that nothing bad will come of it. There's no way that the gods will notice she's there for only a couple of days...right?
