agents! Nobody has ever done that before! (remember, this
was almost a decade before The X-Files) And this covert
branch of the FBI fought supernatural criminals, but not all
supernaturals. Case in point, it is not illegal to be a vampire.
So if a vampire owned a herd of cows and only drank their
blood, then no laws had been broken and the Bureau will
have to defend the vampire against a mob of angry villagers.
Hot damn, now you're talking! This is exactly what the
Wolf Pack was supposed to be. Now I knew that with enough
effort I could get the novel there, but I liked the tone of this.
It resonated in my head and I made a decision.
Swiftly, I started creating an FBI investigation team: the
dashingly handsome Ed Alvarez, a private detective from

pounds and became a war veteran from Viet Nam, an
overweight warrior, still hard as steel in spite of the passing

lizard with a very big secret. As a military historian, it was
obvious that having only one wizard was poor tactics,
insufficient firepower, so I added Raul Horta (as strange a
character as I have ever penned), and then rounded them off
with a big, beefy, redheaded Irish Catholic priest, Father
Michael Xavier Donaher. After all, somebody had to do the
exorcisms. (Remember the movie that started this?)
While my friends gamed, I furiously wrote in the corner,
