Women who run with wolves
So I’m getting to write werewolves again, and I love it. Werewolf heroines can get away with things a “normal” heroine couldn’t. Like, you know, leaving dead bodies behind them.
Wolf In Cheap Clothing gave me a taste of the fun of writing women who run with wolves, and it’s the closest thing I’ve done to a perfect story. Ever since I’ve wanted to do a full-length single title werewolf tale, but due to various obligations it didn’t work out. I did write Wolf In Shining Armor in the meantime, and I’m thrilled that these novellas are releasing in print through Pocket over the next year. But now I finally get to do the full-length adventure I wanted to do two years ago (yes, it’s been that long), and there will be another dead body along with the wisecracks and flaming hot sex, mwahaha.

Nothing beats being able to write what you love, does it? When I’m writing something I enjoy, it gives me a high that can last for hours. (Just don’t ask about those difficult scenes…) I can honestly say that I haven’t read a werewolf movie, though now you have me curious. The closest I’ve gotten is Harry Potter and a variety of vampire books, which don’t exactly count, methinks.

Caryn, if you want a good werewolf rec, pick up Bitten by Kelley Armstrong. Laurell K. Hamilton does werewolves well, too. I’m psyched to be writing more wolves!

YAY for us. I love your werewolves, Charli.

Werewolves? I like werewolves. Can’t wait til yours come out next year. I’ve got werewolves in my current (and still not finished) WIP.

Ann, werewolves are way too much fun. So many possibilities!
