Well, I do not generally complain about editing unless I do not see any. That is the more serious issue I run into these days in even a few of the top ePubs. I think as I said in the review I would love to see a few more lengthier stories in this series in particular.

Lauren Dane rocks! Try her Chase Brothers series just as fun.

I can’t say I’ve been very impressed by Cobblestone’s books, especially their GLBT selection. They tend to edit the life out of their stories, and most of the plots are recycled enough to begin with. Now, Lauren Dane’s Cascadia series on the other hand…yum!

Lauren of course they would not go for it. They want vampires like Twilight.

It takes ePubs like Samhain or Cobblestone to see the brilliance of a nice family Romance with small town werewolves.

I’ve run the idea past my agent who was not floored by the concept, LOL. I’ve been hot to write small town paranormals for a few years, but NY has been decidely meh about it (from me anyway) Maybe I’ll write it for Angie at Samhain…

Really like Patricia Briggs’ weres — definitely a favorite of mine. She hooked me with the very first book in the series, Moon Called. Recently ordered her earlier dragon books to see if I’m missing anything.

Thanks for the peek at Cora Zane’s story! I bought it tonight for a cozy evening read (Sigh. So many werewolves, so little time…)

Re “so much fantasy is the idea of the paranormal right around some forgotten corner” — would like to second the kudos on that! And yes, that’s quite a bit of the appeal of Charlaine Harris’ Southern Vampire series.

Dang, I guess were-mechanics are a new trend. Add a couple of were-construction workers and it could be a Gay Romance.

Sounds interesting. I have not brought any books from them but have checked out the link via your blog. I like the idea of a normal, mechanic were. I found the new character in the Sookie series who is also a were/mechanic very appealing. Patricia Briggs does something similar, very engaging reads both. I think there is quite enough supernatural characters running around out there with silly cars, flowing locks and lace up pants! Nice to see a different take.

Had a short story about Beauty, she was in a square being sold. Much more interesting that her Vamps. snore.

I have not read the Twilight series but went to the movie. S went with me, after much whining from me and there was much eye rolling and snorting. He kept muttering and grumbling about the longing looks. I so owe him.

Hey I have the first two of that series. Way more interesting than the Vampires at least.

um. By “those” I was referring to Twilight.

Oh Sula gave me “Anne Rice’s” Sleeping Beauty trilogy. Snore. I need to get to the pony book, I understand, for real clarity.

Anne Rice? Oh good luck I barely made it through the first book. Took her about two pages to describe a room and the opening of a window. I was really really annoyed. Wear Goth and act Emo when reading.
