Growing up, I LOVED scary movies. My favorites were the Creature Features. Though the monsters were the ‘bad guys,’ I always felt an affinity for their plight – alone, isolated, different and unloved. They just couldn’t get a break. It wasn’t until I saw the movie Ladyhawke with Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeifer, where lovers cursed to become a hawk and a wolf, one at night and one during the day could never be together in their human forms except for that brief moment in-between, that I realized that these tragic tales could also be romances. A keen creative interest in all things Shifter was born.
Whether they be wolf, bear, dragon or Guinea pig, Shifters are instantly relatable because they also take on a human form. From there, the only limit is the writer’s imagination. Your world, your rules. Creating both was a huge part (a really fun part!) of writing my ‘By Moonlight’ shape-shifter series. Visit my world HERE and make sure you take a peek behind the “Step Inside” tab to get a glimpse of the series mythology.
Variety is what keeps Shifter stories fresh and new. Everything from Mystique in the X-Men to Sherrilyn Kenyon’s “Dark Hunters” are there to excite and entertain. Who are your favorite Shifters? Do you prefer a certain ‘type?’

ReplyDeleteHi, I pretty much like any shifters though favorites are wolf or any large cat; I have yet to read a snake shifter but I'm sure I will sooner or later.
ReplyDeleteSnake? What would that leave? Spider? Ewww!
DeleteLove shifters but to decide if i prefer a specific kind is harder i guess it's wolf or feline one^^ ( loved the eagle in Storm force by Susannah sandlin though)
ReplyDeletethank you for this giveaway
I'm not a fan of horror. Too wimpy. LOL I do like your shifters, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Di. And I like your space cowboys!
DeleteHave to admit I never read shifters until the Moonlight series. Wowza! Max made me a believer. Love the series, Nancy.
ReplyDeletethanks for the fun giveaway! I love pretty much any type of shifter :)
ReplyDeleteI like a variety of shifters. Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series has a nice mix including a lion and honey badger.
ReplyDeleteLadyhawke is one of my all-time favorite authors. I love the idea of shifters and am particularly fond of feline and dragon ones but I enjoy stories with all kinds. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI was so in love with the concept of Ladyhawke. I wanted them to be cured. I love the different types of shifters there are from Sherilyn's to Eve Langalis's shifters. :)

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! They're always so much fun!
DeleteI have lots of favorite shifters. My first favorite was Adam Hauptman from Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson series, I like Eileen Brooks and Ilona Andrews shifter heroes too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway opportunity, Nancy!
Love shifters! Ladyhawke kicked butt! I love all kinds of shifters but I think my fav will always be the wolf. I remember watching all these horror movies growing up and one of my fav's was The Monster Squad and I loved the Wolfman from that. I know he was sorta a bad guy but it kind of gave me a fascination with shifters.
ReplyDeleteI love your books. Thanks for the giveaway!!!
ReplyDeleteThank You!!
DeleteThank you so much! I like unusual shifters, especially birds...
