When I first got published, I started out writing contemporary romance for Zebra. I really enjoyed it. I like writing small towns and “ordinary” people and about how they find love and overcome all their problems. I’d gladly go back to writing those types of stories again.
But I got to say, I’m really digging writing paranormals, which is what I’m doing now. Vampires. Although right now, I’m working on a werewolf, and she is too much fun. Well, she’s fun when she’s not being ornery. I think she is the most stubborn character I’ve ever written. The character, herself, isn’t overly stubborn. Only with me. She rarely does what I expect her to do.
But I digress. I’m loving writing paranormal romance, because I can have the craziest plots, the craziest characters, and as long as they fit into the world I’ve created, it’s fine. Right now, my werewolf is in heat. Yep, heat. How fun is that? She’s a madwoman, at the moment, driven by her “need to breed.” Now, I just couldn’t do that with one of my small-town heroines.
Okay, I guess the small-town heroine could be driven to have children. But with this werewolf, it’s way beyond wanting to have kids. This is a biological need. And she acts like a wolf about her goal. Or really, more like a dog focused on a particularly mouth-watering morsel of food. (Don’t worry, she doesn’t actually drool–but close.) I’m telling you, the hero has no idea what’s hit him. She’s a wild woman.
It is just so much fun. I do like to write lots of different things, but I hope to stay in paranormal for a long while. And I also hope to do things beyond vampires and werewolves. The paranormal seems so vast, and doesn’t seem to be dying off in popularity. At least, I hope not. I’m not ready to get off this crazy ride.

Hi Kathy,
I have to confess I am an absolute Paranormal fan! No matter if it are Vampires, Werewolves or other kinds of supernatural creatures. I love them all.
Can’t wait till your next paranormal comes out. By the way, when will the next book of yours be released.
Love paranormal books!
I am just getting into the paranormal, and I think what I read is classified as light. Paranormal covers such a lot of areas, and like you I think it is here to stay for awhile.
Kathy, now you have me hooked…I LOVE werewolves! I’ll be keeping an eye out for this book. Good luck on your writing.
I dont think I have read any paranormals.
I’m glad to hear that paranormals are still hanging in there.
Danny–My next of the vampire brothers (Sebastian’s book), which is titled I ONLY HAVE FANGS FOR YOU and it will be out in December. I also have an excerpt on my message board, if you are interested.

Callen–Yay! I’m glad you are hooked! My werewolf will be out in July 2007.
Thanks everyone for the feedback!
Kathy - You know how much I’ve enjoyed your FANG books, but OMG! I can’t wait to read this one!! Sounds like it’s going to be a hoot, and classic Kathy Love!
Kathy,
the excerpt is great. I can hardly wait to read the book!
The excerpt looks very good. Have a wonderful Sunday.:smile:
Love paranormals.
