No, I’m not talkin’ ’bout man fur! Eeewwwww! I’m talkin’ werewolves and other shapeshifters. What is it about these furry guys that turn us on?

I think it’s taking that bad boy persona and ramping it up ten fold. The heroine falls in love with a guy who, with his little finger, could snap the neck that’s just been bared for his pleasure (and hers, I might add). It doesn’t hurt that he has more sex appeal in that little finger than any other man she knows. In addition, she’s guaranteed a hero who will fight to the death for what’s his, a man who loves as fiercely as he hates in true alpha hero style. And in the heroine the paranormal hero finds his reason to keep on going, discovers renewed faith in love and learns that even in the dark world he inhabits there are reasons to laugh.

In my Moon series with Brava, I have two types of werewolves—those who go from man to wolf and those who stop somewhere in between; those who have been cursed, and those who have been bitten. The man who’s under a curse goes from man straight to wolf. Those who have been bitten and thereby turned by another werewolf can, with practice, partially transform or they can go straight to wolf as well. The hero in Daring the Moon (book one), suffers from a family curse first visited upon his great grandfather. Ryder Merrick can control his transformation to wolf except during the three days of the full moon. The heroes in books two and three (Declan O’Connell and Rory Sullivan, respectively), have both been bitten and so their werewolfism (yes, it’s a word! LOL) is a different type than Ryder’s.

If you read (or write) paranormals, what is it that draws you to them?
