I'd written the first one as a play story...something for me to work on when I'd hit a wall in my current WIP. I knew nothing about shifters. Had never read about them. Didn't know how they were to behave. They were pure imagination. I still feel a little deceitful calling myself a paranormal author when I so seldom read it.Vonnie Davis, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11742153442761437530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-66075340199488191542016-08-26T16:20:38.388-05:002016-08-26T16:20:38.388-05:00It looks like my books sell the way I move.

Pink wig...pink feathered boa, black and pink dress, and pink pelican baffies (bedroom slippers in Scottish). Calvin and I walked by the long line of women waiting to get in and a collective "Effie!" rang out and women ran toward me! I didn't know what to do!

I follow authors, not publishers. When I find an author's style that I like, I read every single book. So, keep at it!! I haven't gotten to the shifter series yet, but I loved your Fireman series! And the humor? LURV it! Stay true to you.
