I can’t believe that it’s been two years since I published my first book, A Curve of Claw, and took the plunge into self-publishing. I remember sitting across the table from my husband at a local restaurant and telling him that I thought I’d like to publish a book. My husband, who is no lover of fantasy anything, arched his brow and asked what the book would be about. “Werewolves,” I said, thinking about Jason and Cadence’s book, “falling in love and all that good stuff.” He snorted and said, “Well, have fun.” And I did!
From the first line of A Curve of Claw to my most recent release, A Promise on White Wings, I’ve written nineteen books spanning five series with over 900,000 words written! I’ve come a long way since I first published, and I wouldn’t be anywhere without my fans and the amazing friends I’ve made along the way. Without your support, I wouldn’t have kept writing and publishing, pushing myself to write better and faster, to dedicate myself to writing. So to you, my fans and my friends, I humbly say thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
**Some fun tidbits**
- A Curve of Claw was published on November 12, 2011. My first fan email came on November 14, just two short days later!
- I save every fan email and message, and have printed out many of them and keep them on my desk.
- My eyes are hazel, but I always wished they were green (my favorite color), which is why Elizabeth and Cadence both have green eyes. Callie, though, has hazel eyes, and so does Bo.
- I didn’t know that Allen, Kentucky was a real place until a fan told me. To this day, I don’t know where the name “Allen” came from in my mind, but the town itself is patterned after a small town in Northern Ohio.
- I can play the piano and I love to sing. Music makes it’s way into a lot of my books because I love it so much. And although I don’t listen to music while I write, I do watch youtube videos and listen to the radio for inspiration.
- I buy a Pandora charm every time I publish a book. For Logan’s book, I bought a fairy. For Every Dawn Forever, a heart. For Lachyln’s book, a peridot charm for the month’s birthstone. For Jes’ book, a book of fairy tales.
- The hardest book to write: Callie’s. Ending the friendship between her and Cades was like a knife in my heart. Although it was organic to the storyline, it still made me sad.
- The book I had the most fun writing: Michael’s. All his funny quips and one-liners really made it a funny book to write.
- The book with the most research: The Tribe’s Bride. I learned more than I ever wanted to about living in the wild, from tanning animal hides to making salt.
- Upcoming book I’m most excited about: Melody’s (Marking Melody, Ashland Pride #3). I finally explore why the female lions are the way they are and reconnect with some ghosts from the Pride’s past.

Thanks to all of my fans and friends who’ve made the last two years so amazing! Good luck in the contest! XOXO, RE
My favorite is a wolf shifter. I love wolves in general and I think it would be awesome to be able to turn into one.
I agree, Tabatha! 🙂
I HAVE TO SAY I STARTED WITH A CURVE OF CLAW, SO THE BEARS ARE MY FAV. I HAVE BEEN HOOKED EVER SINCE. THANK YOU
Bears definitely have a place in my heart, too, Ang! 🙂
I’m glad I could hook you, Ang! LOL! You’re welcome…thanks for being a great fan!
You are one of my favorite writers & am a huge fan
Thanks, Barb! 🙂
My favorite type of shifter is a jaguar or wolf
Jaguar…very sexy!!
Werewolf is my favorite
I think wolves are going to be the most popular, Nikki…there are some really sexy wolf shifters out there! 🙂
I like wolf or dragon shifters
Hi Melissa! Some day I’d like to write about dragons. Love them!
Happy Second Anniversary! Love your books, so glad you decided to take the plunge, love them all 😀
Its a hard choice to make but i would have to say my favorite type of shifter is hyena.
Thank you so much, sweetie! I like being able to take hyenas, that are traditionally the bad guy, and making them into heroes. Plus, they’re pretty cool looking animals!
I love a werewolf something about the sexual and animal running so close to the surface
Dawn, that’s what I think, too! Wolves are definitely near the top of my list!
My favorite shifter are wolves, but I have a special place in my heart for the big cats and bears.
Michelle, it’s really hard to choose just one, too, because I like all of them in one way or another. 🙂
It’s a package deal. If the human side of the shifter is well-developed, they are irresistible. 🙂
Too true!
Wolf shifter Is my favourite, your bear shifters are sexy too 🙂
Thanks, vampy! 🙂
My favorite shifter would be wolves. I love how they’re always represented as wonderful and alpha and they mate for life 🙂
Michelle, wolves are definitely awesome. I also love the mate-for-life aspect!
Wolves. Def Wolves are my favorite. 🙂
I’m glad you stopped by, Leah! Good luck!
My favorite shifter would be a wolf. I have an obsession with wolves, always have. Congrats on your second anniversary!! Thanks for the giveaway!!
Kim, even before I started writing I loved wolves, too. I have several statues of them around the house and on my desk, they’re so beautiful. Thanks so much and good luck!
My favorite is also a wolf shifter, I studied a little about the history behind them (not them shifting but the wolves it self) and think they are the most beautiful and spiritual animals around. IMO…
Congratulations on your successful two years and for our sake as your fans we wish you many more years to come.
Very cool, Alda! Thanks so much, I hope to keep writing for a long time!
I love wolf shifters.
Bears are my second favorite.
Hi Jodi! I’m glad you like wolves and bears, I enjoy them too! LOL!
I really do love the hyenas and the wolves
Jennifer, I’m so glad! The hyenas kind of snuck up on me as heroes, but I’m glad I “discovered” them in Michael’s book. 🙂
I wanna say wolves but I donr know maybe cats….that is a tough question! 🙂
LOL, Stacy! Every time I think I could pick a favorite, I remember others that I like, too. It is hard to pick, because I like so many! 🙂
Wolf Shifters are my favorite because wolves are such beautiful creatures then second would be any type of cat
Awesome answer, Alison! 🙂
Definitely lions. I’m a cat-lover and think having a big head in your lap to stroke would be amazing.
What a great visual! I definitely think lions are awesome!
Happy Second Anniversary! I have two favorite shifters, Jaguars and Wolves. 🙂
Thanks Jessica! Jaguars…I love it!
I really love the wolf but my second favorite is the bear!
You’re definitely not alone in liking wolves & bears, Jennifer!!
Happy Anniversary.. I love The Wolf..
Thanks Tina!
I like them all however if I had to go with one it would be tiger or one of the big cats.
Big cats are certainly popular, I love there are so many varieties to choose from, too! Thanks!
Love the Lions
Meow, Lois! LOL!
My fave is any kind of cat, jaguar, panther. Bear shifters are my second fave.
Jaguar keeps getting mentioned, Suleika, I think I’m going to have to keep them in mind for a book series!
Also happy anniversary! I have loved each of your books and look forward to reading more. God Bless
Thanks so much, Lois! Hugs, RE
Congrats on 2 years! I love all shifters but partial to cats and wolves.
Forgot to say I love all your books!
Thank you so much for your comments, Robin!
Thanks, Robin!
One of the big cats-but I also love my wolves too.
Thanks, Jess! 🙂
Congrats on 2 years!
My favorite type of shifter is whatever I am reading at the time. I know it sounds like a cop-out. I have wolves, big cats, hyenas, gargoyles, dragons, raptors, and those that can shift into other critters. I truly like to read any type of shifter story.
I understand, Tiana! I definitely go through spells in my reading where I only want to read one type of shifter and not others! Gargoyles, dragons and raptors – oh my! 🙂
Congratulations on your two year anniversary! My favorite shifter is the wolf. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Thanks for stopping by, BookLady, and for your kind words! Good luck!
Congrats on your anniversary. Asking me to choose my favorite shifter is like asking a Mother who her favorite child is. I love them all but to narrow it down I would say wolves, big cats and dragons. Thanks for the giveaway.
Thanks so much! I love how loyal you are to the shifters you like! Good luck!
Happy Anniversary!!
Thanks, Leslie!
Love them all but wolves are my favorite.
It’s hard to choose, isn’t it?!
I am also partial to the wolf shifter. But I have enjoyed the other types of shifters in your books.
Thanks so much, Deanna!
i love any kind of shifter but wolf is my favourite
Thanks for stopping by, Angela!!
I am also partial to the wolfs, but next would be bears. I want to say a big THANK YOU for all the books you have written. Congruatalions.
Thanks so much, Belinda!!
Congratulations! I’d have to say, wolf and bear shifters are my favorite! I love to read about theses guys, thanks to you! (Love the Wolf’s Mate and Wiccan-Were-Bear series!)
That’s wonderful!! Thanks!
I am partial to werewolves and werecougars congrats on 2 years
Thanks so much, Ronda!!
Happy 2nd Anniversary :0) I’m so glad you took the plunge as I love your books & am always so excited to read the next :0) Cop out or not I love all shifter stories ;0)
It’s okay to love them all, Katrina, I kinda do, too! 🙂
Wow – 2 years! My favourite kind of shifter is a “sexy one”!
I think this is my favorite comment! Sexy shifters are definitely the best!
Happy Aniversary! I would have to say that my favorite shifters are wolves (But your hyena series comes in a close second). Those seem to be the types of shifter stories I am drawn to first. 🙂
Thanks Tia, that’s neat!! 🙂
Happy Anniversary! I enjoy many shifters but love wolves!
Thanks so much!!
Congrats on your two years!
Wolf, bear any kind of shifters
Howling in agreement, Nancy, LOL!
Thanks so much, Nancy!
Congrats on 2 amazing years!
Thanks so much, Kimberli!
I like them all but I guess I would say Wolves & Bears. Congrats on two years, can’t wait for Marking Melody
Thanks so much, Wendy!
Grats on 2 years! My fav. type of shifter would either be a dragon shifter or some kind of large cat! Thank you and Happy Holidays!
Oooh Dragons, they’re definitely on my to-write list! Thanks and happy holidays to you, too!
I love wolves but I also love big cats and bears too. congrats on your anniversary and thanks for the giveaway
Thanks so much, Christine!
I havae read all your books and while I adore the wolves, all of the shifters are interesting.
I agree! Thanks for stopping by and good luck!
Happy Anniversary!
My favorite shifter is probably Wolf. But, I’ve read so many shifter stories, and I love almost all of them!!
Thanks, Tawnie! Good luck in the contest!
My favorites are the mountain lion pride. I fell in love with them in Callie’s book. They are strong, yet sweet, and vulnerable. Awesome combo!
They’re definitely sweeties, Amanda! Good luck in the contest! Hugs, RE
Happy Anniversary. I have not read any of your books but I know that one of my favorite shifters is a wolf. I haven’t read any other books about any other kind of shifters!!!
I wish you good luck, Sabrina! Thanks for stopping by!
I have read all your books & love them. I’d have to say wolves are my favorite shifter but I love so much about each shifter. I’m excited for book about Melody.
Thanks so much for stopping by, Lisa! I’m so glad to have you as a fan. Melody’s book will be out in January so stayed tuned to the blog. Good luck!
My favorite type of shifter is the wolf. 🙂
They’re definitely awesome, Monica! 🙂
I would mountain lion as I really enjoy your books about them
Thanks, Rebekah!
First off congratulations on your two year anniversary! I love wolf shifters but since reading your books I also love bear and cat shifters as well, but since your Ashland pride series I have to say those cats stole my heart! So I will say cat shifters.
Thanks so much, sweetie! Aw, I’m glad the cats stole your heart!!
Congratulations on you two year anniversary that is amazing I love wolves most of all and then cat’s I love your books so much and I’m so excited to see what comes next from you Thank you for the awesome chance.
Thanks so much, Donna! Good luck!
OMG! Happy Anniversary, R.E.
I find all shifters fascinating, but I’m partial to your mountain lion males. Close second? Hyenas. Who’d think you could make lovable shifters out of these nasty predators? So glad you did!
Thanks so much, Judy! I’m glad that I was able to make the hyenas into heroes and I definitely love my lions, too.
Congrats on your anniversary, I’m a huge fan. I love all weres but I have to choose I’d go with the bears. So big! Mmmmmmm
LOL, Caroline! Great answer!
I would have to say that the Lions are my favorite shifter even though I love all of your books. Can’t wait for more to come out 🙂
Thank you so much, Tina!
Happy Anniversary!!! I am partial to wolves. I’ve been collecting them for years. I do like all your books though! Looking forward to many more books in the years to come.
Neat, Kim! I collect all sorts of animal statuary, but I don’t have a lion yet (wolves and bears and a few others), I’ll need to get one for inspiration!
I like all shifters but I especially love tigers. Can’t wait to read more of your books. 🙂
Thanks so much, Nar, good luck!
First Micheal’s story was one of my favorite as well! Also Happy 2 year anniversary! So my answer is wolves, the sexy alphas and loyalty from the pack just gives me the gooses!
Love it, Martine! Thanks so much!
Happy anniversary. I adore your books. My wedding anniversary is on the 14 of november 2009.
I love the wolves. They are awesome.
That’s cool Cachel! Happy anniversary early! Good luck!
I have always had a great love for wolves, so really enjoy stories involving them. I do enjoy some of the cats but wolves will always be a favorite.
I understand, Deb! Good luck in the contest!
My Favorite Shifter is a tie between Dragons and Wolves
Thanks for stopping by Patches! 🙂
Have a very Happy Anniversary you have worked so hard to entertain all of your fans. I really like Wolf, Cats and Bears it is very hard to say one.
Thanks so much!!
I love your books and my favorite is wolves but I think I love them all!!
Thank you so much, Jennifer!
I love wolves, but it’s a tie for my favorite shifter between hyena and honey badger.
Tala, a honey badger shifter would be cool!
I love wolves.
Thanks for stopping by and good luck!
I would have to say wolves also but I do love the feline shifters too!
Thanks, Sherri! I wish you good luck!
I love the bears. They just seem like they’d be warm and cuddly.
Don’t they? I think I’d love to cuddle up to one. Fun!
I would have to say leopards. Really any from the cat family, but leopards would top that list.
Leopards would be neat, with their sleek bodies and cool patterned fur!
Wolf but lion and jaguar are right up there too.
I’m definitely hearing a lot about jaguars! 🙂
Love your books!! Happy Anniversary!
Thanks, Michelle!
Started off loving the werebears but now I love the werelions
Aw, I love them, too! 🙂
It’s really hard for me to choose a single favorite type of shifter. In life, I’m an avid dog lover, so it would seem natural to love wolves best, but I really love the large cat shifters, the panthers, jaguars, and other extremely large kitties. I thought about mentioning dragons as a favorite, and I do like them, but if I wanted to cuddle with them in animal form, I’m miss the fur of the other animals, though the elevated body heat would be nice. Bears are cool, but again, the cats are just sexier looking. They have that sexy, predatory walk, that slinky way of stalking, all those things going for them that other types of shifters simply can’t bring to the competition. So, I guess I’m a cat shifter fan, pure and simple. Thanks for a fabulous giveaway. michelle_willms(at)yahoo(dot)com
Thank you so much for your amazing comment, Michelle! Good luck in the contest!
live me some bears, and wolves
Good luck in the contest, Jennifer, thanks for stopping by!
Congrats wow two years already I love all you’re books I love all types of shifters but I have a weakness for feline shifters am even getting a feline tattoo soon 😉
Neat, Jessica! I have a tiger tattoo, so I’ve loved big cats for a long time! Thanks so much!
I love wolves!
*howl* Me, too, Eran! LOL!
I love the wolves, but my favorites are also large cats!
Thanks, Michele – good luck!
I think the wolves are my favorites. I like their personalities and the pack dynamics.
Their hierarchy is definitely one reason I enjoy writing about them! 🙂
I love all shifters, but wolves are my all time favorite. They are just so sexy and Alpha. Yummy!
Thank, Rhonda!
I love the big cat shifters. They sound so beautiful and powerful.
I agree, Debra!
Congratulations on the two years!
My favorite shifter is the wolf. There is just something about an Alpha Wolf that gets me every time.
Thanks, Kim! Alpha wolves are definitely fabulous. 🙂
Its hard to say which shiftier animal I like most, I like Bears and the Cats equally followed by the hyenas then the wolfs. And Congratulation on two wonderful years of your writing adventure.
Thanks so much, Sarah!!
My favorite shifters are wolves and tigers.
Good choices, Tina!
Congrats on your two years. Love, love,love your stories
Thanks, Tina!!!!
Im going to have to say Wolf 😉 Even tho I have read a few really good bear shifter stories. Wolf still wins!
Congrats:)
LOL, Loretta! Thanks so much!
All in all I’d have to say Cat shifters are my favorites. Just that added touch of mystery & sexy does it for me. 🙂
They’re definitely sexy!
Happy Anniversary!!! I love all of the books you have written each series is so unique and full of interesting qualities of each shifter. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks, Misty!
First off, congrats on your 2 year anniversary, your stories are always so amazing, always well written and lots of attention to detail. I’ve read almost all of your stories, and what I haven’t read yet is waiting for me in my kindle. Secondly, I do love all shifters, but my favorite shifter would have to be wolfs. They’re just loyal, protective, hot, and I’ve responded more to the wolf stories I’ve read opposed to other shifter stories. Love your stories R.E., can’t wait to read more 🙂
Thanks so much, Lori! I’m so glad to have you as a long-time fan! *hugs*
Happy anniversary love ur books
Thanks so much, Jackie!
Congrats on 2 years!!! I love all shifters wiith bears being my favorite!
Barrie
Thanks so much, Barrie!
Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary. I love those werewolves. Then the big cats.
Thanks, Leslie! Wolves & big cats are definitely popular! I love them, too!
Congrats R.E!!!my fav shifters are cats and wolves!
Thanks so much, Iliana! I’m so glad you could stop by! Good luck!
Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary. I absolutely love all of your books. My husband past away 3 years ago and my therapy was reading books. So thank you for helping me with my therapy! You are an inspiration to anyone who wants to start writing a book. I adore all shifter books and have read all of yours.
Thanks so much for stopping by, Kat. I’m so sorry for your loss, but very glad that you were able to find peace within my stories and others. Good luck in the contest and take care! Hugs, RE
I forgot to add that my favorite shifters are the Lions. I love that the men are so loving and caring.
They’re sweeties for sure, Misty!
I am pretty much a fan of all of the shifters, but if I have to choose one I do gravitate towards the wolf as well. Thank you so much for letting us celebrate this awesome milestone with you. Congratulations on the two years and may the next year bring you continued joy and success in all your endeavors 🙂
Thank you so much, Denise! I’m so glad you could join me for the celebration, good luck!
First of all congrats! I have to go with wolves as my favorite shifter.
Thanks so much, Mick!!
I love your ebooks. I started reading starting with your first book and have enjoyed every single one. My favorite shifters are the lions, because they are so protective and sensitive and loving.
Lydia, that’s so sweet and amazing! Thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest!
Congratulations! My favorite shifter is the lion. I love cats, so it makes sense.
I’m definitely a cat person, too, although I don’t have one right now and have two dogs instead! 🙂
My favorite shifter is the wolf. Congratulations on your second anniversary. And may you be around many more years.
Thank you so much, Jackie!!
Congratulations on your two year anniversary! My favorite type of shifter is bear, but I also love dragons and tigers.
Thank you so much, Marie! Dragons are definitely on my to-write list!
CONGRATULATIONS on your second anniversary of self publishing! I found it REALLY interesting, and sweet, that you know the exact date of your first fan letter & that you print out & feature them in your work space. That’s just really cool! As far as my favorite type of shapeshifter? I’d have to say wolf – which probably explains a lot about why I’m so partial to dogs LOL!
Thanks so much! I cherish all my fan mail, whether it’s a comment on FB or the blog or an actual email. I’m happy I was able to share that tidbit on the blog. Thanks so much for stopping by and good luck!!
Like all shifters! But love Lions the best!!!
Lions are very cool for sure, Cathy!
Congratulations!
Feline shifters are my favorite, love pumas/jaguars the best
Thanks, Teresa! Good luck!
I love them all!! Congrats on your second anniversary of self publishing!
That’s a great answer, Tammy! Thanks so much!
I cannot make up my mind which I prefer – it really depends on the author. Some have really great wolves while others I can’t stand. In general, I like ALL types of shifters. I mean, how cool would it be to be able to shift into ANY kind of animal? Even a snake would be cool! And yes, I did grow up with pet hog-nosed snakes. 😉
Congrats on your anniversary! If I could write, I’d keep track of the anniversaries as well.
Good point, Shauntih! I enjoy writing about shifters because it really is neat to think about what it would be like to be able to shift. Thanks so much for stopping by and good luck!
Congratulations … I love all types of shifters…if I had to pick one it would be wolves,I am an avid reader of paranormals and there are so many varieties of shifters now,your books got me hooked on Bear shifters !! Thank you for writing the books you do…….
Thanks so much for stopping by and your sweet compliment, Ruth! I’m glad I got you hooked on bears! Good luck in the contest!
congrats on two years. i love your books. as for my favoite type of shifter, it has to be cats. black panthers really, followed by bears
Thank you so much, Iris!
First congrats!!!!!!!! On to answering the question,I would have to say in this order wolves are my utmost favorites then those lovable lions,but I really can’t leave out those bears,tigers,and falcons I’ve come to care about through you. The hyenas are growing on me and really want them to see their hea to.
Vivian, you’re so sweet! Thank you so much and good luck in the giveaway!
Congrats on your second anniversary! I think my favorite shifter is the wolves, but the lions are a very close second. I love all your books and have to say my favorite is still Callie’s story. I think it’s because of the heartbreak of her long time friendship with Cadence and her becoming her own strong person because of the love of two great guys. Can’t wait to read the next Ashland book and looking forward to the next Hyena and Wolf stories….don’t stop writing, I want to be commenting on your third anniversary as well! 😉
Thanks so much, Debbie! You’re so sweet, I hope to see you again in a year, too! Hugs, RE
Congrats on your second anniversary! I love all types of shifters But love wolves the best!!!
Thanks, Lory! Good luck!
Happy two year anniversary! Love all your books.my favorite shifters are wolves but I love all of the shifters you write about.
Joy, you’re so sweet! Thanks so much and good luck in the contest!
It is so hard just to pick one. It would be 1st bears then 2nd would between lions and wolves. Over all I love everything you write. Never stop
You’re so sweet, Amber! Thank you so much!
Congrats on your anniversary! Normally my favorite shifter would be a tie between a wolf, and cat ( tiger, lion, or jaguar) but after your last book jesuit’s falcon sounded so amazing because he could fly and it would be amazing to do that.
Aw, Laurie, thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed Jes’ story, I think being able to fly would be pretty darn cool, too!
way to go on two years. each type of shifter has a special place in my heart. I have to say I love them all!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent answer, Barbara! Good luck and thanks for stopping by!
Favorite is wolves!!!!!
I’m howling right along with you, Jennifer!
Happy 2nd anniversary! I love all your books, have reread them many times. I would have to say that the big cats are my favorite. I love the way the Ashland pride is all about family, no matter who they came from. Keep up the great work, as I am eagerly awaiting the next book. Please let it be longer then A Promise on white wings though, that was a small disappointment.
Thanks so much, Carrie. I’m glad to have you as a fan!
Happy Anniversary!
My favorite shifter is well all of them!
Hard to pick. Love all your books . Can’t wait for more! Need more!!!!!!!!
Great answer, Melissa! Thanks so much for your kind words, I’m writing as fast as I can, LOL! Good luck!
Happy Anniversary! Wow 2 years and 19 books ~ That’s Awesome!!!
My favorite shifter…a lynx. They are the most beautiful animal. They are snow cats with big feet, awesome fur and beautiful eyes. I adore big cats. Our house cat looks like a miniature black panther and he weighs 25 pounds. He could use the big feet of a lynx, believe me!
My second choice would be gargoyles. I read a series by Vickie Taylor that was shifter gargoyles and it fed my fantasies. Thanks for the giveaway 🙂
Very cool! I’ve read gargoyle stories as well, they’re definitely neat and maybe someday I’ll write about them! Good luck in the contest!
Have to admit that I’m partial to wolves but being a Leo Ive a thing for the lions and am hoping to see tigers crop up in the future!
Hi Brit! The tigers are going to get their own series in the future, so stay tuned! Good luck!
Wolf shifters are my favorite types of shifters! Congrats on 2 years, awesome!! 🙂
~Veronica Vasquez~
Thanks so much, Veronica!
Happy Anniversary!
Thanks Michelle!
Wolves are my favorite type of shifters.
They were my “first” shifter love, so they’ll always hold a special place in my heart. 🙂
I love the wolf shifters. But, I can’t get enough of your wiccan-were-bear series.
Thanks so much, Julie!
Oh R.E. you know your my absolute favorite author and all your stories are amazing. I love them all, but if I have to choose just one ( which is sooo hard.. ) I think it would have to be the mountian lions I have a soft spot for those sweet, kind, loving men. Thank you for sharing your wonderful mind with us through your stories. Jenny xoxo. 🙂
Hi Jenny! You’re so sweet, thank you!! I’m so glad you like the mountain lions! xoxox, RE
I really do. And Congrats on 2 years that’s amazing! Here’s wishing you 100 more 🙂
Happy Two Year Anniversary! Love your series you are truly an amazing writer.
My favorite shifters are dragon and wolf. I’d love for you to do a dragon series. 🙂
Thanks, Stephanie! I’ve put dragons on my to-write list!
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! The big cats are my fav. Black panther, lion and tiger. Can you imagine what a black panther could get away with at night. Rowr! Your sweet mountain lions really make me smile. Thank you for sharing your amazing stories with us. -Shelley
Shelley, thank you so much for stopping by. Black panthers – they’d be really stealthy and naughty, I think!
Happy anniversary!! My favorite shifters are wolf. They are so powerful and beautiful and give off such strength and power. HOWEVER—I love the were-bears too!
Thanks for stopping by, Brenda!
Congrats and please keep writing! I think I’m leaning towards the Cats but love the wolves too! Have a Blessed day
Jennifer, thanks so much! I hope to be able to keep writing for a long time! Hugs, RE
Two years! Yay! I’ve always loved wolves but man oh man, I think right now I’m more in love with your mountain lions!!!! xo
You’re such a sweetie! I’m so glad to have you as a friend AND a fan. Hugs, RE
Happy Anniversary! I can’t believe its already been two years! I love all of your characters, but my favorite of all are the wolves!

Thanks, Pam!
Happy Anniversary!!! I just have to say YOU ROCK!!! I love all animals but wolves have my heart!!!
Thank you so much, Tiffany! 🙂
Happy Anniversary!!! <33 my favorite type of shifter…i think would be tiger shifters…idk i loooove wolves but there is something about a tigers roar.
They’re definitely an animal that you listen to when they roar! Thanks, Jane!!
I love reading shifter romances but I’m not sure that I could choose a favorite. I have wolves, tigers, jaguars, coyotes, hyenas, dragons, and others. I love them all!
I totally understand Ashley! 🙂
Would say wolfs are first then vampires would b second.
But I do love them all!!
Cynthia, thanks for stopping by!

There are so many choices in types of shifters!! I do love the wolves, but I think my favourites are the big cats & bears.
Congrats on the 2 years. Wow, time flies so quickly. Please, please keep up the good work, love your books.
Thanks so much, Simone! It has gone by quickly! I’m so glad to have you as a fan. Good luck in the contest!
I love wolf shifters. Dragons are a close second.
Thanks for stopping by, Kimberly!!
Thanks for stopping by, Kimberly!
Happy two year anniversary-I am very glad for this because if you hadn’t started writing I would never have been able to read your books-my favorite being the wiccan were bear series (A Curve of Claw being my favorite overall). To answer the question, I absolutely love almost all shifters but my favorite would have to be wolf shifters. They specifically are my favorite because out of all the shifter books that I have read I love that fact that a wolf mates for life (in some of the steamier ones I have read the male (usually the wolf in the relationship) happens upon the woman’s scent and instantly knows that is their mate-my favorites of the shifter novels have that sort of theme and I love it!).
Thanks, Krista! You’re so sweet! You know, I really love the mate-scent, too. I think there’s just something really neat with a wolf immediately knowing that a person is his perfect mate, regardless of what she looks like. Powerful! And so much fun to write! Hugs, RE
I love all shiftertype, but my most favorite type is a type you did not write a book over and that are te dragonshifters. My favorite bookserie from you are is the Hyena heat. I also what tot wish you a happy anniversary.
Jolanda, I am hearing a lot in comments about dragons. I’ve added them to my to-write list, but I also love to read about them, too, so I’m looking forward to making a world for them to live in of my own! Thanks so much for stopping by and good luck!
I tried to leave a comment on the International Rafflecopter giveaway but it did not worked.»I love all shifters but my favorite is the wolf. I am almost done reading Lachyln’s book and I already am wondering when Melody’s book will be published. Happy two year anniversary!
I hope you’re able to enter the contest, Dominique! Thanks so much for the good wishes. Melody’s book should be out in January, I haven’t decided on a publication date yet. 🙂
I love the Bear shifters but my favorite is the wolf. I have read everything you’ve written and would like to encourage you to please write faster. Happy two year anniversary.
Thank you so much, Edith! I am writing as fast as I can, I promise! 🙂 Hugs, RE
I personally love all the shifters but I’d say I’m partial to the wolves. There is something about them that captures my inner interest. The whole pack life which resembles the strong concept of family, protection and unity that most people wish for in their own lives me included. So I find a comfort when I read there stories and fall into the very world of a wolf shifter. Happy Anniversary…looking forward to more years of your writing.
Thank you so much for your amazing, thoughtful comment, Angelita! I love what you said and it’s one of the reasons that I enjoy writing about wolves. I love the idea of the pack, too. Thanks so much for your good wishes. Hugs, RE
Congratulations, 2 years. I love all shifters, but my favorite of the shifters would have to be bears. They are big and cuddly. Love bears.
Thanks, Sharon! I love the bears, too, and miss writing about them! Good luck!
Congrats I love all ur books I have all of them and reread the so much I can pretty much nail and know where every line is from ur a fantastic writer keep up the great work and don’t stop writing ur wonderful books so excited about the next hyena book
Thanks so much, Ann! That’s the most amazing compliment! I’m so happy to have you as a fan. I’m working on Whisper’s book in between others as well, and hopefully will have it out over the summer. Thanks for stopping by, you’re amazing! Hugs, RE
My favourite type of shifter hmmmm now that’s a hard question to answer because I have 5 favourite types lol male mountain lions, bunnies (eve langlais), wolves , bears and eagles 🙂
Hi Zetlin! You’ve got a great list of favorites! 🙂
I think it depends on whose writing it. I have read about some amazing tiger, bear, lynx, fox,wolf, hawk, eagle, falcon, heck, even ferret shifters! I think if the author has done the story well and written credible characters we don’t care what they turn into as much as if they turn us on!
I like big cats and wolves
I like big cats and wolves
Me too, Freida!
I agree completely! LOL!
p.s. LOVED the necklace books but esp. The Gigolos Necklace because of the Main Male leads past was just so heart-wrenching to me.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed Eden’s story!
I like wolves & big cats.
You are not alone, Mary! They’re definitely favorites!
After reading all of your books and if it is out of what you write, I would have to say the lions, I love how they are really strong but also very tender. They are so hard done by, by the female lions that your heart just goes out to all of them.
Thank you so much, Ann! That’s so sweet. I love the lions, too!
My personal favorite shifter would have to be panthers. I love all the cats and then the wolves, but there is just something sexy and manly about the panthers.
Very good point, Joan! Panther shifters are definitely sexy!
Most definitely wolves.
I love ’em too, Tracy!
I’m gonna go with wolves, jaguars and panthers, I just can’t choose between them!
It’s hard to choose when they’re all so awesome! I waver between the different kinds myself. 😉
My favorite is wolves
Thanks for commenting, Gidget! Good luck in the contest.
Either werewolves or werefoxes
Ooh, foxes! I hadn’t thought about them, but very cool!
Happy Anniversary!!! Wish you many, many more to come. You writing help me to cope with the stress of everyday life. Thank you for bringing so many characters to live and keep our imagination at work. Blessings and Congratulations again!!!!
Karin, thank you so much for your sweet compliment! I really appreciate your support and I’m glad that my books have helped you! Big hugs, RE
Bear shifters are my favorite followed closely by wolves.
Bears are definitely the big cuddlers on my list! 🙂
Wolves, then cats, then bears.
Great list, Marie! 🙂
i love all your books and have everyone of them. i would have to say my fav is the wolf. cant wait to see whats next :0)
Thanks, Book-aholic! I’m writing as fast as I can!! 🙂
I’m partial to tigers (hmm…acctually to any of the big cats!) but wolves come in a close second, with bears and dragons as faves too! An occasional gargoyle is quite nice alo.
Crystal, I agree! Unfortunately the contest is over, but it’s always great to hear from fans! Thanks for stopping by!
