    β€œCates crafts anβ€”as the name of the series impliesβ€”almost human version of the vampire species that is interesting in itself, then uses it to explore how it is often not the large or obvious differences that get in the way of two people building a relationship.”

  4. Camp Shifter Spotlight – DJ Jennings

    The Camp Shifter Series by DJ Jennings is Now in KU!

    Series Description:  This paranormal romantic comedy series features standalone stories set at Camp Shifter, a mandatory training facility where adults receive β€œThe Letter” summoning them to learn shifter ways. After experiencing The Morphβ€”the transformation that reveals their animal natureβ€”they must master everything from controlling their shifter forms to navigating public nudity with confidence. Camp Shifter provides classes taught by experienced shifters and serves as a community where people from all walks of life must accept a reality fundamentally altered by their newfound status.

    Throughout the series, Camp Shifter serves as the backdrop for fated mate romances featuring humor, heat, and heart. Special events like DarkNight create opportunities for connection in a community where transformation extends beyond the physical. With big misunderstandings, opposites-attract dynamics, and forced proximity bringing unlikely pairs together, these romantic comedies blend lighthearted fun with sensual content as characters learn that accepting their shifter identities and finding love often go hand in hand.

    Titles:  Owl Be Bear for You, You Shook Me Howl Night Long, DarkNight of the Moon

    Book Descriptions:

    Owl Be Bear for You

    Hot summer fun where you’ll change…in more ways than one.
    Librarian Mara Scioto lives a nice, neat, orderly existenceβ€”except when she’s being attacked by uncontrolled male shifters who need to mate.
    Pesky little detail, right?
    Raised by a grandmother who hates all shifters, she has one wish: to make it past the age of twenty-five without experiencing The Morph that tells you you’re one of them.
    And then the letter from Camp Shifter arrives with her name on it…
    Orthopedic surgeon in training Jack Karsten is waiting to see if he’ll follow in his shifter brother’s footsteps. Being a shifter won’t be so bad, if that’s his destiny, but when he meets Mara, he realizes that fate and love don’t always align.
    But love always wins.
    It can be a bear of an ordeal sorting it all out, but if anyone can help, it’s the staff at Camp Shifter. While they’ll train Jack and Mara on the ways of shifter life, there’s one thing they can’t teach them:
    How to get out of their own way and let love leave them changed.
    Forever.

    You Shook Me Howl Night Long

    Eliot β€œPole” Elianzo is a god in college football, and he knows it. Too bad he’s also a polar bear. The Morph happens on national television, right after a pro team picks him in the draft. It’s official–Pole is a shifter. And boy, is he livid. He can’t choose practice over his mandatory stay at Camp Shifter, but he sure can make camp a nightmare for everyone. Especially the hot ash blonde who’s teaching Undressed in Public 101 classes. Risa Devaneau can’t believe Pole’s in her class, in the first row, and very, very undressed. The former sportscaster and wolf shifter ran away from her testosterone-filled career for the quiet peace of Camp Shifter. Sure, teaching people how to be undressed in public isn’t exactly the most prestigious job, but it got her away from the city. From her overly controlling politician father. From her past. From Pole. And here he is, smirking at her, front and center. In his birthday suit.

    DarkNight of the Moon

    He lurks in shadows and mystery at Camp Shifter, coming out only during DarkNight, the wild, bacchanalian free-for-all where anything goes.
    Anything.
    No one has seen him in the daylight, no one knows where he lives, no one knows his name–and the shifter nicknamed DarkLover by women, DarkDude by men, will do anything to keep it that way.
    Andie Cumbington has been waiting her whole life for The Letter. One of the few shifters who is ecstatic about her newfound status, the chestnut-haired ballerina bear shifter arrives for her month at Camp Shifter with unbridled excitement. On her first DarkNight, she finds wild passion and–to her surprise–so much more, with a stranger who touches her heart as much as he lights up her body.
    And then he’s gone, back into the shadows, hidden.
    Exactly where he wants to be.
    Craving his touch with an insatiable desire, Andie can’t let go. She always wanted the roll in the hay, but she never imagined the passion would be so intense.
    Fate drives her to find love.
    Then a simple errand turns into mortal danger for Andie, and an impossible choice as DarkLover must overcome his biggest fear in order to save the woman he loves.
    But will it be too late?

    OWL BE BEAR FOR YOU

    The sudden kiss took Mara by surprise, Jack’s mouth slanted against hers with a determined passion that she matched without words. For the past forty minutes all she could think about was his face, his body, his eyes, those lips. She reached up and tore her glasses off, tucking them haphazardly into the outer opening of her purse, smashed between them as passion’s frenzy took hold.

    Now that she was in his arms, his thighs hard against her belly, his arms warm against her shoulders, she was nothing but pink fire and molten blood.

    A beat pounded between them, as if their hearts were in sync, his tongue dividing her mouth and tickling her teeth, the kiss as dangerous as it was unnerving.

    Dangerous because Mara felt herself falling for a man she barely knew.

    Unnerving because it all felt so right.

    She was supposed to argue with herself, fight against this tidal wave of emotion, tell herself she was being reckless and foolish.

    Those words weren’t there.

    Instead, there were only fevered kisses and touches that made her sigh for more. Now that she was in his arms, she wondered how she would ever live anywhere without being touched by him.

    Breaking the kiss, she said breathlessly, β€œI’m so sorry I never answered your text.”

    β€œYou can make it up to me with another kiss.”

    And before she could say yes, her tongue was in his mouth, dancing against his, their lips enjoying each other with an abandon that bordered on criminal.

    β€œGet a room.” Two different voices, one male, one female, said the words in unison. Mara broke away from Jack and stared at Sharon and Jim. The two were laughing and nudging each other. Given Mara’s reputation as the prim and proper librarian who never dated, she could only imagine what they were thinking as she totally lost it in front of them.

    β€œI’mβ€”Iβ€”oh, I’m so sorry!” Mara stuttered, struggling to catch her breath and gather her wits at the same time.

    Jack remained in place, his face suddenly serious, his arm remaining protectively around Mara’s waist.

    Without a word, he guided her to the main door and outside.

    Her back was against the brick building, his mouth hot and frenzied on hers, before she could even look up at the night sky and spot the moon. Pressing her breasts against his wide chest, she pawed at him, her hands unable to stop touching him.

    All the parts that were allowed in public, at least.

    Jack’s fevered breath poured onto her neck like hot silk. β€œI have never been like this with a woman before,” he groaned, his tongue making warm, wet love to the base of her throat. β€œYou do this to me, though. Only you. It’s like—” His abrupt halt gave Mara pause.

    β€œLike fate?”

  5. #PennedPossibilities 796 β€” Have you had to cut anything significant from your WIP? (Either for plot, cleanliness, redundancy, over explanation, or pace and literary effect.)

    Yes, I have. I’ve had to focus on smaller-scale cutting: certain sentences, phrases, words, etc. What an enormous sharpening effect judicious cutting has had on the story, and hopefully on the readers as well. And also, like the prompt suggests, I made changes for redundancy, plot, over explanation, cleanliness, pace and literary effect. It cleaned things up quite a bit, and I’ve been feeling rather proud of the finished product (for now). It made a huge difference.

    I’ve been working on that for #TheCityOfOpulence as well, a part of the #DigitalDystopia series. Nothing *gigantic* for the plot has been changed, though.
