A "Tail" of Two Logos

So...tail? Yep. Tail. Cue the shifter jokes because I'm diving into the fun and furry world of werewolves! 

See, a funny thing happened on the way to tying up the loose thread that I'd left hanging when I decided to make  Light Up the Night a much shorter story than I'd originally planned. It's what usually happens when I pull on a thread. I  end up with a whole new tapestry.

See, the vampire love story I intended to write for Heather and Drew involved a side trip to the mountains to deal with some troublesome werewolves. But the side trip became a whole entire subplot involving Liz and Jason. So I decided to split the story into two and to call this second story Chasing Daylight.  So far, so good.

But then...I made a crucial error in judgement when I decided to enter Chasing Daylight into a Shifter anthology. Because just because there are werewolves on the page, doesn't mean this particular story was ever going to be a werewolf romance. 

So I  decided to write a separate story for the anthology, which I'm doing and I'm loving. It's called Can't Fight the Moonlight (there's a message there for me, I think!) and now...I've got a brand new shifter series to write and a brand new shifter world to play in and a brand new problem deciding between two different logos. Which is where you come in. Here are the choices and here's the link to the poll: https://forms.wix.com/r/7011191113025323677 do I go with granite gray (with what looks to me like claw marks) or do I go with the shifting shades of moonlight-on-snow blue?



Also, here's the blurb and one version of a possible cover...


The Sierra Nevada foothills have been vampire Josiah Lodge’s hunting grounds for nearly two centuries. Alone since a lover’s betrayal cost him his nest, the former trapper-turned-wild-crafter has given up on ever again finding love or acceptance. If he didn’t have to eat, he’d never venture out of his woods again. But needs must.

When Coldpelt (Cole) Moonwalker’s true shifter nature asserted itself, he was judged an abomination and cast out of his pack. Without a territory to call his own, he’s constantly on the move, constantly in danger—which is how he ends up passed out and injured on Josh’s front porch. While Cole dreams of someday finding a place where he can belong, he knows that place can never be with the scarred and surly vampire who undoubtedly has the blood of Cole’s people on his hands.

Will the attraction they feel for one another allow these natural enemies to overcome their sense of mutual distrust? Is enemies with benefits even a thing? 

Find out when the FREE anthology Shifter Fever debuts April 1st.
