The unexpected virginity surprise is one of the tropes in romance novels that I can either love or hate. How I feel about it comes down to several factors, but mostly my enjoyment from it or lack thereof comes around how the author handles the unexpected virginity surprise from start to finish.

Lycanthropy – Disease or Genetics?

by Keira 07.28.2011

When it comes to paranormal world building there are two major philosophies on how a character can have lycanthropy. Both, depending on the author, have some connection with the moon.

Babies, Kids, and Adult Children: What’s your take?

by Keira 06.21.2011

Vampires vs. Werewolves: Does Size Matter?

by Keira 05.13.2011

I bet that headline caught your attention! This post started innocently enough in the comments of The Smell of a Hero. Susan said: In my world everyone’s fang obsessed (lol) I’d say werewolves would also use fangs since wolves have large canines. (No claws) he-he. I said: They do have large canines.
