If this doesn’t add up to 311, well…there’s a reason I’m an author and not a math teacher. 😉

Thank you to everyone who participated in the survey! <3 I don’t know what this means for future paranormal romance novels, except I’m guessing maybe quite a few of you (87) might be interested in seeing a dragon shifter character again at some point. Keira Blackwood and I wrote them into the Spellbound Shifters: Dragons Entwined series, as well as into our standalone reverse harem romance, Hope Reclaimed.

I also have plans for more wolves, bears, and big cats, and I will definitely consider others!
