I am a guest blogger today on Authorial, agently, and personal ramblings, which is my agent, Lucienne Diver's blog. The topic? Gargoyles, and Demons, and Shifters, Oh My!
In my offering, I list my four rules for story development, especially when incorporating some fantasy trope like shapeshifting or the fae or demons. And these four are...
I illustrate these points with the rai-kirah books.
Over the past week, Lucienne has hosted guest blogs from a number of her writers who do shapeshifters and demons and other beasties - including Lynn Flewelling, Faith Hunter, and Susan Krinard.

Oh, my. Carol... that French version... to-die-for cover. :) Is that the one that's just coming out? (Yeah, I'm currently staring at the French Amazon, though they don't show the cover...)
Shall I order? Yeah. I muddled through the German Amazon to order the equally to-die-for German version of Rothfuss' Name of the Wind... I can do this! (No, I don't speak or read French... why do you ask?) ;)

You know, Amazon makes it much too easy. Not even necessary to speak French! It did take a bit of a search (finally with the ISBN) to find other websites where they posted what *size* paperback. It is indeed a trade paperback (15 x 24 cm). And it should be here in about 2 weeks :)

Isn't it gorgeous? I am so THERE.

The cover is very yummy indeed.
I've done this a time or forty myself, usually going on the theory of "why should anything involving any of the characters be easy/black-white/straightforward?"
Never mind that any outward "stress" is a great motivator towards having said characters be put through the proverbial (and sometimes literal) wringer.
