I’ve been mulling around the idea of a new free series to offer through my website and newsletter. One with individual stories rather than series installments—although some of these short stories might span a couple of months. I’d like them to be related by place and have some of the same characters appear throughout these sexy little reads.
And the best part will be that the stories will be centered around a family of feline shifters. I love furry heroes!

I voted for the West Texas Ranch. After all, you can’t have too many sexy, sweaty cowboys now can you.
Comment
I voted for Colorado. Now the weather is turning colder, I’m having ski lodge/fireplace/cocoa and snow visions!
Comment
Jody and Vicki!
Fantastic! And you’ve both given me ideas for stories!
Comment
I also voted for the Colorado Mountains. There is such beautiful scenery!
Comment
Carol M! I agree. I already set one western there (SADDLED). And if the winning setting is Colorado, I won’t mind taking a field trip to do some location research!
Comment
One more for Colorado Mountains! I have seen some beautiful pictures.
Comment
Totally the mountains. I think I just need a vacation!!
Comment
Colorado here too, but it was a close call, I love panther 🙂
Comment
I love free stories, I love your books and my best friend lives in Colorado-in the mountains!
Comment
I voted for Louisiana—love the panthers!
Comment
Eva! They are gorgeous. And my brother lives in Colorado Springs. I’d love to take a trip to see him, and then head up to some of the old mining camp towns.
Amelia! Don’t we all! 😆
Ute! Mine is the only solitary vote for the bayou stories. 🙁
Comment
Marcy! It’s a trifecta!
Estella! I’m not the only one. Whew! There’s still time to turn this around.
Comment
I’m all about Colorado especially since we will be moving back there around the April/May time frame. Plus after tigers my favorite feline peeps are lions of any type.
Comment
Delilah, I voted, but I see I’m out numbered on this.
I love Texas and it’s cowboys, but Wyoming would have been my second choice.
BHowever the location isn’t nearly as important as the characters and the story line.

I voted for Colorado Mountains because it seemed like the most “exotic” (read: least used as a setting) option. It would be fun to read something set in a “new” place.
Comment
I voted for mountain lion even though my father got a picture of mountain lion on the family ranch din the Dakotas the first week of October.
Comment
I love shifter stories and all these locations sound great to me. I ended up voting for the cougars in West Texas. Haven’t read a cougar story in awhile.
Comment
I voted for the Louisiana Bayou. There is something dark, sexy & very mysterious about any story that takes place here.
Comment
Well D,
Ya had to know I’d vote for my home area- the LA Bayou. Whichever area wins, I know the stories will be interesting, exciting and sexy.
Comment
Hi Delilah-
I voted for Lions (Colorado Mountains). I like them all but like Brandy Lions are my favorite after tigers.
There is nothing (other than wolves, of course) that screams Alpha Male than a Lion “manning” his pride.

I’m went with the Bayou. I love reading stories set in Louisiana.
Comment
I voted for the Louisianna Bayou. I think the deep south gets the short end of the stick with shifter stories. If you wanted to extend territory – All along the gulf with factions in Louisianna and Florida would be good.
Comment
i like cougoarsand texas everyting is bigger in texas lol 😎
Comment
I love the mystery of the Louisiana Bayou and I know you’ve written Vamps in New Orleans before, so that’s my vote!
Ash
Comment
I voted! I love shifter stories.
Comment
I voted for the Cougars. They are such slick looking beast.
Comment
Wow! Had no idea y’all would be so interested in shifter stories! Thanks for all the great feedback!! More questions are coming as I narrow down the scope. Want to make sure I have all your preferences considered!
Comment
I voted for the Colorado Mountains. My mom’s said it’s snowing really good there now. I love Colorado but live in Washington now.
Comment
I voted the Panthers love the black cats 😀
Comment
DD how have you been? I have not been around lately sorry. I voted for the Louisiana Bayou story. Though to be quite honest anything you would write would be great. My second choice would be Colorado. Good luck and cannot wait 😀
Comment
I voted for the LA bayou and if he could call me cher is that sexy cajun accent he’d be just about perfect lol.
Comment
Panthers of Louisianna all the way. They are sleek and sexy beasts and I love stories set in the deep south. Must be all that swamp water.
Comment
I voted for Louisiana Bayou. Yum. Love that accent *g*
Comment
I had to vote for the Colorado Mountains. Even with all the traveling I’ve done, nothing is as special to me as the Colorado Mountains because I know I’m home when I see them.
Comment
I can’t believe you would make me choose between 3 of my fav felines.
Comment
I voted for the Colorado Mountain Lions but I’d be happy with the Louisiana Bayou panthers too.
Comment
I voted for the Colorado Mountains.
Comment
I picked the Louisiana Bayou. But it was so
hard to pick between the cats. Can’t wait
to see what wins. Panthers have always been my favorite.

Comment
I voted for the panthers!!
Comment
Nothing like reading about heat and humidity in the middle of winter…unless it is snow and cold temperatures in the summer!
Comment
I love pumas so I voted for Colorado mountain lion. I think Louisiana is more for vamps and Texas is for cowboys but there is something about the wilds of Colorado and the mountains that would make a perfect story setting. Not overdone or stereotyped. Perfect for a shifter.
Comment
I voted!! They all sound awesome, but I’m all about lovin’ me some panthers!!
Comment
I voted for the Bayou. I LOVE cajun accents. HAWT!
Comment
My vote is for the Bayou too. Panthers are kinda sexy, but what is even more sexy is the Bayou accent….eh cher?
Comment
I’d say the mountain range that runs through the middle of the eastern US-like thru Virginia & Tennessee
Comment
I like the setting of the Louisiana Bayou.
